ckornuta Posted March 18, 2016 #26 Share Posted March 18, 2016 They are like hotel dryers except you have to hold the button. works fine for me because i have wavy hair and just scrunch it on the cruise. It works great as a diffuser but i could not see drying your hair all the way with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land lover Posted March 18, 2016 #27 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I forgot mine on my cruise last week, which reminded me to post this thread to warn my fellow women. ;) don't forget the men, my DH uses a hair drier more than I, as I like to air dry my long hair(no natural curl so I m lucky) I often take dry shampoo and wear hats rather than spending time with my hair each day.

I love doxies Posted March 18, 2016 #28 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I was aware how bad the hair dryers were so brought my own on my last Princess cruise. The only problem was I could not plug it in. Would not fit in the outlets so I had to unplug tv and use that outlet every time I wanted to dry my hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayra Posted March 18, 2016 #29 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I take the approaching of sitting on the balcony and using the wind to dry my hair and then taming it down with a straightening iron afterwards. More pleasant than any hair dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisercl Posted March 18, 2016 #30 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I was just on the Emerald in January. When I get home from cruises I tend to write myself notes about the cruise. This is what I wrote about the hairdryer (I had an OV room): "Hairdryer pathetic; old and very little power. At desk attached to the wall – ‘proVersa’ brand." Not sure if they vary from ship to ship. Will always bring my own on Princess from now on; lesson learned. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. My DH complained about it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CU64 Posted March 18, 2016 #32 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Yes....it sucks your hair into the dryer and burns it off. I bring a small, packable travel hair dryer that works great. Mine folds in half... much better BL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 19, 2016 #33 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Happily, no problem for me using the hairdryer provided by Princess. My hair is chin length and rather thick. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted March 19, 2016 #34 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I NEVER travel without my own hairdryer...NEVER! YOU GO GIRL ! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted March 19, 2016 #35 Share Posted March 19, 2016 At the risk of redundancy- I could breathe on my hair and have it dry faster. One the other side, I do not typically bring a one due to space and weight in my luggage. I do bring my own (super expensive) shampoo and conditioner. I use the Go-Tubes. I did not bring it on my last cruise and Yikes!:eek: my hair was a big hot mess the whole cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted March 19, 2016 #36 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Nope! They're not even good for short, fine hair, still takes three times as long as a decent hairdryer. I have short, fine hair and had no issues drying it on my last 3 Princess cruises using their hairdryers. We always stay in a suite and the shampoo and conditioner they provide is fine, so I don't have to drag that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vie lee Posted March 19, 2016 #37 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Two years ago someone here posted a recommendation for a travel hair dryer. I want on Amazon and got it and now never travel without it. Its really small and the handle folds down and its really powerful for the size. Its a Babylisspro and I paid $24.99 for it. I travel a lot and hate leaving the fate of my hair to whatever hairdryer the hotel and cruise cabin might have......:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairebearinaus Posted March 19, 2016 #38 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I was hoping the 16+ knot apparent wind on my balcony would dry my hair pretty efficiently?! I do plan to take my straightening tongs to smooth it all out afterwards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
