BanburyBlue Posted July 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi all, First time cruise with RCI (been on P&O and Cunard before). UK based. I read yesterday that RCI do not allow you to take electrical extension leads on board - is this true? Assuming it is true, what power sockets are in the cabins and are they easy to access? Ta.

IzznOll17 Posted July 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi all, First time cruise with RCI (been on P&O and Cunard before). UK based. I read yesterday that RCI do not allow you to take electrical extension leads on board - is this true? Assuming it is true, what power sockets are in the cabins and are they easy to access? Ta. IIRC there's only a couple of sockets and they're US & Euro types! I've used the cube style travel adaptors for a number of years now that pretty much fit any plug in whichever way you need it to! They have usb on them too? I've known of people who still take extension leads on board and hide them when not in the cabin, but it's a safety issue and it's fairly easy to use said adaptors like I say! Amazon sell them and IMO they're well worth the investment! New Universal Travel Adapter Electric Plugs Sockets Converter Uk/EU/US/AU with Dual USB Charging 2.4A LED Power Indicator Electric Plugs UK EU US AU International Travel Plug Adaptor Charge (Orange) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071KP67LB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YsZwBb4B51F24 There's plenty of choice, but you get the idea I'm sure? Ps .. enjoy Royal Caribbean - never done Cunard, but a few on P&O and i doubt I'll go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodgem Posted July 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2018 From what I can remember there is 3 plugs between the mirror and the desk and you will need an adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted July 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2018 2x USA plugs and 1x Euro plug on each dresser. The Euro plug has more power for our UK appliances. The kettle in the room uses the Euro plug There is also a handy USB port in the side of the new telephones by the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted July 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2018 There is also a handy USB port in the side of the new telephones by the bed. Is this true on all ships? I've never noticed this so either the ships I've cruised have not yet received the new telephones or I didn't know and never noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyBlue Posted July 28, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi, Thanks all. So no U.K. style sockets? And how do people get extension leads on board - aren’t all bags scanned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi, Thanks all. So no U.K. style sockets? And how do people get extension leads on board - aren’t all bags scanned? Correct, no UK sockets, only US and Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted July 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2018 it Seems Royal has a new no extension cord policy that has been discussed in several threads Here is one: Originally posted bychengkp75 Obviously, you never read the link you posted in post #10, copied here: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/q...onboard-policy that says: "Prohibited Items" "Electrical Extension Cords" My plan is to bring these three items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
