LemurCat Posted April 28, 2010 #126 Share Posted April 28, 2010 lol TP surcharge of $1 a sheet, mandatory 1 roll per cabin minimum TP smuggled from home considered dangerous & prohibited special enforcement brigade will mount random cabin raids periodically to keep 'the piece' i think happy hour is warranted today:) TP from home *is* dangerous though ... it's too thick and clogs up the pipes. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted April 28, 2010 #127 Share Posted April 28, 2010 TP from home *is* dangerous though ... it's too thick and clogs up the pipes. ;) Think that is funny eh? I got back from Guatemala a couple months ago, their sewer pipes have been so shimmied around from constant earthquakes that any amount of TP will clog the system. So NO flushing TP! Took some getting used to........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindrid Posted April 28, 2010 #129 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I guess I'm the odd one here. I have never had the occasion or need to bring a powerstrip. We bring cameras and stuff like others do - maybe one should reevaluate your packing list if you can't get along with out one. Some people act like they can't get along with one receptacle, people like us obviously do fine. (Short of the CPAP poster). OMG what are we going to do???? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted April 28, 2010 #130 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Here's a solution ... Solar-powered chargers:http://www.earthtechproducts.com/p7.html Good idea, but I couldn't believe the price. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted April 28, 2010 #131 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Guess I better start losing a lot of weight so I can pack everything under my clothes that I wear to board The power strip has metal in it, and you have to pass through a metal detector. So that is not going to work too well. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemurCat Posted April 28, 2010 #132 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Good idea, but I couldn't believe the price. :eek: Costco has them cheaper sometimes. And like all technology, give it a year and it'll cost half as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted April 28, 2010 #133 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Didn't somebody recently come out with on that was just a pad and any item (chargeable) you placed in the pad would get charged? Yes, I recall reading about it - or was it on TV. Nonetheless, I don't recall its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted April 28, 2010 #134 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Looks like it might be time for a powermat. http://www.powermat.com/us/home/ That's it. You found it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakitty Posted April 28, 2010 #135 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Sounds like they need to bundle this into the WalMart Class Action case, as it impacts women disproportionately! Tom Maybe not Tom...most women I know carry tissues! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted April 28, 2010 #136 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Costco has them cheaper sometimes. And like all technology, give it a year and it'll cost half as much. Half of zero is still zero. So, it is going to end up being the same price. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjsea Posted April 28, 2010 #137 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Wonder how long it will be until they start renting special, safe powerstrips for an outrageously high price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemurCat Posted April 28, 2010 #138 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Half of zero is still zero. So, it is going to end up being the same price. :( They have another one for about $100. Costco had one for about $50 last Christmas time. Personally, I'm thinking abou the hand-crank iPod charger. Just in case the Mayan Apocalypse really does happen, my iPod will be fully charged and probably playing Iron Maiden during the Rapture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuizer2 Posted April 28, 2010 #140 Share Posted April 28, 2010 do we pass through a metal detector when we board? I cant remember Not at the debarkation port, but every port after that - yes. However, just to get into the debarkation port you have to pass through a metal detector, and your luggage goes through an airport style x-ray machine.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted April 28, 2010 #144 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Cheryl, unknowingly, had a small corkscrew (3" total with a 1" folding blade for the foil) in her carry on last week. They took us to the side, totally emptied the bag, and could not find it. Back through the scanner - closer look - it was found down in a crevice. I can understand something like that not being allowed on a flight, but a cruise? They confiscated it and gave her a receipt. I asked about the steak knives they would be giving us in the dining room... where they plastic now? :rolleyes: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I did see a champagne cork give someone a black eye once ......not sure what that has to do with corkscrews or power strips:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louann123 Posted April 28, 2010 #148 Share Posted April 28, 2010 They made me break off the little knife on my corkscrew and I was able to carry it on. If I had a choice, I would rather get stabbed with the foil cutter than the corkscrew part, but that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
