Amsterdam outlets

[Kruzkrazy]

Hi group,

Dw and I will be staying in Amsterdam before a Viking cruise in October. Can someone tell me if Netherlands uses standard two-prong European electrical plugs?

Thanx,

KK

Yes, standard 2 pin European plug (220-240 V).

Yes, and the Viking longships have both European two prong 220 and US 110. You can use your adapters there as well to give yourself more access points as long as you are charging or using a dual voltage device

Are they really US 110, or are they US plugs with 220 volts?

Something I did not know until I posted a similar question on this forum. Your electronic devices--tablets, smart phones--are already dual voltage. You'll need a 2-prong adapter (about $10 at Best Buy) but you won't need a converter. We were on the Viking Magni. We used the 220 and 110 voltage plugs about the same amount. So handy.

OH! I thought this was a shopping question. ;) Never mind.

Electronics are virtually all dual voltage. But not everything else. You need to check for other items.

On Avalon (and I have to assume on all cruise ships that do this - I've had the same on ocean cruises too) the "American" plug = 110v and the European plug = 220v.

 

Why on earth would they want to ruin our stuff & their electricals by providing 220v service to an American plug?

Or you can get a six-pack on Amazon Prime for $8.99.

They're really 110-- my ancient non-dual voltage curling iron can verify!

LOL...I thought this thread was about shopping!

They are 110, I doubt anyone would run 220 through a standard US plug. Vast majority of modern items are dual voltage so you can go either way. I still have an old electric toothbrush that is 110 only so these were handy as it holds for about 2 weeks.
