Converter question - Gem

[Duncan28]

I will be traveling on the Gem in an AD suite. Will I need a converter for my battery charger for my digital camera? Here is the following information on it:

 

"Note: The charger's input voltage will automatically regulate between 100V-240V~50/60Hz. For overseas use, we recommend only a plug adapter for the country you will be visiting. Plug adapters are usually sold at stores that feature travel items such as luggage. "

 

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just want to make sure that I'm prepared for the cruise. I'd hate to not have my camera for the trip! I did check NCL's site and it seems like I will be okay plugging this in. Thanks for your help in advance!

Many of the new appliances are dual voltage today. Your camera is dual voltage as well. All you need is an adapter to plug your American two flat prongs into the European two round prongs. No converted needed, at least for that camera.

 

You might want to buy an International adapter kit which supplies all of the adapters. Next year you may want to go to the UK, which uses different prongs than much of the rest of Europe or the continent.

 

The Gem will have both, an outlet for the US and an outlet for Europe, but not the UK. Europeans are more familiar with the different outlets.
