Northumberland Posted September 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2018 FYI. Had seen some posts regarding RCCL disallowing power bars of any kind. So, I enquired with them as we are booked on a cruise in March. They responded that power bars are not allowed. Doesn't seem to matter what type they are.

Clarea Posted September 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Correct, they are concerned about devices with surge protectors, and it seems some security people have chosen to confiscate all power devices, notwithstanding whether they have surge protection or not.

It should not be taken onto a ship even if they do miss it and let it on. Edited September 7, 2018 by sft429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeGal Posted September 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Ok, I thought you were talking about the kind you eat. I thought this is a new low!!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havingfun2010 Posted September 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I never found a need for a power bar. The ships usually have 4 plugs (3 on old ships). Most electronics work on either 110 or 240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekkaW Posted September 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hopefully our resident Chief Engineer will see this, he has a good explanation of just how dangerous power strips are on a ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted September 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 7, 2018 LOL- I jumped into this thread because I thought it was regarding the edible power bars :) I was super curious as to why RCI would no longer allow me to bring my protein bars onboard. Looks like I wasn't the only confused person... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
