Rare shof515 Posted Wednesday at 07:52 PM #52 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:52 PM on older ships that only have 1 us plug, are there any adapters that you can use to plug in more in more then one device without using the euro adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasVic14 Posted Wednesday at 11:05 PM #55 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:05 PM Until it's clarified by actual experiences, as I read it, these should be allowed. I know it's inconvenient to not have a USB or electical outlet adjacent to the bed (as found on most older ships), I plan on keeping my phone on the night stand plugged into a portable battery pack if needed.

Almost every 120V *thing* you could bring on a ship are not allowed anyway. Can't bring a coffee maker, can't bring a hair dryer, etc. What are you powering? If it's electronics, you should check and see if it can run on 220V- as almost all electronics transformers can run 220V as well as 120. So you just need the adaptor plug.

Correct, this is not a multi-outlet adapter since it has no outlets. Just USB connectors. The change was to close a loophole with people bringing power strips which weren't technically "power strips" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntornadox Posted yesterday at 12:18 AM #59 Share Posted yesterday at 12:18 AM I’ve been a loyal Royal cruiser for some time and while I understand the why, I find it very crappy of them to ban these whenever they’ve ignored updating cabins on their older ships. The guest shouldn’t be inconvenienced due to their lack of planning or updating of ships to be compatible with the modern traveler. May be an unpopular opinion here but it needed to be said. Royal is notorious for building fleets of new vessels while ignoring their older ones, especially the cabins. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal is notorious for building fleets of new vessels while ignoring their older ones, especially the cabins. It's be quite impractical to try to add outlets to every cabin due to their modular nature. Plus, it's easy to have enough outlets. Just buy a european adapter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal is notorious for building fleets of new vessels while ignoring their older ones, especially the cabins. A modern traveler has a phone, tablet, computer, and camera that they need charged- what else? And many new computers can charge from a USB-C outlet. Still- all of those use a transformer system, and I have not yet seen a modern charger system that can't deal with 220V. Meaning there are two extra outlets if you buy a couple of $5 converters. And multiple outlet USB blocks have been around a long time- We've used a 4 USB thing for about a decade (since we got a smartphone). I'm not aware of anything "modern" that uses 120V directly- most of those are old things like hair dryers, curlers, etc. Most of which are not allowed on ships. I get that you think that they should update the old rooms, but I don't think that's very feasible considering how they are built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasukkie Posted yesterday at 01:06 PM #68 Share Posted yesterday at 01:06 PM How about a plug-in that just has multiple type C/USB ports? That would take care of the big need for most people which is charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scurvy Pirate Posted yesterday at 01:25 PM #70 Share Posted yesterday at 01:25 PM Are the extension cords provided by RCI to, for example CPAP users, have multi plugs? If so, are those going to no longer be provided? If the concern is that the ships outlet may not be able to maintain the power load (as opposed to a bad cord), then wouldn't this also apply to the RCI supplied cords? If the RCI cords are multi plug, why just not ask RCI special services for one if you really need extra outlets. Of course, this could be a problem if thousands of rooms all ask for one since they can no longer bring their own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfish65 Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM #75 Share Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM IMO this is a very minor thing that Y**T**e cruise channels are blowing out of proportion to get more views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
