yvrbos Posted February 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2020 A number of posters have suggested bringing a power strip in order to increase the number of outlets that are available. I will have my phone, my iPad, my apple watch and my sister will bring the same. Will there be enough outlets? I would rather not pack a power strip. I have enough to pack!

MEcruzr Posted February 21, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I don't bring a power strip... I bring a splitter. You need something that does NOT have a surge protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durberville Posted February 21, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2020 No power strips across the board on Celebrity? I was under the impression that small ones were okay if they don’t have surge protectors. (I’m sailing on the Infinity next week and looks to me like that ship only has a couple of outlets in the cabin...yikes!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONT-CA Posted February 21, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2020 As there are two lamps per room, the outlets on the marble base double giving you a total of six regular 110V outlets and six USB ports per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted February 21, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Power cubes (no cords) seem to be allowed but power strips are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama4cruisin Posted February 21, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I also take a European adaptor to plug into that outlet, which provides another outlet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 22, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I have a couple of these and they work great - Also have the 220 2 pin version to use the 220 socket. Never have a problem bring them aboard. Good news - If you are sailing on Summit you probably don't need one as in addition to the two at the vanity and 2 in the lamp there is one (sometimes) on the phone. The one on the TV is also active when TV turned on. Edited February 22, 2020 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2travel90266 Posted February 22, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I had a power strip without a surge supressor taken away on Royal Cab. I got to wait an hour to get it back after my cruise. Now I carry one of these with my other plug addapters and have not had an issue. They can be bought for $5 at any hardware store and are lighter than the strips to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durberville Posted February 22, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Okay! Thanks for the info....I’ll leave my wee power strip at home. I do have a few of those multi plug thingies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnyfyr Posted February 22, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2020 There are more power outlets than there were before the refurb, thankfully! I had my power strip taken away on our Summit cruise last July, which was new for me as I'd packed it in my bag (but never used it) on another X cruise a few months prior to that. I've since purchased this little donut style power bar after seeing a post from someone else on these forums saying they've never had an issue taking it on an X cruise: USB Power Bar It does not have a surge protector. The box says 'no surge' so I'm going to leave it in there and hope for the best on our next X cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to remember to keep you posted! I used it at a hotel last week and my only complaint is that the cord is REALLY short. The only accessible plug was on a wall near the floor, so I had to leave it kinda dangling from the wall while my phone charged. It got the job done though! Hubby and I will still bring our little plug in USB charges so at least if our donut does get confiscated, we'll still be able to charge our phones.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 23, 2020 #17 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I always get an extension cord. I don't need it for a medical device but like to use my PC while sitting on the Sofa and there usually aren't any plugs near by. I always bring along the multiport USB connectors - I have them in UK, Continental and US versions. I guess I have to pick up one for Australia as we will be staying with friends for a week after our December cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvrbos Posted February 23, 2020 Author #18 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thank you everyone. I had intended on bringing a surge protector, now know that I shouldn’t. I will look for one of those plug things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
