Power cord/strip

Check directly with the cruise line. When we take a Grand or World cruise on HAL, the ship loans us a power strip.

Williamcate, i looked at the product from your link and it describes itself as "surge protected". What is the most sure-fire way to ensure that our electric and USB chargers are not confiscated? If new( in original packaging) are they tipped off by the words( surge) or do they look for something specific about the device?

This is the style I bring as they don't "see" it as a power strip which they often take when they exray. On the last cruise there were a lot of extension cords and power strips confiscated. My power strip wasn't taken, but the extension cord was - they told me to ask my room Stewart for an extension cord, which he did provide. I got my cord back at end of cruise. Never hid the strip from my room attendant.

We also travel with 2 or 3 power sticks for our day long travels

I bought one off of Amazon and we will keep it in our suitcase when we are not there (or our steward is) and at night we'll use it to charge everything. Ours isn't surge protected which from what I've heard they don't want surge protected. And we'll also bring power bricks with us while we are at port.

We always take a new short power cord with no surge protector, and have never had it taken away. It may be best to check the FAQs for your Cruiseline or even call them to be sure of what is allowed.

We take a power strip with cord, since we have sailed on a couple of ships where our little plug in adapter cube didn't fit due to positioning of outlet. No surge suppression is the big thing, and be sure it is new or like new. Anything that looks used will most likely be confiscated.

We take an Anker charger (like williamcate describes in the previous post) with 4 USB ports. Works well and hasn’t been confiscated yet. Enjoy your cruise!

we always bring a power strip, but its more of a rectangle with 4 USB ports and the plugs accommodating all country plugs. We asked the Stewart for a power cord as there was only 1 outlet and it was not convenient for me to use.

We do see a LOT of confiscated power strips and cords at security. Our last cruise they took my cord, but missed the power box.

Some ships do not allow strips with a surge suppressor but do allow the ones without. We usually bring a power strip with a switch and no suppressor but rarely use it. If we do use it to charge many things at once we do it overnight when we are in the cabin and the steward is not. There are other options as well.
