Jackiealu Posted September 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I am sure this question has been asked, but I can't find the answer. Will we need an electrical current converter or plug adaptors on the Tahitian Princess? Also, we will be staying 3 nights pre cruise at the Intercontinental, will we need these items at the hotel? We will need to recharge batteries for camera and want to make sure we have everything we need. Thanks for any info. Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meribeth Posted September 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2005 You won't need a converter for the ship. It has both 110 and 220. I can't answer the hotel question. But I would bet you'd need a converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackiealu Posted September 7, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Meribeth, Thanks for the help. I am betting you are right. I am just looking for an excuse not to have to pack it, but I guess I had better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mai Tai Guy Posted September 11, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi Jackie! We were wondering the same thing about the electrical outlets at the hotel and I found out on the IBC website that the outlets in the bathrooms are 110 V and the rest of the room is 220 V (standard). I remember on board ship, that hairdryers won't work in the bathroom outlets, but will work in the rest of the cabin. So, I guess we won't bring our converter this trip.:) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbmark Posted September 17, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Just returned from Moorea and everything is 220v. That being said, if you check your charger, you may find that is takes both 110 and 220. Hertz (cycles) are 50-60. I did not bring a converter as all our electrical (hairdryer, curling iron, PDA, camera and computer) are rated at both settings. You may want to take European adaptors for the plugs but that wasn't necessary in our room. The plugs had slots for a North American plug. If however you have any "grounded" plugs, they will not fit into anything without another adapter that takes a 3 prong male and has a 2 prong male on the other end. Hope this isn't too confusing. If so, I'll try to provide further information. Just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
