warmwinds Posted June 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2017 My husband will bring his Fitbit if there's a way to charge it up, otherwise no. It doesn't need to be one on the tv for those devices, can be in the base of a lamp, etc...just need to know if there are any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted June 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I don't know if there are any actual USB charges, but you can always bring a USB to wall outlet plug; most phone cords use those now anyway Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted June 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2017 No USB charging outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted June 4, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That's what we were afraid of....but thanks. (we don't have one of those phone cords that you mentioned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted June 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2017 You can buy a charger on Amazon or at your nearest electronics or computer store for under $10: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-UBP-Universal-Portable-Technology/dp/B01M0W3WNF/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1496608141&sr=8-4&keywords=usb+wall+charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted June 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That's what we were afraid of....but thanks. (we don't have one of those phone cords that you mentioned). I've gotten one of those USB to wall ports thrown in with just about every electronic I've purchased in the past 5 years - but as mentioned, no reason not to bring the fitbit. You can get one pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budbo Posted June 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I plugged mine into the tv USB to charge it.....and it messed up the tv. Engineering came up to fix the tv and all they had to do was unplug my USB. Oops! (Actually that was on the Solstice, but probably the same problem. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted June 16, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted June 16, 2017 We just had another idea...wouldn't the computers in the internet center have the usb ports? What would stop you from plugging something in to charge while you were using the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarps14 Posted June 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Even the dollar stores carry the USB converter plugs now. Also, if you have any kind of cellphone at all, you have a USB converter plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted July 10, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted July 10, 2017 For anyone interested, just got off the Summit and had no trouble using the USB ports in the back of the computers in the iLounge. They were not "blocked", except 2 out of 3 had the wires from the computer itself. There was one free one, and I asked if I could use it to charge up the Fitbit..."of course" was the answer, except I was asked to actually be there while it was charging and not to leave it. So dribs and drabs of charging was enough to keep it going for the duration. YMMV on other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
