[Braillenote] Cruises, transformers and the BrailleNote

[Peggy Kern]

Hi, all.  I'm wondering if any of you have taken your BrailleNotes or 
mPowers on cruises.  My husband and I are going on a four-day cruise in a 
few weeks (Royal Caribbean, Monarch of the Sea).  In one of the books our 
travel agent gave us, under "what not to pack", it mentioned transformers. 
I wondered if that meant battery chargers, fearing I wouldn't have a way to 
charge my BN, so I called Royal Caribbean.  The guy said that was a good 
question, and he put me on hold.  He came back to say we could bring 
electronic equipment on board, but not to pack it, because the X-ray 
machines might damage the transformers in the electronic equipment.  As I've 
thought about it, I wonder if the guy gave me the right answer to what I was 
asking.  If it was a question of how to bring electronic equipment on board, 
wouldn't the information have talked about how to do so, rather than just 
listing "transformers" as something not to pack?  But then again, would the 
BN's charger be considered a transformer?  I have both the old charger and 
the new two-piece charger.  I don't want to blow the ship's electricity or 
blow out my BN, but I do want to use it if I can.  So I'm just wondering if 
any of you have had any issues or experience with taking the BN on a cruise 
and charging it on a ship.
