seasider71 Posted July 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2016 We're going on our first cruise on Navigator next week and wanted to know about the electric supply in the cabins. As Brits we have 3 prong plugs and I'm wondering if we need European or USA adaptors ?? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Ships have US and European style plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted July 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2016 220v european round pin outlets, and 110v US outlets, so your electronics are fine on the 110v, but hair dryers, while they may be dual voltage, will not perform well on the 110v.

Rare John Bull Posted July 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I can never remember what sockets different ships have - I don't need to know, I take a universal adapter. Available from Argos, Boots & other outlets for around £10. Suits US/Aus, northern Europe & southern Europe. A short 3 or 4-gang lead is handy too, since there's no more than two spare sockets in a cabin. JB :) Edited July 29, 2016 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2016 They have EU and American...no UK plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) They have EU and American...no UK plugs. Ahhh...Britain was in the EU until just recently (technically still in), but still has different plugs. The correct description is European plugs, or British plugs. Another bum scoop....

Rare nikkiw60 Posted July 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2016 We found this in IKEA yesterday and though it would need an EU or American plug how neat is it?

griffy116 Posted August 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Most women will disagree, including my daughters, but I just use the hair dryer provided in the cabin. I have short hair and it works just fine. Saves me worrying about the plug AND saves luggage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
