PeteyPeek Posted July 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hello, We must have a fan when we sleep, there was a mention of someone wanting to bring a fan onboard, and there seemed to be some disappointment but there was no mention of it being forbidden. Has anyone brought a fan aboard the FOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted July 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2013 People bring battery operated fans. Don't think there's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyPeek Posted July 25, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted July 25, 2013 No health reasons, prefer white noise and circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat196 Posted July 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2013 We've been on four cruises in the last few years. My son and I can't sleep without our fans and have never had a problem bringing two onboard.......these are regular sized electric fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metairiegal Posted July 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Brought one on-board the Allure this past June with no problems. Depending on what side of the bed you sleep, you may need an extension cord as the outlet behind the bed is only on one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDCowboy Posted July 25, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Talked with RCI and there is no code or rule against it. I also must have a fan on or I will get stuffy and have a hard time breathing. Not a medical condition, but one my body is used to while sleepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure we could find new fans on board rather than bringing them on......Party on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaC Posted July 25, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) RCCL told me that extension cords are no longer allowed to be brought onboard. I guess I have to find a battery powered fan. . Edited July 25, 2013 by RhondaC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyPeek Posted July 26, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks to all! Rhonda, that is interesting....mine will have to be confiscated because it's coming with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDCowboy Posted July 26, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I didn't see where extension cords are forbidden. The RCL customer service girl said to make sure to turn off the fan when not in the room and there will be no problem. Buy a power strip with a long cord and the extension cord problem should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaC Posted July 26, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) I went on a ship tour of the Oasis. They took us through the back area of Security, and there were piles of irons, and power strips/extension cords. There were also bottles of liquor and other confiscated things.

Next time I will bring a smaller one myself. If they take it, they take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted July 27, 2013 #17 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I bring an ELECTRIC fan...batteries will NOT last for 6-7 full nights. Yes...you may bring your fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kassimer1 Posted November 6, 2013 #18 Share Posted November 6, 2013 i had no idea i could bring a fan. i will definitely bring one this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slhb Posted November 7, 2013 #19 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I called this morning after reading the same thread you mentioned. I was told by the rep after checking with her supervisor that fans were allowed and I specified electric not battery operated. We actually own both but the battery operated sucks through 6D batteries in a day. Neither one of us can sleep without a fan so that is a total deal breaker for me. We are going on the Liberty of the seas but I don't think that made a difference. Edited November 7, 2013 by slhb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
