Hi Ang, ask your cabin steward for an adaptor, don't buy one there's no need to. I even take a hair dryer let alone a straightener or curling iron, but there are plenty that do.

Depends on how much crap you take with you. We take one now. Have to plug in the mobiles (my night clock), battery charger for camera, laptop, mp3 player and electronic game thing.

Hi Ang, I've taken a powerboard on the last 2 cruises and it's been a godsend. I just plug everything into it at the end of the night and it's all ready for the next day. No need to do one at a time which is a pain in the butt.

 

PS just noticed I left out the word "don't" with regard to the hairdryer.

I have read people suggesting just asking the Steward for an adapter when you arrive instead of having to take one. Silly question but, how many do they actually have available on board for passengers...especially if so many people request them...wouldn't want to miss out and wished you had taken one. Thx;)

They will have enough for every cabin on the ship and them some extras

The first time we sailed each cabin had on it it already plugged in. It was only this time we had to ask.

Thanks for all the wonderful info on this board - Im going on my 1st cruise in about 3 weeks and this information is excellent. I would never have thought to take a powerboard - so thankyou. I also bought an adapter just in case (although I probably shouldn't have bothered - but it was only cheap):) .

Thanks again everyone

You're welcome. You never know if they will run out. We found that the adaptor came out really easily and every time my husband pulled out his razor the adaptor came with it. I often would find it in his shaving bag! So I wondered how many people accidently took them homeWe already had one since hubby's family are in Europe so it was no biggie to take our own.
