USB Tower Chargers

[bayportkat]

I know extension cords are not allowed.  Can anyone tell me if a USB tower falls in the category of extension cords?  Also, what about a plug (no cord) with 3 USB ports? Packing for a dual vacation (land and then cruise) with a variety of electronics to charge and don't want to have my luggage held if I can avoid it.

Thanks!

No problem with this one I had

i have a plug with 4 usb ports, never had a problem, and i bring it every cruise.

I honestly didn’t realize extension cords were a no no and brought them on multiple cruises with no problem. Now with the well placed outlets, I just bring the usb multiple port things and haven’t had a problem. I don’t think you’d have a problem with a usb tower

I had a Belkin travel swivel charger that I've taken on dozens of cruises, and just recently realized that it had surge protection. It was never confiscated, and I know now not to take it on cruises anymore.

The issue is extension cords or any device with a surge protector not a plain extension cord.  I bring a block but it does not have a surge protector.

Maybe someone can show me where on the U.S. Royal Caribbean website says Surge Protectors/Suppressers are prohibited.  

 

There are several people that say that they have had them confiscated at the embarkation terminal.  But, I just can't find it in official writings.  Someone once, in another forum showed a link to it but it was actually Australian RCCL site, not a US RCCL site.  

 

I've had 120v outlet block with surge suppresser on it on every cruise, that includes two cruise lines, I've been on with no problem.

This page doesn't mention surge suppressers/protectors at all.

Note, it is from the Australian site, not U.S.

That's the exact same link I posted above. There is no mention of Surge Suppresser/protector.

I discussed a few different options in this post today.

All of these are acceptable on Royal.
