CruiseinNJ Posted March 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Does anyone know if a 10' tablet will fit in the safe on the Ecstasy? I'm leaving in 8 days (Whoooo Hoooo!) on the Carnival Ecstasy and would like to bring my tablet so I can Skype with my daughter and husband, who are staying home. If it won't fit in the safe, I'll load books on an older, smaller e-reader and leave the tablet at home. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitality08 Posted March 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My ipad mini fit in the safe with plenty of room left over, but I don't know how many inches the ipad mini is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseinNJ Posted March 23, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks - I'll looked up the size of the mini - it's 7.9 compared to the 10.1 of my tablet. Think there was an extra 2-3 inches in there? Edited March 23, 2014 by CruiseinNJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there was an extra 2-3 inches in there? if that's the case then yes, I think you'd be fine. Sorry, one caveat, I wasn't on the Ecstasy, I was on the Glory and the Freedom. I assume the safes are the same though. Hopefully will chime in with definite answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whenisdinner Posted March 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Freedom safes are small. 7inch tablet ok but not sure about a 10 inch tab. Door is about 8 inches, so it will be close sqeeze on the diagonal... Edited March 23, 2014 by Whenisdinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I have not put it in the safe in 8 cruises. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app from my IPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseinNJ Posted March 23, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks for the input. Looks like I'm going to bring the ereader instead. I don't know how current Carnivals website is but it says they average 10x8x9. But on the Ecstasy you still need to get a key for it! I've been on a few ships on Carnival and never remember needing a key! Must be one very old safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted March 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I have two Toshiba 10.1" thrives with cases. Both have fit into the safe, not a lot of room to spare and I am pretty sure they were put in on an angle, but that wasn't a problem.

tandemcruzr Posted March 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My Nexus 10 fit. The safe will either require a 4 digit PIN that you chose, or a card with a magnetic strip on the back. Not your S&S card, but a credit card will work. I'm bringing an expired gift card for our April cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheebah Posted March 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Our full size iPad fits in all carnival safes- however we haven't sailed on the ecstasy - you should be fine. My husband packs a tech backpack to hold and carry valuables just in case. Carnival Miracle video tour: Edited March 23, 2014 by Sheebah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseinNJ Posted March 23, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks everyone! Looks like I can bring it after all. I know what cards to use on the safe. My comment was taken from Carnivals site regarding the key. It called out Ecstasy and one other older ship. I do hope they have upgraded to either pin pad (preferred) or magnetic strip and still aren't in the dark ages.

snc_cam Posted March 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2014 yeah, they do... not sure why, unless if you lose your card or it demagnetizes, it may be difficult to get back into the safe. It is just easier since you don't have to carry around another card :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
