mrsderitis Posted February 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hi, My husband is bringing a CPAP machine with us next week on Breakaway. Do we have to notify NCL that we're bringing this device? He does not need the distilled water, and will likely bring his own extension cord to use the machine. Anyone with experience, can you help me out? Just want to make sure all details are handled. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falckon Posted February 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2019 If you don't need distilled water, there is no need to notify the access desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted February 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2019 No need at all, even if you need distilled water. Just ask the steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carry a 6' and 12' light weight extension cord to get from the desk to the bedside. We never carry a humidifier when on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare misguy Posted February 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I just came back from 10 days on the Breakaway, I just brought a 12' 3 outlet extension cord and that worked like a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted February 10, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I use CPAP, and have never had to notify NCL. I bring my own 15' extension cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumblew467 Posted February 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I know there was a post in the past regarding the extension cord--that it had to be a certain one. without surge protector. Cruise ships recently implemented rules against surge protectors because they can cause problems with the onboard electrical system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to bring your own distilled water, Just call the access desk and they provide the water for you . 1-866-584-9756 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you desire to bring your own distilled water than you are required to receive PRIOR permission from NCL by emailing accessdesk@ncl.com otherwise it will be confiscated at the port. As others have said multiple times in this thread you may ask your TA, NCL PCC or steward for distilled water to be provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have the extension cords on board but it is 1st come to get them since they have a limited supply. Enjoy your cruise. My husband has one too. So I just call that number and they have always supplied it at no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always call or email the access desk to request distilled water if he is flying to the port of departure and to have the special designation listed on the cruise docs so that security doesn't confiscate any distilled water he may bring on with him. They put a water bottle symbol on your docs if you are allowed to bring on certain liquids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephmz Posted February 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Never asked access desk for distilled water. Your room steward will bring it, if asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
