"Very infrequently do I get as angry as I am today,” the guest began. “Carnival Cruise Line have banned us from bringing on power strips and chargers. Really?!! There has been no warning. I would not have known this if I had not seen an Instagram video.” The guest goes on to say they're "angry enough to cancel this cruise and take the hit" on their Carnival Sunshine cruise out of Norfolk, Virginia.
Another big reason? Many cruises require power outlets for CPAP machines, a medical necessity—it's one that can be stressful if adequate power sources are lacking in rooms.
Many have taken to bringing their own power splitters aboard cruise ships to ensure enough ports, but some cruise lines have quietly banned them, sparking outrage. Royal Caribbean banned multiple power splitters last year, stating that the strips could cause overheating, potential power outages and fires, and there was an online hubbub wondering whether Carnival would follow suit.
The question resurfaced again a few days ago on Heald's Facebook page, and he made sure to once again remind cruise goers that Carnival has not changed its policy (with signature pun included.)
In fact, power strips are listed under the “Exemptions and other considerations” subheading on Carnival's Prohibited Items List. “Power strips, multi-plug box outlets/adaptors, and extension cords (without surge protectors) are allowed when used with proper caution. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard, they will be removed and returned on debarkation morning.”
More Controversial Prohibited Items on Cruise Ships
As part of its "Be Safe. Have Fun" policy to curb disruptive behavior, Carnival did put a ban on Bluetooth speakers in late 2024 to prevent disturbances and noise pollution in public spaces. The practice was put in place to ensure a peaceful atmosphere for everyone on board and to make sure important cruise announcements can be heard.
Carnival also maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy on cannabis/Marijuana—even with a medical prescription—since it's strictly prohibited by federal maritime law, regardless of its legality in a passenger’s home state.
