Another question.....

[mykindaparty]

Just got diagnosed with acute extreme asthma today and was put on 4 inhalers a day plus a pill and a nebulizer 3 times a day. My question is should I call special needs before my cruise in april for an extention cord or should I just bring one with me? Thanks for any advice.

[Tripper10]

I would bring it along with documents for your affliction.

I bring a nebulizer for my son. I've never needed an extension cord. The mouth piece has a long hose (along with the electrical cord) was plenty long enough to reach from the plug to the bed.

 

Mykindaparty. ...didn't we cruise together before?

[cb at sea]

Either/or..you can bring one...and I would! your symptoms will likely improve in the sea air!

i would double up and call and bring your own better to end up with one extra than none at all:)

[mykindaparty]

Yes ma'am Westbank we sure did and had a blast on the bar crawl in keywest. Hope yall are doing good. We have had alot of ups and downs but still beating the odds and still cruising.

Agreed. I always ask for one for the 2 Cpaps we travel with, but also always pack one. Just in case and also for the hotel.

I plug my CPAP in the outlet behind the bed ( need single 220 to 110 converter). Steward moves mattress and plugs in. No light by my side of bed, no extension cord needed. Put machine on couch.

Not every ship's cabin is set up that way.

We always bring an extension cord, but why do you need an extension cord? You would just sit at the desk, and use it.

 

However, I always had one on hand for my son, and the extension cord came in handy sometimes while traveling. We also had a power converter in the car, just in case also. However, in your stateroom, or hotel, you should not need an extension cord.

Never been on a Carnival that was not, but you are right to correct me, I carry a cord in machine case just in case, but it is nice if you do not have to have cord across floor. Looks like she sails Carnival mostly. Edited February 24, 2016 by texast518

I always notify special services about my CPAP, but I have never used the extension cord they offer, I always bring my own.

I actually have only sailed on Fantasy class Carnival ships, and they have never been set up that way. Perhaps that is a feature of the newer ships?

We have been on 6 Carnival ships, 35 curises, but no big ships. Tom

[mykindaparty]

Thanks everyone I will call just to make sure they have one but am bringing my own too. The rate I am going will probably have to use it in the car driving down to Nola.

[Westbank is bestbank]

So glad to hear things are okay. Last time we communicated things weren't so good. Glad to see y'all are still cruisin.

[mykindaparty]

Thanks girly, hope everything is good with y'all too. Maybe we can cruise together again soon....

For years we traveled with the large & heavy nebulizer.

 

Then I found a website called just nebulizers, and ordered a battery operated one.

 

It is a little pricey, but I wish I had found this years ago! DH and DS both love it, and feel like it delivers medicine just as well if not better than the big machine. Also great when needed for long road trips (no need for adaptors / cords in the car) or trips to amusement parks, excursions off the ship, power outages, etc. Check it out!
