Can u bring fans onboard? (FOS)

[PeteyPeek]

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?

People bring battery operated fans. Don't think there's a problem.

Is this for health reasons? If so, an affidavit from your M.D., might suffice.

No health reasons, prefer white noise and circulation.

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.

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.

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.

All us rock stars like a fan (or two or three) with us when we sleep. I guess that why you never see us on RCI cruise ships. I am sure we could find new fans on board rather than bringing them on......Party on!

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

Thanks to all! Rhonda, that is interesting....mine will have to be confiscated because it's coming with me.

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.

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. Edited July 26, 2013 by RhondaC

I needed an extension cord on the Allure. I called Maintenance and they brought me a huge heavy duty orange extension cord. Next time I will bring a smaller one myself. If they take it, they take it.

I have always brought a fan with me in all of the 20+ cruises I have taken! :)

So is mine...I ALWAYS bring an extension cord and as a matter of fact, when I requested distilled water for my DH's CPAP, that emailed me to tell me that they would provide it along with and extension cord. :)

I bring an ELECTRIC fan...batteries will NOT last for 6-7 full nights. Yes...you may bring your fan.

[kassimer1]

i had no idea i could bring a fan. i will definitely bring one this time

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
