Goingon my first cruise in April on the Grandeur!! I sleep with a CPAP machine so I need to have an electrical outlet close to the bed or an extension cord. I read some old posts that say that a power strip extension cord is a "must have" item because there are not many outlets in the cabins but then I read that these are not permitted according to the Royal Caribbean packing list. Any advice? Anyone else had this problem? Thanks so much!!
The Special Needs folks are usually pretty good, but don't be discouraged if you get to your room and don't find the extension cord and/or distilled water. Just mention the CPAP to the stateroom attendant and they whould be able to fix you up.
I carry my own 12 ft extension cord in my CPAP case. I have used it on at least 15 cruises, as the one they leave in the cabin has NEVER been able to reach the outlet. I request the distilled water and they automatically give me the extension cord. It all depends on what type of cabin, how the bed is configured, and which side of the bed you sleep on. That is why I always carry my own. I try to position it in such a way that no one will trip over it in the night. Each morning, I unplug it and wrap it up so it is out of the room stewards way.
I carry my CPAP on every cruise and I contact special needs. They always have a heavy duty orange extension cord for me and a gallon of distilled water. I also carry duct tape with me. Some cabin stewards automatically bring duct tape and put it over the cord to prevent anyone from tripping over it. If they don't, I do it myself.

We will be in a balcony cabin (#7630) if that makes any difference. I wonder should I bring a small power strip or is that unnecessary? I'm trying to plan to pack light but don't want leave out anything that might really help out.
We are 1st time cruisers to. we are going on Grandeur leaving Baltimore on Sept 30 and were wondering the same thing about a power outlet, atleast for our coffee pot(lol) I figured if they had a raido and tv in the room they must have an outlet? Anyone know. We are in a room with a balcony on the 7th floor:confused:
We were on the Grandeur last week and were in an inside cabin. There was an electrical outlet in the main sleeping room under the mirror and that is where I used the hair dryer. My husband says there was only one in the bathroom and it said it was for a shaver only.
Before we left on this cruise, someone here suggested bringing a power stirp and I wish we would have done that. At any rate, it all worked out fine. Just had to unplug something when I needed to plug night light or something else. Not really a big deal.
sha88 is correct, the outlet in the bathroom is for shavers only. And we agree about taking the power strip! We also suggest taking a battery operated clock, if you plug it in, the time will never be correct :confused:
Also, if you are DRIVING to pier please put your luggage tags and ID tags on before you get there. This will help speed you along to dropping off your bags. As your are asked to put your tags on before you go to the baggae drop off area.
My experience with power plugs is the same as the previous posts. There was just one (1) duplex plug under the mirror at the desk area. We bring 12' and 15' standard (lightweight) extension cords that will reach to the bath so hair dryer can be used in front of the bathroom mirror. Extra plugs are mandatory if you have battery chargers for electronic stuff. Don't try to plug anything but an electric razor in the "special" plug in the bathroom. It will "gork" if you use anything else. (We speak from experience.)
I was on Mariner this past January and discovered a hidden plug behind the tv. The plug for the tv had an outlet built into it (I hope this makes sense!) Anyway, check behind the tv for an extra outlet (but I would bring a power strip too.)
not just an extension cord, if you want nothing to be burnt or blown by a power surge which the shis have often. We get 5-6 outlet surge protectors which are FREE after rebate at Office Max or Staples. Nothing will blow & wreck your vacation.
On Connie, a woman next door to us had her battery charger plugged into an extension cord which she plugged the hairdryer into also & it caught fire!!! The alarm went off in the bridge & the firemen were at her door pronto & gave her quite a yelling. The cord melted to the floor & a burnt line in it too.
Just wondering about the luggage tags. Did you say to put them on before we get to the dock. I thought they were special ones from the cruise lines? Are they or are they your own? If not where would we get them? any advise?
If you get e-docs, they'll have luggage tags available at the pier, but they'll have to be filled out then. One recommendation I've seen if you have to do this is bring preprinted address labels so you don't have to sit there and handwrite tags for all your bags.
Hyundai is gearing up to redefine luxury mobility with the Grandeur facelift with an ambitious plan, the launch of a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) model when launched in 2025. Now our colleagues at NYMammoth imagined how it could look.
One of the most anticipated features of the Grandeur PHEV is its ability to cover up to 100km on a single charge. This impressive range is made possible by a new high-density battery pack and two innovative in-house electric motors, currently under development.

Hyundai has revealed a retro-tastic electric concept based on a first-generation Grandeur, the company's former flagship from 1986. And holy cow, is it brilliant. The project was undertaken to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Grandeur and took designers approximately eight months to complete.
The boxy, '80s shape of the Grandeur forms the perfect foundation for an updated electric sled. Designers largely kept the lines of the original, but updated the grille, mirrors, moldings and lights. Of course, the drivetrain is battery-electric, but details were not disclosed. Nor was it the point. The result looks like an executive limousine from the original Blade Runner or Tron. The wheels, too, evoke a 1980s hubcap but appear to be one-piece alloys.
When we interviewed ex-Bentley designers Luc Donckerwolke and Sangyup Lee in 2019, they had big plans to make lighting a big part of Hyundai design. That has since manifested itself in the novel illumination ideas that have spread throughout the Hyundai empire, and the Grandeur doesn't hold back.
Instead of traditional lighting, the head and taillights are a grid of LEDs, repeating the squared-off theme of the body and new eggcrate grille. That theme is echoed in the side marker lights, which now blend into a silver side molding strip unlike the amber ones of old.
However, the cabin is where the lighting really shines (no pun intended). Ambient LEDs extend from either end of the dashboard along both the front and rear doors like neon stripes. They even form the silhouette of speakers when they pass over some of the cones of the four-way sound system. All that is topped off by a dazzling grid of lights embedded in an infinity mirror above the rear passenger bench. Sitting in the back must feel like you're lounging in the lobby of a mid-century hotel/casino.
The dashboard is where the concept's electric underpinnings rise to the surface. The original instrument cluster and vents have given way to a large digital display that almost spans the entirety of the dash. It hides some of the speakers in the 18-speaker sound system as well. A lower level concealing storage areas for sunglasses and such opens like the keyboard cover of a piano.
The center stack that used to house climate and stereo controls is now a tall touchscreen that controls the infotainment functions. It also doubles as a digital piano in case musically inclined drivers suddenly get struck by inspiration while sitting in traffic. A center console has a sliding compartment for wristwatch-sized items as well as a handbag-style opening for larger, flat items.
The Grandeur is a follow-up to Hyundai's electric Pony concept from April, built to commemorate the opening of a new design studio in Busan, South Korea. Like its predecessor, the Grandeur is an amazing concept that shows just how much fun one can have with modern car design on an EV platform. Not every electric car has to look sleek and emotionless. Like the Pony, this is something we'd ride.
Hyundai is well known for its commitment to quality and reliable vehicle manufacturing. In recent years, they have pivoted to manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs) including the popular IONIQ 5 EV SUV. With new and ambitious initiatives in place, including an electrification roadmap that has the company producing seventeen new battery powered EVs by 2030, the company has shown their dedication to innovation in the EV market.
The Grandeur EV sedan is the second model in the Heritage Series, after Hyundai presented a Pony electric resto-mod back in April 2021. Hyundai has noted that they take pride in utilizing their past designs as inspirations for the future through these reinterpretations.
