HAL Eurodam

Sailing in May on the Eurodam to Alaska and am wondering if Holland America allows power strips and if there are ample outlets in the cabins?

 

Any help is appreciated thanks

My understanding is power strips are OK but anything with a surge protector is not allowed.

What's the issue with power strips?

Misses with the electrical system. One of the Cruise line employees has explained it a couple of times.

We have requested an extension cord from our cabin steward and have received a power strip... the kind without a surge suppressor.

No, there are not ample outlets. For us we can usually do ok with just a triple tap, but we also bring a European adapter so we can use the European style plug also, but only for electronics that are approved for 240v. m--

Hi, DH uses a CPAP machine. I was thinking an extension cord would be better, since the cord is longer. But all I have been reading is about Power Steips. You think a good extension cord would be okay?

We were on the Eurodam over Christmas. Despite a few postings saying they had added plugs by the bed, we needed an extension cord to the outlets by the desk. A couple of years ago, on a Westerdam Alaska cruise, our cabin steward gave me a long heavy extension cord that worked fine for me and my CPAP (I just rolled it up and stowed it every morning). This time, I went to the front desk upon embarking and requested both an extension cord and distilled water. They delivered a power strip, which I thought would be too short, but together with the CPAP cord, worked just fine. Not tripping over the cords at night just adds another challenge to the sailing adventure.

Plenty of USB ports on both night stands and the desk.

 

I had to request an extension cord/power strip last September to be able to use my CPAP machine - plugged it into the outlet on the upper desk shelf where the TV used to be. I received a power strip with, IIRC, a 5-6 foot cord.

 

The cord ran along the base of the balcony window/door and ended up by the couch where I was able to plug in my machine. This was in a verandah room
