cruise1957 Posted March 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Is there an outlet for a British Plug in the CLS on Oasis? Thank you in advance. Picture of the plug i have is attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donsyb Posted March 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2023 No, you’d need to take an adaptor (not a converter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boz575 Posted March 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) I don’t remember seeing an outlet for UK adapters, only standard two prong EU outlets. If you look at a CLS video on YouTube, there is a TA (Danny) that always points out outlets. Edited March 8, 2023 by Boz575 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted March 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Only North American (110v) and European (240v) outlets on cruise ships. (USB on newer ships) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise1957 Posted March 9, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thank you all, very much appreciated. I looked at Harr travel video of the Crown Loft Suite, but his logo was over the outlet part of the video, Ugh! I also have a 4 USB plug, but I thought I may be able to use both. I knew someone on here would be able to answer, again, thank you! Have a great day, and whenever your next cruise is enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allure may have them still 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess the ones installed on Oasis are 10 watts. My phone can fast charge at 27 watts so I use a 30 watt charger when I want to fast charge. I doubt if I will be using those USB ports to charge anything in the future. I will use the mains and a charger. I can all three outlets and with fast charging the devices I have charge fast. I was happy to have those ports a few years ago but time moves on. Edited March 9, 2023 by Charles4515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the outlet has nothing to do with charging speed. Only your charger and phone determine how fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really clever ones that work anywhere in the world on any plug and have USBs on them also. Check amazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone does not care what power is put into the charger, just what comes out of the charger. This wattage is fixed by the charger design, from 5v and 1 amp (5 watt) to 20v and 5 amp (100 watt). This is determined by the circuitry of the charger, and is not affected by the charger input power. And, as noted, since wattage is determined by voltage, current, and resistance, and since the resistance of the charger circuit does not change when you switch from a 110v outlet to a 220v outlet, that means that when you double the voltage (220v from 110v), you halve the current. This is a known phenomenon of electrical circuits, and why many countries outside the US use 220v power, because for the same appliance, you use less current at the higher voltage, and less current means less chance of electrocution. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
