Power strips, carnival Magic!

Power strips are OK as long as they don't have a surge protector which is a fire hazard due to the type of wiring used on ships

Does anybody have a recent experience with power strips on Carnival ships?

I found another thread. The power strip cannot have a surge protector.

It was a little bit of a challenge, but I found this one on Amazon. No surge protector and it's super cheap...

If you have a medical need and don't want to risk it getting confiscated, contact the special needs department. They can provide one for you. It doesn't matter if you have a medical note or not. If it is deemed a fire hazard, they will not let you bring it onboard. It is at the sole discretion of Carnival.

I have a new medical issue and I am planning on bringing a power strip on board for the first time. I lost my hearing recently - All of it - And now have cochlear implants. I need to be able to recharge the batteries for my processors and I also have a small electric dehumidifier unit that I put the processors in overnight, every night. I will beg them not to take the power cord from me. When my batteries die, I cannot her a thing!

You may want to contact Special Needs Dept and have a confirmation email with you. That way if questioned at check-in, no problems.

Or you can let them provide one for you. If the power strip/extension cord is deemed not up to standards such as if it has a surge protector or appears to not be in good working order, it won't matter if you have a confirmation email or not.

Best bet is to bring a brand new cord/strip that doesn't contain a surge protector or have them give you one to use.
