Senior Blow Dryer Moment

[Loracpin2]

Will get an answer a lot quicker on CC than trying to contact RCI.

 

Can't recall if there are there blow dryers in the cabins on the Oasis?? Thanks in advance for your replies!!!!

[smokeybandit]

yes, though they won't be the most powerful models if that is important to you.

Thank you. Won't take my everyday one but will now take a mini as a back-up.

Every cabin.  Every ship.

I was really hoping for a funny story about how you couldn't get the blow dryer to work! 😂

Not in the bathroom, in one of the desk drawers. At least in lowly cabins we book.

There are, but I won't use them.  They are terrible.  I take my own blow dryer and my own toiletries.

The dryer will be a Conair 1875 they work great as I have the same one at home too.

Yes, they are at once under-powered yet way too hot. I call those types the "Fisher-Price Singe & Fry" defective toy blow dryer.

Yes, but as previously said- if you have thick hair- best to bring your own.

[gerif]

Maybe I spend too much time in hotels and motels but I’ve never bothered bringing my own dryer (I like to pack light). Therefore, I have no problem with the dryers provided.

I always think it's missing and then I remember it's in the desk drawer.

If I remember correctly they are the type which requires you to continuously push a button while using it for safety reasons.   I have arthritis in my hands and so I always bring my own as so many hotel provided hairdryers have this feature and are too hard for me to use

No, these (Conair 1875) aren't at least the ones we've had recently weren't. They have three settings off, high and low...no holding the button down.

That's happened with my wife a couple times. It's usually me reminder her where to look.

We have had both in the last year or so. On our most recent cruise, ours stayed on but our friends in the cabin next to us had to hold the button down. Theirs stopped working halfway through the cruise and the room steward replaced it with one that stayed on. My guess is that RCI is replacing the old style with the new style when the old ones stop working properly.

Thanks for all the replies. Mini-blow dryer (which works great) will now be coming with me on our cruise!!!🤩
