Xxyzx... your making it sound like if you plug your CPAP in to the wall it's going to disappear into a puff of magic smoke and then the person who needs CPAP is going to wither away and die with out their machine.

Could we please be a little more realistic before offering doomsday predictions.
The person's going on a Cruse - not renting a row boat and a team of trained marathon hamsters to power a DYI generator to power their CPAP while they sleep in the middle of the ocean.

As one mentioned - just like when you travel - take a good extension cord maybe a compact surge protector encase the outlets are in a crappy location but if your traveling on a modern day ship you should be fine. I rode an overnight ferry in the Mediterranean and just plugged my machine in to the room's electric with a ero adapter. I had no problems. I have to think a cruse ship with better amenities then a passenger transport ferry would at least fair as well as far as providing safe power.

Rest well.

I get the large, oval Swisspers and place them under the straps. One pair of Swisspers lasts me a couple of months, but I'm a very quiet sleeper.

Wait, what's this? I am very interested in this idea. I see there are a lot of Swisspers. The Premium Cotton Ovals? What a great idea!

Lyrics

Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
Is books written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it's true, oh
All these things you do come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
