British ghd'S

[sunsearcher59]

HI we are new to princess cruises and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I will be able to use my GHD's in the cabins and what is the voltage in the cabin sockets? Thank you all for your help.:)

[paul929207]

I don't know what GHD's are.

 

As to the electricity, the answer will vary by ship. All have US style 110 watt outlets. I believe a few have the british style 220 outlets.

Hairdryer or straightener. Good Hair Day.

You might need the plug that converts from the UK plug to the US plug. I was told the princess ships have the US plug.

Most Princess ships have just a US socket in the cabin although there is a 220v outlet in the bathroom that's for shavers only. A hair dryer or straightener would draw too much power and probably trip the circuit. As said, as long as your small appliance is dual voltage, you just need an adapter. There's a hair dryer in every cabin so there's no need to bring one with you. It's small but adequate for most people.

It is a straightener. People with lovely naturally curly hair NEED them.

As long as your ghds can use voltage between 110-240v they will work fine. However if they are a model that will only use 240v leave them at home. You will need to take an adapter to be able to use the american style sockets.

I've been on 2 Princess cruises and have used my GHD's with no problems at all. You just need to remember to bring an adaptor and it's a good idea to bring one of the plug adaptors that has outlets on the sides and top as the GHD cord is quite long from the actual straighteners and sometimes will not have enough room if plugged in normally as the cord will not flex.

Thank you all once again for your replies ,and putting my mind at rest :)

Hi There

 

According to DW if they are not dual voltage they do not heat up right,

she bought a set on holiday just to take on cruises.

 

yours Shogun

I'm with you on that one shogun and your other half!

 

Sunsearcher check out the voltage and if they are universal you should be fine with adapter, also I took a 4way uk adapter so was able to charge a few things at same time. Happy Cruising!

We are with Melissa and Shogun on this one. My daughter has the same straightening iron you have, GHD, and we would never think of taking it and using a converter with it. When we go to Europe I bought her an iron that is 220 voltage only. Never would she think of taking her one from the US and using it there.

 

Even with the converters you can burn up your hair appliances. I've known some friends who have done this. We do have a good dual voltage hair dryer also that we take when we travel to your area also.

 

Truly, it is worth the money to invest in a travel products that use different voltage. Granted it isn't cheap, but would hate to see you burn up what you have. BTW, she loves her GHD straightener. Best one she has ever had.

 

Have a great trip.

I have used my GHD's in USA numerous times and on lots of Princes cruises, they are multi voltage and can be used internationally, all you need is a standard US travel adapter. No problem in the cabin.

[Hulagirl]

Interesting! The one we bought in the US is definitely not multi voltage. Lucky to have one that is! Wish we did.
