LoopyLou66 Posted April 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi all. Not long till our first ever cruise, on the Epic. I had a question for UK cruisers in particular - I've seen a post where someone said their hair tongs didn't work at all on board and I wondered whether this might just be an isolated incident and/or have you successfully used various hair appliances on board (with the obvious adaptor as necessary)? I'd like to bring my 'Big hair' brush and 'Curl secret' curler - any experience with these? As, of course, I couldn't make them work in the Caribbean in the past, presumably to do with voltage etc! :) Thanks ladies, Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weloveamerica Posted April 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi, sailed on the epic in September last year and my straighteners worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie55 Posted April 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They need to be multi voltage. My original GHDs wouldn't heat up but I bought the newer version a couple of years ago and have had no problems. If your appliances wouldn't work in the Caribbean they may not work on board.

LoopyLou66 Posted April 28, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ok thanks. That makes sense. I'll investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky38 Posted April 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ok thanks. That makes sense. I'll investigate. I bought my GHDS years ago and they work fine on every cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie55 Posted April 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The GHD IV came out about 8 or 9 years ago. The versions before then weren't multi voltage. In a previous job I spent 1 out of every 4 weeks in the US and it wasn't until the mark IVs came out that I could use them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glittergal1 Posted April 28, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ive got some cheap hair straighteners these are multi voltage and have worked on all my European cruises . Does the Epic have US plug sockets or European? or both? Ive got plug adapters for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
