Not being allowed to use surge-protectors on cruise liner mains supplies

[NY]

I've not heard of a "timeshare" concept for cruise liners where you make a block booking of a cabin for all the cruises that the ship is going on.

Why do they use 400 Hz? Surely that means that all equipment that is used on the supply has to have a special PSU whose transformer can handle that frequency, making them specific to ship/aeroplane use and no use on land (unless you have a special 400 Hz supply).

What spike protection would you put on the mains input of sensitive electronic equipment? Or would you put it on the various DC outputs from the PSU?

that what the website that was posted, that I am now discussing, offered

basically:

"A cruise cabin that becomes your, one-and-only home"

For planes it means lighter transformers, can't see it being an issue on a ship.

Dignitas is probably cheaper.

You have bought a series of one-off cruises.

But you don?t get to see much of the world that way.

Or f*ck around with the other pax either.
