Cjonthesea Posted January 4 #1 Share Posted January 4 Some reviews reported Epic has no USB outlets and minimal AC sockets in an inconvenient location. Has that been improved during refurbishment? Are there power outlets near beds? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted January 5 #2 Share Posted January 5 The answers seem to be no I keep a couple of these and multiple USB adapters along with some 220V USB adapters like these I bring them along no matter the ship I run one extension to one side of the bed then the other over to the other side so we can charge all of our electronics. not very expensive and something we just keep in our bags, comes in handy for hotels and other places too.

Rare mking8288 Posted January 5 #3 Share Posted January 5 Insofar as Epic's balcony cabins, there are 4 outlets (excluding the low amp. "shaver" only 110v outlet next to the vanity mirror by the sink) two are 110 volts and two 220 volts - bring 2 EU 2-pins adapter as we do, and you will have 4 direct access outlet, more if you use a power tap or mini (non-surge protected) power strip or extension. Its location is cleverly hidden, look under the desk/dresser table, near the mini-refrigerator on top of a storage shelf - it's basically directly across from the bed (P.S. pull the bed frame to fully extend the mattress, or else, anyone over 5' 8" to 10" might end up with his/her feet hanging over the bed ... it does reduce the usable walk space to/from the balcony ... ditto for the convertible sofa/bed if there is a 3rd person sharing or using it to sleep - pull it out sideway) There are zero outlets (none that we can find) near the headboard/storage panels, etc. There are no USB outlets whatsoever ... the Prima has bedside USB, rated at 1.5 amp only, useless - IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 5 #4 Share Posted January 5 From a cybersecurity perspective, you should never, ever use an USB outlet that you don’t personally own. Not in a mall. Not in an airport, not on a plane, not on a cruise ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardwlw Posted January 14 #8 Share Posted January 14 So ok to bring extension cord on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted January 15 #9 Share Posted January 15 Yes pretty much any extension cord is OK surge protectors are not, so 2 prong cords should not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
