Possibly Stupid Electrical Question

[MargaritaPlease]

If you sail a Royal Caribbean ship (Splendour for sake of argument) out of a European port (Venice, Italy for sake of argument)... It still has 110V AC US-Style power outlets, right?

Yes. Every Royal ship we have sailed on has had both US 110V and Euro 220V outlets.

Yep, in May when we sailed out of Venice it was 110.

Well yes and no.

 

Yes, the US-Style 110V power outlets will still be there.

 

No - though you didn´t ask this specifically - there won´t be any power on those outlets, so you can´t use them.

During the eastbound TA they have to Switch midway from the US 110V cable attached to the ship and plug in the 220V European cable. Unfortunately there´s not a Long enough cable to connect the ship to the US power plants:( and since you can´t bring Extension Cords you are out of luck.
