Sister ship to Marina. My wife uses a Dyson Hairdryer. The dryer on the ship was ok, but if my wife did not have her Dyson, it would have been a tough trip for me emotionally. Just saying. Cruise well and enjoy every moment. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pandazoo Posted December 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 25, 2023 They sell small, powerful but light travel hairdryers. Not sure if allowed to mention brands or sites to buy but worth a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has reasonable expectations and is more concerned about the amount of space and weight she has in her luggage going thru airports than worrying about such a minor concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted December 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 25, 2023 All I know is that they are noisy. 'er indoors would give me 60 seconds warning to enable me to escape the racket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin Terri Posted December 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I use a Dyson at home. I do not bring it with me when I cruise for the obvious reasons of weight. Do I miss it? Yes. I was on the Marina for 32 days in the Spring and found that the Hair Dryer that was supplied (brand new) was quite good. The one I had on the Vista in November was just “so-so”. It would still not be a reason to bring my own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all dryers are the same. On the Marina, the first one I had almost caused a fire so they gave me a brand new one. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Acrusa Posted December 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 26, 2023 We always ask the room steward to bring a new hair dryer that's never been used in the box and ussaly they bring it to us while we are unpacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there's a concentrator attachment with the hair dryer in the room, but we haven't seen diffusers. Good suggestion from AMHuntFerry to ask for one since at the very least these would be available in the salon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnevale Posted December 29, 2023 #14 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I always pack a diffuser sock and it works well. It’s a foamy sock that fits onto every hair dryer I have tried and is almost as good as the proper diffuser I have at home. But it’s so easily packed and weighs next to nothing. Look for “Hot Sock diffuser” on Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisedreamer1 Posted December 29, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I've used the hair dryer in the ladies spa with good results. It starts out cool and warms up as you use it. The dryer in the room is sufficient for my thick hair but I personally refer the spa one but it's a pain to drag your clothing bag up. I often shower in the spa for it's spacious shower area. We were on the Insignia in December and they were offering L'Occitane products in the shower area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
