Royal Caribbean bans some essential items, tech savvy travellers upset: What you need to know?

Royal Caribbean has made a controversial decision by banning power strips, multi-plug outlets, and surge protectors from its older ships.

This move has sparked debate and frustration among travellers who rely on these items to charge multiple devices during their cruises.

The cruise line justified the ban by citing the potential electrical hazards associated with overloading these devices on older vessels that aren't equipped with sufficient power outlets.

However, many travellers find the restriction inconvenient and difficult to adjust to.

Older Royal Caribbean ships often have limited charging options, with only one American-style outlet and one European-style outlet available in cabins.
