ShannonP Posted June 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Are there any electrical outlets near the beds (when they're pushed together as a king)? I'm wondering if I can just bring my tiny electric alarm clock instead of buying a travel alarm clock that I'll never use again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if I can just bring my tiny electric alarm clock instead of buying a travel alarm clock that I'll never use again?? I believe there are only two outlets in a cabin. One in the bathroom over the mirror (at least I think on most ships) and the other near the dressing table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted June 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Unless you're in a suite the answer is no. The electrical outlet is normally located just above the desk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithww Posted June 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2009 How far from the plug to the side of the bed. I have a CPAP and want to take as short of a cord as I can. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted June 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm assuming your machine has the typical 5-6 ft. cord. I'm thinking you should bring a 10 ft. cord, with ground, of course, to reach your bed. Bringinga power strip of some sort wouldn't hurt either.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithww Posted June 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I already bought two of those Belkin 3 port power adapters that have the two USB plugs. I just need a cord for the CPAP from there. With 6 of us going I really want 6 carry-ons and 2 large checked bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted June 12, 2009 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2009 An electric clock will not keep dependable time, as cycles may not be constant so clock will gain or lose time erratically. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have reported electric clocks run slow due to power fluctuations on ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmccoy Posted June 13, 2009 #12 Share Posted June 13, 2009 There are never enough outlets. On our last cruise there was only one and it was on the dressing table. We always bring a powerstrip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjm1cc Posted June 13, 2009 #13 Share Posted June 13, 2009 No. Take your cell phone. Set it for manual time zone changes. Good suggestion if your phone has the setting. Mine does not and the ships time zone and mine did not match a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxax Posted June 13, 2009 #14 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Wow...I never thought about the fluctuations in power. But that makes sense. Also, have to say that I never thought or think about an alarm clock either though. We just tend to wake up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a cellphone that automatically changes time? Unbelievable! Which make model is this? Maybe you can keep the phone from connecting to the network totally?

I'm wondering if I can just bring my tiny electric alarm clock instead of buying a travel alarm clock that I'll never use again?? Just set a wake up call thru the phone in your cabin. We used it everyday on our cruise and never had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using it to get up set the clock by the plug and just get up to turn it off since that is what you are using it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can keep the phone from connecting to the network totally? Cell phones don't automatically change time... the time changes as the phone registers with new cell phone towers as you travel. If you set your phone in 'airplane' mode it won't communicate at all and the time will remain the same. Most often the ship will remain on homeport time so adjustments will need to be made for ports... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to take pictures of EVERYTHING but I recently discovered that I'm lacking!! There's a thread about controlling temperature in the cabin and I have NEVER taken a shot of the air flow control on the ceiling!! FOO!! That's one for the list on the next cruise... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanuak Posted June 13, 2009 #22 Share Posted June 13, 2009 How far from the plug to the side of the bed. I have a CPAP and want to take as short of a cord as I can. TIA I take a surge protector with several outlets and a 6' extension cord. I duct tape the extension cord from the dressing table to the nightstand and connect my CPAP. In the mornings, I dump out the water, unplug the CPAP and place in the compartment under the night stand. There IS an outlet behind the bed, it doesn't look conventional, and I have never tried to figure out the plug type (Never thought to take a picture). I don't want to take any chances in blowing out my CPAP machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted June 13, 2009 #23 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Are there any electrical outlets near the beds (when they're pushed together as a king)? I'm wondering if I can just bring my tiny electric alarm clock instead of buying a travel alarm clock that I'll never use again?? There are two ways around this: 1) Put the alarm clock on the desk near the electrical outlet. Since the reason for an alarm clock is to wake you up, having to get up to turn it off should not be a problem. 2) Buy an extension cord. It should cost less than a travel alarm clock. If all else fails, travel more, so you don't feel like you wasted any money on the travel alarm clock. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
