We take less stuff. 

But then without this where would I plug in my Crock Pot?

This is what I bought.  I put it in my suitcase.  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.

I only had two places to plug in and I found the adapter to be the one I used primarily.  I did use the second outlet from time to time, but the one with the adapter was enough.

I've gotten this aboard, no problems so far.

 

It’s important to say non surge l have used this model on several cruises and at home it works great and is allowed

I agree with you that this should be OK... but I recently had this confiscated on Royal or Celebrity at check in :-0 Doesn't get much simpler than this!

 

We use one of these on every cruise and have a 2 usb block that plugs into 1 outlet.

This is correct.  RCI does not allow anything with a cord and power outlets.  "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.

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.

Never really had a need for that many plug ports.

I'm more concerned about its size.  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):

Someone mentioned a small fan…l read that under special needs you could request a fan. 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.

This is what we use because it plugs into the European receptical.

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.
