This is the clock on the Wonder. Note the USB ports on the left.

On our Fantasy cruise this month, we had this new clock. Did not use the USB ports since we had already brought our charging station. Did not find the clock too bright at night.

I did have a hard time figuring out how to change the time when we switched time zone. I just asked the stateroom host to take care of it.

I use the 5 port one. Took it to guest services and it passed the "not a prohibited item" test.

Oh, that's good to know. Can you do ipads in any of those ports?

I carry electrical tape with me when I travel. I put it over all sorts of lights, like the smoke detectors.

Ack! Not that black vinyl stuff I hope. That kind of tape is really, really hard to clean up after removal. The adhesive tends to leave gummy stuff all over the place. Better to use the blue painter's tape in multilayers than that black vinyl stuff.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand, the Fantasy has the clock with 2 USB ports on it. Plus, the wave phone charger is really a 220V USB adaptor. We used those 3 ports to keep our stuff charged and that still left the hair dryer port for the hair dryer and 2 US power ports for laptops and other chargers.

It really depends on the type of electrical tape you use. But yes, mine is a sticky free type, not the dollar store brand that's for sure!

That is what we had on the Magic. TBH I never used it for anything. Just used the plug for my stuff (advantage of being solo) and the wake up call for waking up.

Yes, I can charge an iPad. When you buy it just make sure at least one of the ports has the higher voltage capacity (2.4v?).

Amperage, not voltage. USB voltage is 5 volts universally (except for QuickCharge chargers which can also do 7 and 12 volts, but even those default to 5 volts unless the device tells it to send more). 2.1 amps is standard for tablets and most new phones, but all will make do with whatever a charger can give and you can charge an iPad from a 1.1 amp charger, it will just take several hours to do so.
