Bringing a fan on cruises

[Honolulu Blue]

This is another question that was inspired by a post on another board.  I'm curious about the size of the fan club for fans on cruises.  Do you bring one when you're cruising?  Don't count the paper/wood handheld ones, only the ones that run off batteries or AC current.  Thanks in advance for the replies!

 

P.S.  I'm in the "no" department

I'd bring one that plugs in, but don't have the space to pack it, and I assume that the cruise ship wouldn't like it.

I bought a hand held one that works on batteries in 1964 .I bring it on every cruise in the case that it came in and it suffices its need.

I'm impressed that you have something that was made in 1964 that runs on batteries and still works.  I guess it's true that they made them better back in the good old days.

I still have many things that I bought in 1964 that still function  including Binoculars and an electric shaver.

I get hot so I take this and it works very well for such a tiny fan. It has a USB plug.

Holland America will provide a fan if requested ahead of time. Which I did for my SIL.

I am always hot, and anticipate being grumpy hot in my stateroom if I don't have a fan! I purchased this fan from Amazon and have been using it around the house. It's small but mighty and the charge lasts a decent amount of time. Worth sacrificing some suitcase space!

I always bring a wooden-handled fan (manual), but it's something I carry during the summer at home as well. 

 

Last cruise, I thought about bringing a small USB powered fan (work-branded), but couldn't fit it into my suitcase, so left it behind.

Question will a fan drown out someone that’s snoring?

Sharp elbow to my ribs seems to be Mrs Ldub's preferred approach to this problem. 😀

We have a small camping fan that folds flat (to about the size of a book).  It runs on batteries, and it's great for keeping air moving in an inside room.
