Gelbel Posted June 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2009 A girl and her hair dryer cannot easily be parted. What are the cabin hair dryers like? Good - i.e. I can leave mine at home and I will not suffer a bad hair day everyday or poor - i.e. pack mine and never mind about the additional kgs and look like a goddess every night? Quality of the provided shower gel? Any other bathroom goodies provided? Sockets - will I need my 2-pin European adapter? Tip for 1st timers - I take a small 3 or 4-gang extension. You can guarantee the mobile, iPOD & camera will need charging at the same time. Thanks in advance AmoMondo! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In categories 1-10 they are the horrendous wall mounted things with the house that take for ever and a day to dry your hair but you look like you've been dragged through a bush bacwards - so definitley bring your own. If you are in a cat11 (suite) - then no problems - it is a normal hairdryer that you plug into whichever socket you want (i always used the dressing table) Quality of the provided shower gel? i usually use my own but have used theirs on the odd occasion. It is bath foam/showergel.and comes in the little mini bottles (no idea who makes it for them). Any other bathroom goodies provided? not many others - little bottles of shampoo and tiny little bars of soap - and the free disposable shower caps. Although all tiny ones, they replenish as you use them but I prefer to bring mo own brands. (differnt brands of shampoo can wreck havoc with the hair!) Sockets - will I need my 2-pin European adapter? Tip for 1st timers - I take a small 3 or 4-gang extension. You can guarantee the mobile, iPOD & camera will need charging at the same time. They have 2 sets of Us style sockets and 2 European type sockets on the front of the dressing table. There are probably others dotted around the cabin, where they plug in lamps, TV etc but I always just used those ones Thanks in advance AmoMondo! ;) You are welcome GelBel! Answers above!

AmoMondo Posted June 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sorry gelbel, I had not noticed that you are also a Brit - yes you will ned your European adaptors. British appliances don't work well with the US sockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted June 3, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks AmoMondo. So - just to check - are there Euro 2 pin and US 2 pin sockets? I'd never use provided shampoo - shower gel yes; but the mini bottles are never enough I find. Oh well - even more in the case! I could not get the countdown here to work - we are taking the Venice/Eastern Med/Black Sea 12 nighter on 4 October. Only a category 7 - so long as I can see out I won't pay more for my cabin. I prefer upgraded flights. Actually, one more Q. If we ask for the beds to be set up as a double - will one side be a 'fixed' single against a wall or will we be able to get in both sides?

When the bed is configured to a double, neither side is up against a wall. There will be space to walk around both sides, with a bedside cabin on either side and a bedlight. I was actually considering that trip as it's the first time they've done that itinerary but then I got tempted with the new route to S Africa and a ship I've not been on before!
