shofer Posted March 20, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2006 We are new to Princess and I have a question about the outlets in the cabin. We will be on the Coral Princess and have a BB balcony cabin. Does the desk in the cabin have an outlet in the desktop/mirror to accomodate a curling iron and or hair dryer? It make is easier if one of us gets ready out there and the other one (guess who) uses the bathroom to fluff & buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannp Posted March 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2006 There is a hairdryer attached to the wall beside the desk. There is an outlet for plugging in a curling iron or hairdryer of your own. I've seen comments on this board to bring along a small power strip for things like cellphones, camera packs, etc. And yes my roommate used this area for her curling iron so I could have the bathroom un-interrupted. It's also great for plugging in a nightlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseteach Posted March 20, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thee is a small, two-plug outlet, but it is in a rather "awkward" place. I strongly advise that you take along a power strip, esp. if you have digital cameras, etc. There is a hair dryer on the wall next to the desk. (Bet a woman thought of that one! :) ) . It is a fairly low wattage. The mirror over the desk is plenty big and you will have no problem doing your hair there. I did find the lighting inadequate to do my make-up, however. I needed to do that in the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meemeec Posted March 20, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I find the hairdryer to be very weak and if you have need for a "real" hairdryer then I suggest you bring your own. It works well for some but not for all. I agree with the power strip suggestion since some plugs have the large GFCI thing on them thus blocking the second outlet. (Hmmm...it's clear in my head :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofer Posted March 20, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted March 20, 2006 thanks to all who responded. Guess we'll bring a power strip or an extension cord. I will bring my own hair dryer. I've had it w/the under powered, burn-your-hand dryers on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssantow Posted March 20, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Good advice from everyone. I always bring a six outlet power strip and a short extension cord. With so many things needing power they are a must to have. Even traveling on land and staying in hotels you will find they come in handy.

mummsie Posted March 20, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 20, 2006 We have never needed to bring extra (just as well because we have different plugs/voltage in Australia). The charger for the digital camera gets plugged in over night. My husband uses the outlet in the desk for his shaver. I use the hair dryer provided - might take a bit longer but that's ok - we are on holiday and that's the only power we use. We travel light. No need for any extra outlets. !!! Mummsie.
