bayportkat Posted July 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I know extension cords are not allowed. Can anyone tell me if a USB tower falls in the category of extension cords? Also, what about a plug (no cord) with 3 USB ports? Packing for a dual vacation (land and then cruise) with a variety of electronics to charge and don't want to have my luggage held if I can avoid it. Thanks!

Maierkai Posted July 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I honestly didn’t realize extension cords were a no no and brought them on multiple cruises with no problem. Now with the well placed outlets, I just bring the usb multiple port things and haven’t had a problem. I don’t think you’d have a problem with a usb tower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicpersona Posted July 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I had a Belkin travel swivel charger that I've taken on dozens of cruises, and just recently realized that it had surge protection. It was never confiscated, and I know now not to take it on cruises anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted July 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The issue is extension cords or any device with a surge protector not a plain extension cord. I bring a block but it does not have a surge protector. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ret MP Posted July 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Maybe someone can show me where on the U.S. Royal Caribbean website says Surge Protectors/Suppressers are prohibited. There are several people that say that they have had them confiscated at the embarkation terminal. But, I just can't find it in official writings. Someone once, in another forum showed a link to it but it was actually Australian RCCL site, not a US RCCL site. I've had 120v outlet block with surge suppresser on it on every cruise, that includes two cruise lines, I've been on with no problem. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/prohibited-items-onboard-policy This page doesn't mention surge suppressers/protectors at all.

There is no mention of Surge Suppresser/protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted July 28, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I discussed a few different options in this post today. All of these are acceptable on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
