CPAP extension cord length

We're sailing on the Dream and this is the first time bringing a CPAP machine. A forum search thread said 15 feet was long enough but I wanted to ask, is 15 feet long enough for a Grand Suite room?

I know, some have said to ask for one on board but with my luck, they will be all out. I don't want to ruin a nice cruise without my CPAP.

Thanks.

We were in a regular suite on Liberty and found an open outlet by the TV and did not need our extension cord.

Your room steward will gladly get one for you.

you can call Carnival - they had an extention cord for my husband's cpap the first time we took it - after that I realized that we probably didn't need it.

I woud take it aboard with my CPAP as on RCL they confiscated a extension cord i brought (to run a electric alarm clock).

Ive read to make sure to bring the cpap machine with the extension cord so they can see its a medical necessity.

we have also gotten one from the carnival desk, it was one of those heavy duty yellow 50 ft cords lol

I agree with Firefly. I bring a 12' ext cord in my CPAP bag.

Have not had an issue yet.

Oh, and I use tap water for the humidifier when I'm on a cruise. No need for distilled water since it's only a week.

I wouldn't rely on them having enough. I recently contacted Carnival's special needs department and was told that they would let me use one if they have enough available, but I could bring my own, as long as it was UL Listed.

We had an ocean suite on dream and I used a 15 foot extension cord I brought.

Hello , I use a CPAP , also I just got off the dream 2 weeks ago, I had a balcony room deck 8 , I had a 12 foot ext cord it was not long enough I ask the room steward and he brought me a long 20 ft heavy duty orange ext cord .The bed was set up by the balcony door and the plug was next to the closet , they have a little night stand on each side of the bed the CPAP fit it just find I had to pull the table out about 2 to 3 in. There was no way the CPAP could fall . It is surrounded by the bed on one side the lamp that's built into the night stand on the other side and the two walls on the other side. I slept on the wall side by the balcony door. Also Carnival sells distilled water 3.00 a gallon you can order this from room service once on board. Not knowing about the water Carnival sells , I had brought two 20 oz clear plastic bottles of distilled water with me , when going through the x-ray machine they saw the plastic bottles , I showed the lady at the table my CPAP because I carried it on with me she said fine and let me carry my two water bottles on with me. I am sure if I had not shown her my CPAP she would have made me dump the water. Also note I had called Carnival and told them I was bringing a CPAP and asked about ext cord that's when they told meto ask room steward . IF you let Carnival know you are bringing a CPAP they will Flag you what I mean is my passport would not scan for them , they had to call someone when we were checking in to ask me if I had everything I needed for my CPAP when I said yes he cleared my passport to be scan. He told me they do this with everybody that lets them know they are bringing on a CPAP to ask if the have everything with them . So from now on I will not called Carnival to let them know I am bring on a CPAP . I just started using CPCP that's why I called but never again.

yea thats what they brought us one of those orange heavy duty ext cords.i had to laugh. industrial strength.

I have a 15 ft extension cord packed into my CPAP bag and found it to be a good size and not had a problem with them taking mine

Thanks all. Good advice.

I think that tap water on an old Carnival ship is actually distilled water that comes from their distilling system for potable water.

Check that, but I am pretty sure I was told that by Captain staff long ago.

You can buy distilled water on board if you want assurance.
