Many cruise cabins have a common problem… lack of outlets. This has generally gotten better with newer ships, but can still be an issue. Even newer ships that have more cabin outlets, the outlets can be placed in such a way as to limit their usability. If two outlets are too close together… you can only use one.

To accommodate European travelers cruise lines will often include one or more 220 volt outlets. If you’re used to using three prong 120 volt electronics this outlet will most likely go unused.

One way to stretch out the outlets on your next cruise is to… use the 220 volt outlet.

There are a number of different devices and options available to do that.

Here’s a hands on look at a European type c night light and USB charger block combo

A top down look

A look at the USB port. It features one type A USB. This is good clarification because the type C in question here is European outlet type c adapter not USB-c.

For size reference next to a bottle of Sun Bum sunscreen (my standard size reference item on Cruise Packing List)

Here’s the adapter on Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas.

Will this be banned on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises?

Royal announced that multi-plug adapters are banned

My current understanding of that rule is that multi-USB charging blocks are allowed. But anything that has an AC outlet on it must have only an AC outlet and nothing else.

This features no AC outlets so my interpretation is that this would be allowed.

Plugged in and working!

Conclusions

These are small and cheap and a great way to use an otherwise unused outlet and pull double duty while you’re doing it. In my opinion some sort of European type c adapter should be on everyone’s cruise must pack list.
