Calvinfromoz Posted January 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Wife and I are booked on Voyager,departing Sydney in February. She would prefer to take her own Hair Dryer and Straightening Iron,but we are not sure if she can. Royal apparently say no,they are fire hazard's,however I have seen some posts that say it is OK. What experiences,thoughts do others have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My wife has always been able to take a hair straightener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted January 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Have always taken my own hairdryer and curling iron. Never had any problem getting them aboard. They only thing is that there are no plugs in the bathroom that you can use to plug into. You have to use the plug that is over the desk/vanity in the main part of the room, otherwise now problem.

cb at sea Posted January 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Of course it's ok....if ships wouldn't allow women (and some men!) their hair appliances, women would NOT cruise. I know I wouldn't! Being on the ship is like being in a hotel...bring what you need to look and feel your best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvinfromoz Posted January 2, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks for the prompt replies. I thought they would be ok but a friend got a very definite no from Royal Customer Service here in Australia when he asked. Guess we will just pack them and see what happens.

bluegirlum Posted January 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2015 i would encourage her to bring a power strip or extension cord if she wants to use more than one at the same time. The cabins in most of the ships only have one outlet, and it's annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvinfromoz Posted January 2, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks for the link oneputt18. The Royal Australian FAQ site makes no mention of them, http://www.royalcaribbean.com.au/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&pnav=5&pnav=2&faqType=faq&faqSubjectId=348&faqSubjectName=Luggage+%26+Luggage+Tags&faqId=2608 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheeling_family_of_3 Posted January 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Extension cords are a no-no from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emski83 Posted January 3, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was wondering this! I can happily use the ships hair dryer but I need my hair straightener Emily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted January 3, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) The confusion with whoever answered at RCCL probably was over the word "iron" You CAN bring a hair iron (flat iron, straightening iron) but NOT a clothes iron!

Allaboutsailingrc Posted January 3, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I finally gave up on Royal's hair dryers and bought a small travel hair dryer. Royal's dryers never had enough power or heat to do the job for me. I also bring my hair straightener. Good hair days make me happy.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegirlum Posted January 3, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Extension cords are a no-no from what I understand. I have a Belkin 3-outlet Mini Surge Protector that I use. Best $15 I ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted January 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I have a Belkin 3-outlet Mini Surge Protector that I use. Best $15 I ever spent. I bought one of those for our cruise next week! Yay, I can't believe I get to say next week! LOL I used to take a long power strip and never had a problem but it's been 5 years since I cruised and I've heard some people have had problems getting them on. It's not that I would mind if they confiscated it, but I would hate not having the extra outlets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so helpful when you want to charge your phone/camera battery/computer/whatever and want to do your hair at the same time. :) I'm jealous you're going next week. Lucky you! We got an inch of snow here in Madison today and it's making me very excited for my cruise in 56 days. Have a great time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
