If cruising outside Europe take a spare adaptor

[Tudorcruisers]

Had never thought about this until my adaptor broke on recent cruise to Bermuda. Instore shops didn't stock any UK adapters and guest services didn't have any. Note to self - pack a spare next time !!

 

Wonderful concierge charged my phone and camera but if she hadn't been so helpful I would have been really stuck and will carry a spare In future.

Thanks for that tip....yes, that could be a problem in most places!

Hi,

 

in my experience all modern ships have European and USA plug sockets in the cabin, at least one of each.

Yes, but neither of them will take a UK plug, so if the adapter breaks, that's two sockets I can't use. I agree that it's best to carry a spare.

Hi,

 

So if you have a European and an American adapter you can take both.

Oh, ok, I see what you're saying now! I've travelled with a universal adapter for so long, I no longer think in terms of separate ones. When mine breaks, it's usually unusable for any plug. :p

I take a 4-way UK extension bar (fully insulated and Portable Appliance Tested) plus a UK/US adaptor and that does all our needs for charging phones, laptop, and razors.
