smelmo Posted May 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I've searched and can't seem to find a concrete answer.... For those that have been on the Celebration... What hair styling tools worked and did not work? Trying to see if I need to purchase a new product to bring with us this July. Thank you in advance! smelmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amypintx Posted May 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I haven't been on Celebration yet, but my hair dryer did NOT work on Mardi Gras so I'm assuming it won't work on Celebration either. It's worked on every other Carnival ship we've been on. My straightener DID work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightkj Posted May 31, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Newbie cruiser here - I'm sailing on the Magic in January and am now wondering if my styling tools will work. Do you know why they didn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnTH Posted May 31, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I have been on both Mardi Gras and Celebration. Both my hairdryer and flat iron are from Lange. They are both dual voltage (50/60HZ) and they both worked just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know why they didn't work? @wrightkj I've never had a problem with any of my stuff on the Magic (or any other Carnival ship except Mardi Gras.) I agree that tools that aren't dual voltage is the issue on the Excel class ships (I assume it's going to be all of them.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGACamper Posted May 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I also used the provided hair dryer on Celebration last week and it was fine. Even had the concentrator attachment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnTH Posted June 13, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The Lange Hair Dryer I have is no longer sold. Wish it was - it is small and compact and works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar404 Posted June 14, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Would my Dyson hair dryer work on Celebration? Or are you suggesting I get a voltage converter, just to be safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you suggesting I get a voltage converter, just to be safe? You probably will still have issues even using a voltage converter. Most cruise ships' power is 'different' from normal power, not just different voltage, or even the amount of power, but the way the power is delivered. On a standard 120V AC circuit you have 120 volts (to ground) on one leg, zero volts (to ground) on the other leg and the third wire is an earth ground. On a ship you have 60 volts on each leg (120 volts between the two legs) and a "floating" ground. Converting the 220 volt AC outlets to 120 volts will only change the voltage but will not it to "normal" 120V with a true ground like you have at home and that the ceramic heating elements need to operate normally.

My single voltage conair ceramic curling iron did not. I'm reviving this old thread with new information. I'm on the Celebration now. My L'ange oval drying brush works but only in one of the three outlets I have. My curling wand thing will turn on but not heat up and my Revlon flat iron that I've used on 5 or 6 other Carnival ships will come on, start to heat up then turn itself off. Not good at all. Dual voltage doesn't seem to be the indication that it will work becaue my dual voltage hair curler does not heat up. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
