Rare ozdevil Posted March 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2023 it my partners and my 1st ever cruise unless you call the Spirit of Tasmania a cruise lol we both have sleep apnea and have cpap machines 1 can we bring Distilled water on board with us? 2 what things are we likely to run into trying to plug our machines in prepared to purchase a Powerboard(if allowed with extension leads if need be to plug these 2 devices in) 3 would it be much easier to buy a powerbank for 1 cpap device and plug the other 1 into 240v if possible or 2 powerbanks and charge up during the day via 240 with a powerboard or double adapter? for me i cant afford to live with out my cpap without it i am likely to go walkabout stark naked asking for sugar to some poor unfortunate persons room or if i survive that i will be wanting to fall asleep all day and never leave the cabin day or night The last time i Slept without the cpa i ended up at 2am in the morning going to get the lawn mower and started to cut the old ladies front lawn next door with my mrs telling me i cant do her lawn yet you are waking up the neighbours so i do not wish to have this happen on a cruise i may just happen to take control of the ship and steer us in to trouble waters lol We are not doing this until April next year and only a short cruise to Morton island Any advice from others with Cpap ? Thankyou in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanny Posted March 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hi What ship are you going on.? Just off Pacific Explorer and hubby has cpap machine..We took a powerboard one WITHOUTSURGE PROTECTION. as they aren't allowed and an extension cord we had 1 Australian power point. He always uses boiled water which you can get from cabin steward. Also on P&O ships you can't even take unopened bottle water has to be in cans. Also think it depends on what company ship you are going on. Hope this helps . Regards,Zanny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted March 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) It depends on which cruise line you will be travelling with. I know that Princess will supply you with distilled water for use in your CPAP machines. You just have to apply under the medical section. On most cruise ships you cannot take a power board that is surge protected. Obviously a ship is not 'earthed' the way a house is so a power surge to a power board that is surge protected can cause a fire. You can take extension cords and a double adapter or a power board that isn't surge protected. PS. Check if P&O will supply you with distilled water.

Rare arxcards Posted March 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Contact P&O and they will do the best they can to facilitate your medical needs. https://www.pocruises.com.au/faqs/things-to-know-before-you-go/how-do-i-advise-of-any-special-requests-including-medical-dietary-and-mobility-requirements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted March 30, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I've been on probably 5 cruises with a CPAP. It's super easy. They'll supply distilled water and an extension cable if you ask them on boarding day. Some lines have a form that you can fill out to advise of any medical requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
