Are Portable Fans Available from Cabin Steward?

[SailorMarg]

I'd rather not travel with my portable fan but I do strongly prefer to sleep with a fan moving the air.  Is a portable fan something our cabin steward can provide us?

If really need bring one, do a small Battery or USB powered one...

If you buy a battery operated one, test it at home. 

The first one I bought stopped after 6 hours which, of course, woke me right up. I tried it again, as we were cruising, and it never lasted more than 6 hours.

We were given a box fan on Symphony in November, 2019. It was by no means small and stirred up the air quite nicely! ymmv

I asked for a fan and they brought me a small one.  I don't think that they have a large supply so ask when you get on board.

I always bring my own...just a small 5 in. electric desk fan.  I MUST have airflow at night....hot flashes...and it doesn't matter if it's  40 degrees or 70 degrees...it's not the temperature, it's the AIR FLOW!

 

I also bring a standard  extension cord (no "surge" suppressor) and it's always been fine.

 

Battery fans don't last, and batteries for replacement WEIGH a lot!  Just get a SMALL electric one.

I have asked my cabin attendant for a fan on my last three cruises with no luck. 😞
