Not a problem at all Amazon.com: Anker USB C Charger, 735 Charger (Nano II 65W), PPS 3-Port Fast Compact Foldable Wall Charger for MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, Galaxy S20/S10, Dell XPS 13, Note 20/10+, iPhone 13/Pro, Pixel, and More : Electronics I have an older model of that one and have never had an issue taking it. Couple that with a UK two pin adapter and you have plenty of plug in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did use the second outlet from time to time, but the one with the adapter was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use one of these on every cruise and have a 2 usb block that plugs into 1 outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pure" USB hubs, which can charge up to 7 or more devices, are allowed with a cord, since the power output is limited. My best solution is a plug adapter to adapt the 220v outlet to US 110v, then a "pure" USB hub for any electronics. This frees up any and all US110v outlets for things like hair dryers, or things that don't use a USB port. If absolutely necessary, bring a simple rubber "outlet splitter" that has one male plug and 3 female plugs. I’ve traveled with this many times and never an issue. NCl. RC.CC Princess.

Couple that with a UK two pin adapter and you have plenty of plug in places. I was thinking about the simple Type C adapter but then read that if you try to plug in a true 110v device (like a small fan) that it didn't convert it from the 220v Type C outlet and would burn up the fan motor. It seems many USB chargers may accept the 220v without issue so the simple adapter would work. Since I was spefically wanting to plug in a small fan next to the bed (that only had a Type C outlet), I got from Amazon a Power Voltage Converter by E-POLAR Step Down Converter EU/UK/AU/in/US Worldwide Plug Adapter which worked great. It may have been overkill, but it did have 2 power outlets and 3 USB charging ports, so it did provide additional outlets as well. Very small/compact, no surge suppresser, and had no issues. Because the initial short power cord was a "normal" US Type A plug, I can also use it as a small charging station around the house if I needed.

The male plug doesn't swivel and I'm not sure how much room there is between the actual electric outlet and the desk. So, I purchased this last night (I've been wanting one of these for a while anyway): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KXSJ3Z6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got it today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was on RCCL We always bring at least one fan, usually two. I have one a mini "tower" fan that's about 15" tall. My wife has one that clips on to things. Never had a problem bringing these onboard, although I've always worried that someone might see my tower fan and think it's a space heater.

villager70 Posted October 19, 2022 Author #38 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thanks to all for your responses. Got one on amazon for $.9.99 that replaces old 3 plug converter with plugs and 2 charging ports. Just to advise on cruises the last three weeks passed the confiscated table leaving 18 in Fort lauderdale and Canaveral #1 and many corded units confiscated. Looked like anything with a cord and all surge protectors taken if they were able to see them at checkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
