ASMTCF Posted June 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I plan to buy a rice cooker in Japan, then board the cruise. The brand new electrical rice cooker is in a box. I won't open the box for the whole cruise. Can I bring an electrical rice cooker to cruise ship? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowandaUK Posted June 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2023 You can take it onboard but Celebrity will take it off you and keep it safe until you disembark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostchild Posted June 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Is it a Zojirushi one? We can't live without our Zojirushi rice cooker and water boiler LOL. Those 2 items are stock appliances in houses of every single relative we got. We got them from Amazon though, not Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted June 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I would imagine the op already thought of this…Will it take up too much room in their luggage and at worse, cause them pay additional baggage fees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted June 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Based on the title I thought the OP was wanting to cook their own rice based on a recent thread slamming the food. 2 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be prepared for it to be taken from you upon boarding and then returned to you at the end of your cruise. On the other I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to take it to your cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually electrical appliances like to be +- 10% in voltage , you are looking at 20% difference it could burn out the controls and heating element sooner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderlust58 Posted June 1, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Is it 110 or 220 v or does it change automatically like electronics do? If it's not the same as your electricity current, you're asking for trouble. Also, if you do buy it, are you going to replace the plug or use an adapter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also frequency... 50Hz is used in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and most countries in South America. Some examples of countries using 50Hz include the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, India, South Africa, and Brazil 60Hz is the standard frequency used in North America, Central America, parts of South America (such as Colombia and Ecuador), Japan, and some Caribbean countries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, all rice cookers that I know of are built for a specific voltage. Most that I have seen are 110/120 but there are 220v rice cookers out there. I am sure that the OP is in the know about this. BTW, some really nice rice cookers can set you back over $1000. Edited June 1, 2023 by mahdnc 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cooker will be placed in storage and most likely will be placed on a large table upon leaving the ship with items that have been confiscated. These include irons, crockpots, knives, swords, handcuffs, coffee makers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm sure most know, alcohol is handled differently than other contraband as they deliver it on the last day. Most of those items you see on the contraband desk were from people who carried on as the embarkation terminal XRay folks seem to get just about anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
