Hello,
Yes, I have taken my Braillenote on a cruise.
I took it through the way I would take it through security when flying.
This is taking it out and putting it in the bucket like a laptop, and everything
was fine.
I did not have a problem with charging it in the cabin, for there was plenty of
power.
Good luck and have fun.

Subject: [Braillenote] Cruises, transformers and the BrailleNote
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.
