Did you bring a fan? If so, how big?

[NOLAbebe]

Have you ever brought a fan for your cabin? One for each passenger? How big was it? We have room in our luggage, but if it's going to be confiscated, there is no point in packing it! I bought two small, 5" battery-operated fans, but turns out they are tiny and only circulate enough air to keep my face reasonably comfortable. What do you do? If I bring anything larger, will it be allowed? I am not counting on good a/c OR a box fan from the steward. Tells what your solution is, please? :cool:

I've brought a fan every year, and never had a problem. This is the one I have:

They APPARENTLY don't have a size limit because I actually saw a guy totting this one off during disembarkation:

Well, good grief! I don't think we'd bring one THAT big! Does your little Honeywell fan plug in, or is it battery operated? If it plugs in, what kind of extension cord do you bring and where do you place the fan? Does it reach your bedside table/shelf?

O2 Cool makes a 10inch that runs on batteries or electricity. It folds to easily fit in suitcase and I think it has good power. I bring one on every cruise and love it. Bought mine at walmarts

That is the brand we bought, but we got the 5" ones (battery-operated, folding), and they are WOEFULLY inadequate.

It's a plug in. I bought these two things for this cruise specifically since we weren't in an interior room. Then I was just able to run the cable along the wall/floor taped. But in the balcony room the layout is different and it had to go across the middle of the room. I just sat the fan and CPAP on the table pulled a little bit closer.

And I don't have a picture of the fan out, but here's the cord and the table it was on:

For our recent Glory cruise we bought a 10" one at a CVS Store in Miami. It. Was $12. I used it in our hotel room ( InterContinental) and it passed my test. I put it on a chair each night...loved the breeze on my face! I left it in the cabin on purpose, maybe some other person can get relief from it. :)

I just purchased the O2 Cool 10 inch. It was easy to find at both WalMart and Target. It is very slim and puts out a remarkable amount of air for its size. I'll be taking it on our upcoming cruise on the Liberty.

Thank you! We will definitely be getting at least one larger fan!

A guy from my last cruise in June brought a box fan as carry on and had no problem.

I have an O2 Cool brand fan that I pack between layers of clothes in my suitcase. I've never had a problem with taking it. It is similar to this one.

We take this one for white noise only. Wouldn't recommend it for cooling.

We always take one when we cruise and have never had a problem. I keep it clean and in good shape. This is a newer version of the one we take. It oscillates and moves plenty of air without being to big.
