QM2, Power outlets by the bedside

[Denverbri69]

Traveling in a Q7 category cabin. Is there a power outlet by the bed for 'medical' device? Or in reasonable proximity that a extension cord would work?

No idea, but have your booking person contact the Ship/Butler to liaise with Stateroom Services, to ensure all your requirements are met.  There should be no problem, as you are sailing Cunard.

I don't remember any of the "Q's" having power outlets at the bedside. You will probably require an extension lead.

No the bedside tables do not have power outlets.

I found behind the bedside units the plug sockets are some sort of “industrial”/non standard type

To use my cpap machine I bring an extension cord/lead and plug in by the desk and take the side of the bed closest to that

The bedside tables have no outlets, but if you move the bed from the wall, if I remember correctly, the bedside lights are plugged in there, and again from memory they were UK sockets.

 

It has been a few years since I was on a Cunard ship, but I am sure that would not have changed.

Because of Covid regulations I have heard that the ship might be prohibiting passengers with a CPAP from boarding. The rule of not asking for permission but asking for forgiveness might apply here.

CPAP machines with an added humidifier would be the only risk with regards to covid spread, and a negative test will remove even that danger. As a CPAP user I am interested where you heard this?

Could it be that the conditions requiring you to need breathing assistance while sleeping would be a contraindication for traveling by ship while COVID is still around.

On another thread there was a post of the medical requirements that specifically said that CPAP machines are OK, but those on supplemental oxygen would not be allowed.   

I suspect these requirements will be changing frequently as Covid evolves.
