Royal Caribbean has recently updated its list of prohibited items, adding multi-plug outlets to the list of items that are not allowed on board its ships. This decision has caused some concern among cruise travelers who rely on these devices to charge multiple electronic devices in their cabins, where outlets can be limited. You can find the complete list of prohibited items on the Royal Caribbean website: Royal Caribbean Prohibited Items.

The reason for the ban is that multi-plug outlets, along with extension cords and power strips, are considered fire hazards. The Coast Guard has warned that commercially available surge protection devices, which are often incorporated into multi-plug outlets, may not be compatible with the wiring on ships and could pose a fire risk.

While multi-plug outlets are now banned, USB charging blocks and cords for phones are still permitted, as are curling irons and hair dryers. Passengers are advised to bring only the necessary charging devices and to be mindful of the limited number of outlets in their cabins.

Royal Caribbean’s decision to ban multi-plug outlets is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and security of its passengers and crew. The cruise line has a comprehensive list of prohibited items, which includes flammable items such as candles, irons, and incense, as well as weapons, drugs, and other potentially dangerous items. For information on travel safety and security, you can visit the website of the U.S. Department of State.

Cruise travelers are advised to review the list of prohibited items carefully before packing for their trip to avoid any issues at embarkation. While the ban on multi-plug outlets may be inconvenient for some, it is a necessary measure to ensure the safety of everyone on board.
