Here's the updated prohibited items list from the RC website. I've used the shown adapter for many cruises on different cruise lines. Is it now verboten?

[lovesthebeach2]

I would like to interpret this wording:

“extension cords with multi plug outlets/power strip”

simply as a power strip that has multi plugs, like ALL power strips do. They’re trying to eliminate surge protectors I think, which some power strips say they are.

 

But the one shown above I wouldn’t think is what they’re prohibiting…….if it is, they better be adding lots of extra outlets in each cabin.

We've cruised so many times with the ones pictured above.  They were confiscated on our Liberty cruise in August.  I was annoyed LOL. 

 

If you are going to try to bring something, always put it in checked luggage.  I swear that's why ours was taken.  First time having it in the carryon.

This is annoying. The rooms don’t have enough plugs to charge all my stuff.

Invest in a multi port USB charger.

I just hope they will continue to be allowed, I have used this the last few times and loved the convenience of it.

Traveling with a teenager & 2 adults & WiFi pkg was challenging. Next trip brought these along (7/24). 
 

are they still legit?

According to post #27, no.

Ugh

i’m going with post #28 🙂.  Neither have surge suppressors

 

although the fact that they do have additional plugs could be an issue.  Might need to step back to the basic sort of just USB slots as pictured in #32

 

i’m sure the real-time reports will come in quickly

Except that it doesn't say "extension cords with multi plug outlets/power strip".  It says "extension cords and multi-plug outlets/power strips".

Let's not forget, that Symphony of the Seas has 3 US Outlets and 1 European Outlet with 2 USB-A ports on the vanity. (Plus, another US outlet is attached to the headboard. There appear to be many more power points than older ships.

I would be interested in hearing anyone’s experience where a passenger got their’s confiscated. We have cruised for years with these and had no problems.

 

 

I have one of these which plugs into the Euro plug.  We used it last week on Ovation without it getting confiscated, but the stateroom attendant made a fuss about it and unplugged it every time she made up the room.  She said they had one catch on fire a few weeks before.  So if they changed the rules this would not surprise me.

It doesn't really say anything about adapters. We are sailing on a Voyager class ship. The outlets, unless you have an adapter, are not plentiful.

Please avoid bumping old, dead threads. If you have a question, start a new thread versus touching something that is 9 years old and has outdated information which causes confusion.

Nothing wrong with resurrecting old threads if it's the same topic.

 

@gallagher123123 ignore previous poster.

Check your USB chargers- I have yet to see one that isn't capable of running the 220V Euro outlet- so a very simple converter from euro to us would let you use the other outlet for a multi outlet USB charger.  Very worth having given you can get multiples for less than $10.

 

That way the two US outlets can be used for the devices that have to use 120V.

 

Then again, you should also check your other devices, most computers have 220V capable systems, too.

Update to banned items now says "extension cords and multi-plug outlets/power strips.

My interpretation would be that adaptors that @keishashadow shows would no longer be allowed, however these ones should be, since there is only 1 outlet/plug, with 2 USB ports:

We have those, actually bought the multi plug ones over a year ago to “upgrade” lol

 

on allure there was an outlet rather hidden under the bed…perhaps for Cpap machines?  

 

We did bring this along on that sailing, worked fine. Since it has a cord, assume it’s also forbidden.

 

Question the mr has:  when you one says confiscate…does that mean you can get it back the end of the cruise same place I see steamers etc. when disembarking?

You get it back. Some pictures of the "naughty table" stolen from some other threads:

on older ships that only have 1 us plug, are there any adapters that you can use to plug in more in more then one device without using the euro adapter?

Are the devices USB, or do they require 120V power?

[shof515]

120v power
