Power Strip/Surge Protector

[Marieze]

 

 

Hi Everyone! Please take a look at the Belkin Power Strip/Surge Protector I plan on bringing aboard the Golden in August. I just want to confirm that this type of plug will work in the cabin. We have 2 cellphones that will most likely need charging at some point, an ipad and possible laptop.

 

Will this work?

 

Thanks....Marieze

I use 2 of these on every cruise & also use the USB ports for charging. Just push that white button to adjust it to the best orientation for your plug.

It'll work just fine. We take one along just like the one you bought..

[Marieze]

Thank you both for the quick reply. I am really having the darndest time getting the thing to swivel when I pust the white button....am I missing something? I would think it shouldn't be that hard haha! :confused:

The circle that is supposed to re-orient is not fully cut around the whole circle....there is one part of the plastic that looks like it's fused together....therein lies the problem.....back to Amazon I guess.....ugh:rolleyes:

Yep. We have something very similar. It works well.

I just went to find this and it said ships within 2 months!!! :eek: But it looks awesome. I will keep an eye out in stores for something similar.

It is difficult to swivel the 1st time & try turning it both directions while pushing the button.

I carry a power strip and a 6ft extension cord. I also carry three way adapters with both 2 & 3 way prongs. You should be able to get it at Staples, Lowe's or home depot.

That's where it was! I have never seen that shipping time on Amazon before. I get impatient with Amazon sometimes since they have a fulfillment center in my town and another 20 miles away and 2 of my kids have worked there lol! Just let me come pick it up ha ha!

Get one where the plug that goes into the wall isn't attached to the body of the strip but is on a cord you have more flexibility

I have a really good travel power strip but I found that I really don't need it. It's heavy and takes up room in my suitcase. Just about every electronic device and camera charger has a USB connection so I just bring a relatively small plug with four USB ports.

 

I also recently got a very small charger for $16. It's about the size and weight of a cigarette lighter. It charges both my iPhone and iPad from depleted to fully charged and still has power left. I plan to bring it on my September cruise and think it'll be great for my long flights to Copenhagen when I read on my iPad Mini for hours. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A5C4QDK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1404010446&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40

I use this power strip for cruises: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015DYMVO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I can't quite tell if this is the same one as the picture in the first post, but it must be pretty similar. I bought the 1 AMP version before I knew that tablets need a 2.1 AMP USB charging port, but that's okay, I plug the tablet into the regular outlet, and leave the USB ports for phones and Kindle.

I am content that Princess knows it's business. I don't second-guess the captain either. Now the cruise director that's something else

I'm planning on bringing a power strip on the Coral Princess on my upcoming cruise this Saturday. Where should I pack it? My checked in suitcase or carry on?

I have a travel power strip with 2 110v outlets and 2 USB ports and a carry case. I usually just pack it in my carry on. Its never been an issue.

Hi Pam,

You are always quick with a reply and have been a wonderful source of information. Question on extention cords, will we need one in a balcony cabin on the Pacific Princess? Never needed one for the mini's? It's for the C-pap machine.

Thanks, Laura

Not every one :( I used to get along fine with only USB adaptors until I bought a new Canon camera about 18 months ago. It has a custom battery and the charger has a regular plug not USB. :mad:

There are two US style plugs and two European two pin plugs all in a row by the desk on the balcony cabins on the Pacific Princess. There is also a two prong razor recharger in the hairdryer in the bathroom

Always a good idea to bring your extension cord. You never know...

[Wehwalt]

On Ocean Princess balcony cabin but they are identical on Pacific Princess balcony cabins

Between the three of us in the mini-suite, we have two phones, a Kindle, a Nook, a laptop, a camera battery charger and a flat iron that need outlets for charging or use. We spent the last cruise taking turns to charge things.

I just bought an extension cord with six outlets for the next cruise. :)
