Can you take an outlet extender?

I don't know what these are called, but you plug it into the outlet and it has three outlets on it so you extend the one outlet into three. It's not a power strip or extension cord, which I think are forbidden. I'm worried there won't be enough outlets in the (basic, not suite, not fancy) room.

I use one of these and have had no issues. Different cruise lines and ships.

 

[Meriweather]

Yes, we take one all the time

Yeah those will work. Although so much stuff is charged by USB nowadays that I’ve found that a multi-port charger (like the Anker one) is actually more useful.

We take that too, but my toothbrush needs charging, DH has a CPAP machine, so our outlets can fill fast.

Fair enough. Although I’m sure the day will come that a CPAP can be charged via USB. Not anytime soon, I imagine, but one day.

RCCL recently announced that you cannot take anything with a power surge protector. People have reported on Cruise Critic that their regular extension cords without surge protectors were taken. So be careful about what you take on board.

I would take something like this https://www.amazon.com/Cruise-Power-Strip-USB-Outlets/dp/B07BHVKPC3 still in the package that says non-surge protector and hope for the best.

I purchased that in June after seeing the link on Cruise Critic. I have used it on two cruises since then and had no problems bringing it onboard. I had it in my carryon bag, not checked luggage.

We travel in either 2 or 3 rooms so we don't generally have an issue with enough outlets but I do bring a USB (with multiple ports) European adaptor and/or a simple plug adaptor so that we can use the 220 outlet for some stuff as well.
