We watched a first time cruiser get stopped right at the Miami terminal because her favorite power strip had one thing security does not allow: a built in surge protector button. She had no idea. The fuse inside can spark, and cruise lines will not risk that near thousands of pieces of luggage packed together. 🌊 She swapped it out on the spot for a simple non surge protected power strip, the kind sold at just about any drugstore, and she was cleared through in minutes. Cabin outlets are famously scarce, so having extra plugs without breaking the rules makes a real difference on port days when three phones, a curling iron, and a CPAP machine all need power at once. She also picked up a trick from her cabin steward: skip the command strips, cabin walls are metal, so magnetic hooks hold everything from lanyards to hats without leaving a mark. 🧳 Every cruiser has that one thing they learn the hard way on their first sailing.
