Princess1963 Posted February 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I will be on the Epic in a studio cabin. Is there a plug in close near the bed or do I need to bring a extension cord. Any ideas would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted February 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Always bring an extension cord! Always good to have and they don't take up much room, however, if you forget to bring, go to guest services and they will likely have one for you... no guarantee though. Enjoy your cruise, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted February 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Always travel with an extension cord. There is usually no power anywhere near the bed (except in suites). We do a half dozen NCL cruises a year and carry multiple extension cords and have never had them confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal54 Posted February 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This thread reminded me to contact my TA so she can call NCL to order the distilled water & ext. cord for our upcoming cruise. NCL told my TA no problem with the water but said we should bring our own 4' cord. We sailed on NCL in Dec. on the Gem, they supplied us with a cord. This time we will be on the Sky.

Baxter1234 Posted February 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just ask the room steward for one. We had called in and requested one ahead of time, but it wasn't there. Just asked for both an extension cord and distilled water for the CPAP machine and it was in the room by dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyb69 Posted February 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2017 We also asked our TA this week to request distilled water and extension cord and were told the water was ok but we would need to bring our own extension cord. All other ships we have travelled on have provided this for us. It's all extra weight/room in the case. As long as my DH doesn't think I will be cutting back on shoes to make room ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Island Cruiser Posted February 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We have done two - 14 day cruises in the past 4 months - we always request both a extension cord and distilled water for my husband's machine. On our Dawn cruise both were in the cabin upon arrival, our our recent Breakaway trip they were not there, but our wonderful cabin Steward made sure we had them by the time we got back from dinner.

jmboese Posted March 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Do cruise ships charge you for the distilled water? Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyguy31 Posted March 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2017 NCL does not charge for distilled water. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyguy31 Posted March 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Do not risk that the Steward will have an extension cord. We always carry a 12 foot in the cpap bag. We take a 2 wire cord since our cpap dont have a ground. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted March 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Do cruise ships charge you for the distilled water? Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk You have to call the access desk at least 2 weeks before your cruise to request (866-584-9756) free distilled water for your CPAP machine.

As long as my DH doesn't think I will be cutting back on shoes to make room ;) A CPAP is medical equipment so does not count as carryon or personal item so the case is not part of weight limit so long as nothing else is packed in it other than what the CPAP needs. Therefore, no problem about adding in an extension cord. Are you putting your shoes in the CPAP case?? If so the case is no longer considered a free carryon if they see the contents. It will count either as a carryon or a personal item then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted March 11, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just bring your own 15' extension cord without surge protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you clean his CPAP? We use the SoClean sanitizing machine but don't want to take it with us. We haven't worried about cleaning the CPAP on 7 day cruises but our upcoming one is 13 nights plus time afterwards in Europe. He was just planning on using the "dry" attachment but if there's an easy way to keep it clean when using the water I'd love to know about it. Thanks!

Since my last cruise, I've been put on a CPAP and was wondering about the distilled water and power outlet issues, so thanks! My doc has always told me NOT to use the sanitizing machines; they apparently adversely impact the life of the CPAP unit and aren't FDA approved. I find washing out the tubing to be a pain, so I wish there were a different alternative, but that's what I've been doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
