Propro Posted October 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Oasis of the Seas check in today and I had a power strip in my carry on. It wasn't a surge protector, just a strip. It was spottted by x-ray and they told me I couldn't bring any power strip or extension cord on the ship since they claim it's a fire hazard. They tagged it and gave me a receipt so I can claim it after the cruise. Not enough outlets in this room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyCapt Posted October 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Try packing in Checked luggage next cruise....always works for us Our power strip was confiscated from our checked luggage on Serenade earlier this year. They said it was recently added to the banned list of items. I had to go down to the room to identify it and get a receipt for it. They had it for me when I walked off the ship last day. It had always made it through in checked luggage previously. Not anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted October 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I like seeing the table of confiscated items waiting for people at the end of the cruise. My favorite was seeing the waffle maker when getting off of Jewel in San Juan in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted October 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 1, 2016 This must have been a new rule. I took a power strip on with me onto the Grandeur on August 17th. No problems. I had it in my carryon luggage. Sorry to hear that they are not allowed any longer. They are a lot easier to use than the plugs in the cabin and, sometimes, you need extra plugs to charge up your cameras and phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted October 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Sorry this happened. ...just curious though. I can think of at least 4 outlets in the cabin. How many things do you need plugged in at any one given time? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellim1960 Posted October 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Now some models of Samsung phones are not allowed onboard. I read where someone was using it for photos only but nope still not allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many things do you need plugged in at any one given time? :confused: I only saw 3 together on the desk and that won't work for our 3 devices since one has an oversized adapter. I just found the plug under the table so we are set. I don't see one near the bed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found the plug under the table so we are set. I don't see one near the bed though. Oasis definitely has a plug near the bed, they finally put one there for all those CPAP users. I think it is a little hidden by the mattress. It could also be a little hidden depending if you have the beds together or separated. Keep looking, it is there!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungee Posted October 1, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 1, 2016 On Oasis we had a plug behind the mattress for the CPAT machine. Our cabin attendant hooked up the machine while we were at supper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken that one on two RCCL (including Oasis) and one CCL without an issue. Going on Allure in 29 days so will let you know if it makes it.

xlxo Posted October 1, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Went to Home Depot and got myself a cheap 3 or 6 outlet tap. Cheaper than a powerbar, less luggage space and lighter. Sent from my STV100-3 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Belkin also has a surge protector which means it's not safe for marine use. At least that's what I've read on CC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
