Creator's Key Takeaways

the power on a cruise ship has both sides coming in hot at half the volts on both sides

I recommend simply asking your room Stewart for one they usually have one that they can give you or they can locate one for you

just look for anything that says Cruise safe and you should be fine

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do not bring surge protected power boards on cruise ships
✓Ask your room steward for a non-surge protected power board
✓Look for products labeled 'Cruise safe'
✓Bring a power outlet adapter for the ship's specific plug types

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not understanding why surge protectors are prohibited — The ship's power system differs from home; surge protectors can overheat and cause fires
