cigar616 Posted June 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I have read that there are only 2 electrical outlets with charging available in rooms.If so how can I charge multiple devices in a charger or do I just have to use what’s available?

We take a non surge protected multi outlet extender. It has three extra plug outlets and three usb ports. We’ve never had any trouble when using it with multiple items plugged in (travel clock, curling iron, phones). Some ships have a usb port right in the table lamps.

mtnesterz Posted June 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2023 If you currently need to charge multiple devices at home, then you certainly own a hub to charge them. You may bring this with you so long as it is not surge protected. You show as Florida, so assume you have non-polarized US type A 110v 60HZ plugs. If your plugs have one prong larger than the other, or a U-ground, that won't work on Princess ships. We use a USB 3.0 to 4 outlet USB hub plugged in at the table lamp. It has to be added that some would say a vacation is a good time to disconnect from technology. Not disagreeing, but we have not been able to do this. Your mileage may vary.

theloo Posted June 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Will all cabins (Emerald & Crown) have at least 2 usable plug outlets? At home, I normally charge 4-5 devices on 2 plugs (some during the day and some at night), so I can make do with 2 plugs, even if one is in the bathroom. If I'm limited to 1 plug for any reason (I've seen some plugs blocked by switches and other equipment), I will need a hub of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outlet in the bathroom says for shavers only , in my opinion useless for any other sort of the charging device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted June 19, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Don't forget that if you happen to need a CPAP that there is always a "hidden" European style 2 prong 220 volt socket behind one of the beds. This could conceivably be used as another source of power for devices that can handle dual voltage. As far as USB charging...we use this in cabins that don't have direct USB ports: Edited June 19, 2023 by Rick&Jeannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirclean Posted June 20, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2023 i put my CPAP on the floor, or some of the end tables have a shelf space followed by drawers. Also, on the older ships that used to have the picture tube TVs (not flat screens), there are plugs where the TVs used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine usually will fit on the nightstand, in front of the lamp, or maybe positioned sideways beside the lamp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that @mtnesterz was referring to the sockets in the bathroom that is for use with electric shavers. I have used this device in multiple Princess cabins to expand the number of plug sockets. In a balcony cabin it plugs into the socket on the desk or the socket in the corner behind where the TV used to be positioned. It allows me to plug in four devices. As you can see, it has a three-prong plug. It folds up very nicely and can be easily stashed into a small space in a suitcase. One of the things I plug into this device is this USB port, and with it we can charge cell phones, cameras and tablets. Obviously, I bought these devices before the availability of the newer devices that integrate a plug expander and a USB hub, such as the one that I linked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted June 22, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 22, 2023 This is what I had on the Crown Princess in a minisuite. There was also an outlet behind the televisions on the minisuite. It was difficult to plug in 2 items here (near the desk). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
