realnice46 Posted August 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2022 We are sailing Celebrity Eclipse and they have 2 European plugs by the desk. Do I just need adapter to be able to charge our iPhones, iPads etc? Any particular brand or style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canloan Posted August 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2022 We just bring dollar store European adaptor plugs with us and use them. They are small and lightweight. The North American plug end plugs into the adaptor and the other end plugs into the European plug outlet in the cabin. By doing this we can usually double our useable electrical outlets in the room for the cost of a couple of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be certain that anything with a North American plug that you plug into the Euro》N.A. adapter is rated for operation at 110-240V, give or take. If good that way, any inexpensive Euro》N.A. plug adapter will work. You want a very vanilla version like these: https://www.amazon.com/Unidapt-European-Adapter-Converter-adaptor/dp/B077WJYNQ5 Edited August 29, 2022 by canderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbiker97 Posted August 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I bought these several years ago to use when we're on Celebrity. They work great with the European plugs that are in the rooms. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R3RN4D5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no ground, it won't run afoul of the surge protection issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted August 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2022 And I don’t recommend the universal international adapter. They are just too bulky, may not fit because of their size if there is a restriction around the plug. when used in a vertical plug, they can fall out because of their wt. i ordered a few Euro adapters, and a few UK and Australian types. Then take what I need for that trip. And for cruising as the OP has asked about and others have suggested, a few Euro Type C adapters. den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voltage must be 120-230 V marking. Some older adapters are only 120 and you will fry them. Most modern chargers and computers are dual voltage. I had an older Roku and the power source was just 120. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Type E/F Shuko plug has ground via the two spring clips on the outside of the round part of the plug, that mate with the similar spring clips in the outlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have pulled up a rotated view. Wish I could clearly read the text molded into the back of the case. The side view didn't show any protruding spring.
