Falconrunner26 Posted June 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Does anyone know if a Dyson Airwrap hair dryer will work on the Vicking Ocean ships? Are personal hair dryers allowed? Any help or suggestions are appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolTravler Posted June 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm unsure what an Airwrap hair dryer is, but I did find this. It indicates curling irons are OK: https://docs.vikingcruises.com/pdf/20190826-Prohibited-Item-List.pdf Hope this helps! Peace! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking provides each cabin with a hair dryer, so no need to bring personal ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich3554 Posted June 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Viking provides fantastic hair dryers. I keep forgetting to get a model number on them to buy one myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchly Posted June 28, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2021 If anyone could let us know what model hair dryer is on Viking ships, that would be helpful. I use a diffuser, and I’d need to bring one that fits their dryers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Braun . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millybess Posted July 3, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 3, 2021 On 2 Viking cruises I was able to take a small travel hairdryer with a diffuser and my Chi hair iron. I expected to have them taken away at check-in, but they weren't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten so used to using it, I don't use anything else. It might be able to pass as a hair curler, which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other threads on other forums discussing the electrical systems on cruise ships, I have had anecdotal comments both that the Dyson products do or do not work on shipboard systems. I reached out to Dyson, and never received a response. I don't know enough about their digital motor technology to say one way or the other whether a Dyson product will work with a "floating ground" system. The Dyson line is the only one, however, that I've seen mentioned as not working onboard, yet works before and after a cruise.

Tom.in.nc Posted July 7, 2021 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Aren’t those Dyson “ball vacuums” I saw the cabin stewards dragging around on the Sun? Ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton If they are, they are 220v, so the whole "floating ground" thing is different for them, and all the ship's 220v appliances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsontravels Posted September 25, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 25, 2021 On the two ocean cruises I’ve experienced on Viking ships the hair dryer can’t be plugged in in the bathroom. It can be plugged in near the desk with the lighted mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the bathroom outlets are current limited, rather than GFCI protected, since they are in a "wet location", and this limits them to about 2-3 watts maximum, much less than a hair dryer. Razors and toothbrushes only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the power usage of a waterpik, and it says they are 12-14 watts. The shaver outlets are fuse limited to 20 watts at 120v, (I was off by a decimal earlier, before my coffee) so you may be okay. Check the amperage (must be less than 0.2) or wattage of your unit. A battery one for travel may be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
