A few basic questions on packing?

[jensplace]

I have searched all over Carnival's website and can't find this--half the links I get lead to error pages!

 

1. Are toiletries provided in the cabins? Shampoo, conditioner, soap?

 

2. I have read about bringing an "approved" power strip. What would make one approved? I have tons at home but I don't know which one to pack.

Shampoo. Shower gel and hand soap is provided. Yes, bring an approved power strip, you'll need it.

There are shampoo and shower soap dispensers. However, the quality is often discussed here on CC. Some people prefer to bring their own.

 

I've never brought a power strip, so I can't help you with that question.

IMO their soap and shampoo and shower gel dry out my skin. I'd bring my own

Are there any power strip restrictions? I know I need to bring one (my son has autism, so lots of devices travel with us), but what makes one "approved"?

 

Thanks for the toiletry info.

It can't have a surge protector. I might get one of these next time, though I'd worry it might not fit in a particular outlet.

 

This one is great! You can turn the plug around 360 degrees so it fits anywhere. This is a great one for traveling.

This one gets posted every "power strip" thread and every time it gets repeated that's it's not allowed because it's a surge protector.

If you go to guest services they will provide a power supply for you if you tell them you have a medical need. We get one for my wife's cpap machine.

It's more a sanity need. My son can function without a device, but everyone in the world is happier when he has one.

Power strips with surge protectors are not permitted, and may be confiscated. How to tell if one has a surge protector? Take a look at it. It will be clearly marked (somewhere on it) if it has a surge protector. The power strip you bring doesn't have to be brand new, but it does have to be in good condition. No frayed wires, no damaged case, etc. Just use common sense.

Oh don't I know that feeling. Cruising with my autistic daughter (she has Asperger) for the first time this summer. We paid to have her best friend join us so we would have some peace.
