natben Posted May 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2005 As a person from "down under" who has lived in Canada as well as the UK I am wondering if anyone can tell me which electrical plugs are used on board. QE2 bound in June. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaleye Posted May 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2005 QE2 has both US and UK style plug sockets in each cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare carlmm Posted May 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Are there any outlets for German or Euro-Norm plugs, too? (I have been on the QE2 but just cannot remember.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingernut9999 Posted May 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2005 QE2 has both US and UK style plug sockets in each cabin. i thought that there were UK, and European (rather than US) sockets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueensFan Posted May 15, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Can't you get adapters from the Purser or someone? Think I read that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsgirl Posted May 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Not being electrically minded I do not know about the actual sockets, however I can say that having washed my hair, I then could not find a socket to plug in the dryer provided, finally called the cabin steward, and was told "you have to disconnect the TV and use that socket". I was concerned that the hair dryer would short out the socket since it would require more power than the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2moose Posted May 15, 2005 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Adapters Are Available Locally To Covert 230v To 115 V Both 60 Cycle.german Voltage And Or Cylce Being Different But I Believe I Remember Different Voltage And Cycles On The Qe2.

Rare Gardyloo Posted May 16, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I did not see any European 2-prong sockets, only UK three-prong and N. America sockets. The UK sockets were clearly labled 240v and the NA ones 120v. So you would need a plug adaptor to operate devices with standard Euro plugs. I expect (but cannot guarantee) that these are available in the shops on the QM2, however they are available readily elsewhere. BTW we always pack a 3-5m (10-15 foot) extension cord as often the plugs are not located very conveniently. Most appliances can handle both 50 hz and 60 hz without any problem.
