No power strips?

[OKW Lover]

They are for low voltage items...our electric toothbrush and nightlight would not work in there.

Not sure which ship you were on but I recall the outlet being a standard 110 volt outlet. I suspect you meant low current, not voltage. At any rate something as simple as a toothbrush or nightlight should work just fine there.

I went the easy (cheap) way. I got this at Target.
On the Magic there was this on the desk, 2 more behind the TV, 2 one one side of the bed and one more on the other side of the bed.

That device is not designed for that use. If you notice it is keeping one of the light switches depressed at all times which sends a low voltage signal to the light power relay. Most of these devices are designed for US electrical systems and should not be used on a ship! See the Coast Guard advisory PDF below.

We were on the Wonder, post recent renovations...and nope...neither item worked. Our room host told us that most things did not work in the bathrooms.

Hmmmm.. I am assuming since my son uses not only bipap but also an oxygen concentrator, multiple feeding pumps... he uses 2 per day...., and his scooter that we will be bringing with us that they will be able to provide appropriate power strips for us to use for charging all his machines? (how on earth are we going to charge our phones/ipads with him hogging all the outlets! LOL!)

How many outlets do you need? There are at least 4 or 5 in the room. You can also get extension cords/power strips from Guest Services onboard, if necessary.

One outlet will charge 5 phones/ipads or other usb charged devices you have. We set it up in the outlet behind the TV. It worked GREAT!!

Edit to add: It does not come with USB cables to charge the items. We ordered those separately...or you can use the ones that come from all your chargers. For us, it made sense to just pay the $9.99 for a 5 pack of 1 foot long cords and keep them in the charger at all times. Its tidy and organized and we never lose cords. We take it on all of our vacations, not just cruises.

On our most recent cruise I had a power strip packed in my carry on with my cpap machine. They didn't question or open my case. We were on the Dream and there was a plug in next to bed so I didn't need it.

For a nightlight in the bathrooms I have always brought along a battery operated light. It's about the size of a hockey puck and uses 3 AAA batteries. We set it on the shelves, turn on low at night and turn off in the morning. Light reflects off the mirror and does a good job.

He actually uses 5 outlets just for his machinery. Then there his ipad/ipod (autistic spectrum... i.e. mommy sanity savers!). Crazy, right? Obviously something we need to plan ahead and contact them about ahead of time!

We were on the Dream last week. I found that most of the desk outlets were a lower amperage. My new Apple Watch was only keeping a charge half the day. My guess is the "hairdryer outlet" is higher. Our wireless cabin phone was plugged into it.

Your Apple watch doesn't require much amperage at all. The standard charger for that watch only draws 5 watts which would be less than 0.1 amp at the 110 volt level that those desk outlets provide.

The hairdryer outlet is a 220 volt outlet.
