CruiseeCrazee Posted February 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I'm looking at a cruise on Celebrity Solstice this fall. I'm American and all my devices that need to be plugged in are, of course, American plugs/voltages. Can someone who's been on Solstice let me know what type of outlets are in the rooms on that ship? Veranda room, if it makes a difference. Are the outlets American? Australian? Something different? I want to make sure I have the right converter.

jjfarns Posted February 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2023 There are two regular U.S. type outlets and one European outlet. All three are by the desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted February 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) We have been on Solstice a couple of times. I just want to add that there is a light duty electrical plug in the bathroom for shavers, etc. It will accept American style 2 prong (non-polarized) plugs and two prong European plugs. It is inconveniently placed to discourage use for other things. We do use it to re-charge our toothbrushes if/when required.

TeeRick Posted February 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2023 You can take a European to US adapter to give you another outlet in the cabin at least. Or just a typical 3-outlet plug in adapter for the US outlet to increase your options. Also not that many devices these days are pre-set to be either 110 or 220V automatically - so check for this in what you plan to bring and plug in.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2023 There are both 110v (regular grounded U.S.) outlet as well as 220V. Most electronic equipment today work on both 110/220 v but important to look at the device marking to make sure. I use plug like above but also have some one 220V on the counter and usually 2-3 on baseboard for vacuum and lamps. I bring multi plug for the 220 also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can combine with things like this - Power stips are banned but these type splitters are ok. Give the Kids (young Adults) the task and i'm sure they will figure out what they need. The threat of no power ---- LOL and these 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple hours and they are good for a week. A couple phones and a laptop and or tablet - again do you plug these in 24/7? Our phones last on average 1 1/2 days at home. My grandkids - 18,19, 22 did just fine with 2 outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though the girls are in their 20's, I am sure there will be discussions when someone unplugs a phone for a hairdryer or whatever it may be. Phones, fitbits, smart watches, portable chargers, at least 1 laptop, 3 tablets? I dont know and would like to be prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may enjoy the night light effect, I prefer pitch black. Yes you can throw a towel over them or something but just pointing out if you’re on team pitch black to try and find one without leds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skandsea99 Posted February 17, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Is this one ok? It's high a quality oner from Mophie. Or do I have to scramble to find one multi that plugs straight into the wall? i trust the Mophie. Edited February 17, 2023 by skandsea99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted February 17, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Mophie's all wireless, correct? Problem IMO is its too slow and wireless charging my phone doesn't give me any benefit over plugging it in. When in port, perhaps one will get back on the ship at 5pm and have to be at dinner 6pm, in that timeframe I'd like to get as much juice into my phone as possible. There are power banks but you still have to carry them around so having a fast charging option negates the need for a power bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not wireless, plugs into wall with regulated outlets. Sold by Apple too. Edited February 17, 2023 by skandsea99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'll take the Mophie one and probably a couple of regular Apple blocks just in case. One connectoer mzkes it so much more convenient though. Hopefully in a year or two everything will be a c connector out thanks to the Euro law change. I know these are on the expensive end. I don't go cheap though on electronics and now go with those sold by Apple. It's probably folks that packed non surge-protected power strips and cause shorts and firs that made it difficult for the rest of us.
