SlingBlade Posted May 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just wondering if you are able to request an electric fan for your staterroom or can you bringyour own. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2012 They went thru a while last year where they were confiscating fans. Fire hazard?? Not sure. I had my little newish 6 foot extention cord confiscated. You should be able to bring a battery powered fan without issue. I think its still up in the air about electric fans. they do have some box fans on some ships you can request .. after you board, but they are on a first come first served basis and a box fan is very noisy. I do know there is a deposit if you need a extension cord (like you need with a CPAP), $25 I believe .. so I would expect to need one with the fan and pay a deposit as well if they have them once you board.

dustyroad Posted May 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2012 a electric fan will probably confinscated at check in. and i doubt if they have them for you too put in your cabin. there is one plug-in in the bathroom just for a electric razor and one in the cabin usually by the desk. take a power strip for you phone/camera, ect.

I was told power strips would be confiscated, is why I brought the extension cord instead that had multiple outlets, which they also took (in Ft. Lauderdale) Have you read they now allow power stripes? I think they dont want you pulling down a lot of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMHAM1 Posted May 20, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2012 That is so strange. I need a fan noise to sleep and ALWAYS bring my little 4 inch mini fan. We also bring a power strip AND an extension cord for the CPAP. Maybe ours have never been taken up because I put it all away after we get up in the am. I don't want anyone to trip or anything.

dustyroad Posted May 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2012 powerstrips too ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeCodCruiser Posted May 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Per Carnival FAQ: • Electrical devices such as fans, power strips, multi plug box outlets/adaptors, and extension cords will be removed if determined to pose a hazard and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark. I printed out the FAQ and carried it on along with my 4" fan and extension cord figuring if there were a problem I would at least be able to consult a supervisor to determine the "hazard". I had no problems with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlingBlade Posted May 20, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I was thinking the smaller version fan if we brought it alone. Even tho it would be hilarious if I came walking thru the port with a huge box fan on my shoulder :D. Thanks for all the replies, have a friend going on the Fantasy that LOVES her fan at nite.
