Power Strip

[pe4all]

Only time I had one confiscated was when we packed it in our luggage.(by mistake) On every other cruise I put one in my carry-on and have had no problems.

My power strip was confiscated on the Carnival Dream last week! It left us in bad shape....the steward provided an extension cord to provide more outlets thank goodness. Now i know to bring only a simple power strip.

Just curious, was in in your carry on bag?

We keep our strips with our machines, however from what i'm gathering there is only 1 outlet by the vanity right? none by the beds?? how long of extension cord should we bring and where can we pack it. was planning on putting it in the duffle bag with our shoes and misc checked luggage. now that i'm reading this i'm a bit afraid don't want it confiscated.

I always pack it in my carry-on, never a problem.

 

I also have an extention cord in there with no problems.

Something to be aware of. The Belkin with the USB outlet has two models, a 5 watt and a 10 watt. If you are charging an iPad or two USB devices you should get the 10 watt version.

Hi :)

 

I also use the Belkin. No cords & no issues with customs. I simply

pack it in my carry-on along with my camera equipment..

Put me down for another belkin user. Never had any issues with security.

I just grabbed one from WalMart a little while ago, after reading a review on it. I also carry it in either my camera or laptop bag. I have made a few friends at the airport with this little device.

Not all ships have the German style outlet.

I know the Inspiration has British style outlets.
