I know people are saying "multi USB" are still OK but USB is still a plug/outlet so presumably nothing would be OK. I'm hoping this is just clarification of the rules we all know (no extension cords, no surge protection) RCL probably won't clarify I think they don't mind some confusion. I think real world reports will clarify somewhat. Edited Thursday at 06:04 PM by Charles4515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters what the security guard thinks, and without clear instruction or photos from RCL either one of us could have materials confiscated. Again I'm hoping this is just a website thing that is not going to affect the real world. I know the difference between a plug and a port. I believe RCL does too. They always refer to plugs. They have never prohibited ports. In any case I won't have devices confiscated because I don't use the multiplugs or multiports anymore. I use 3x1 MagSafe and Qi2 chargers.

I always cruise with one or more of these power blocks that convert EU outlets to US outlets, plus some additional USB ports: I think that’s ok. There’s only one place for the plug not multiple plug sockets in one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t be banned. It’s actual Multi socket ones with usb they don’t like. That one is only one socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMSDingy Posted Thursday at 08:25 PM #32 Share Posted Thursday at 08:25 PM (edited) On our past Princess cruise, I brought his onboard because, as per the manufacturer, it was cruise approved. Edited Thursday at 08:26 PM by HMSDingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe that would be allowed under the new Royal Caribbean rules. We will have to wait and see if other cruiselines follow suit on their new restrictions.

SausPud Posted yesterday at 09:47 AM #39 Share Posted yesterday at 09:47 AM I think this all comes from Royal Caribbean's lovely new mega-ship Utopia of the Seas having a power outage and the aircon not working and lifts (elevators) stuck without power. Maybe the new design of these mega-ships can't support that many extra outlets being used. The older ships that have fewer outlets should be fine but a new modern ship should have USB sockets by the bed, on the table and plug sockets for all nations (UK, USA, Europe) and then we wouldn't need to bring extra adapters with us. I saw one cruise line that had a refit of the cabins and they put in a plug socket that had all three types in one socket. Simple switch of the panel to upgrade to this type. That should become the normal for all cabins, but that will take time (and money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollie Posted 23 hours ago #40 Share Posted 23 hours ago My DW and I both use CPAP's, so need an outlet on each side of the bed. I the past the multi outlet devise serve us well. Now we'll need an extension cord run across the floor. Rollie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
