Zaandam: Plugs near the bed?

Each of us use a CPAP and we will be cruising on the Zaandam next July for a 25 day cruise. We will be staying in an Ocean view cabin. How many plugs are located near the bed?  Will we be able to keep the bed as a Queen size or should we plan to seperate them into twins in order to access any plugs?

Or, how many extension cords should we bring?

Unfortunately, there are no outlets by the beds.  Not even USB on Zaandam.  The only outlets are at the dressing table - one 115 V outlet (North American type) and one 250 V outlet (European type).  I believe the ship can provide cords (that way, they have control of quality, etc. to ensure safety).  One thing that is definitely not allowed is any type of cord/power strip that has surge protection  built in since they are not compatible with the the way the ship’s electrical system is grounded.

Not a bad idea to tell HAL (or if you have a TA, let them do it) that you will need an extension cord for your CPAP machine so they don't run out.  The one I have now is only about five or six feet (for the fridge I rented) and will not make it to the bedside tables (I am in an oceanview).  If your machine does not have about a six foot cord, you might need two extensions, unless HAL has some longer ones.
