Cruise Ship Electrical Outlets 12/29/2007 3:36:35 PM Linkcruise ships What type of electrical outles are on the ship?
Most of us never consider what type of electrical outlets we will
find in our stateroom until we board the ship. This can be very
important if you want to plug in an accessory you may have brought.
Most cruise ships are built in European Countries such as Italy,
Japan, Norway or Germany. Therefore, they are designed with
European electrical outlets. Most staterooms offer at least one 110
volt U.S standard outlet. The outlet in the bathroom is for one electric
razor only. This means you can not use a hair dryer or curling iron.
Fortunately, most cruise ships provide hair dryers in the cabin.
You can usually locate the single 110 outlet near the desk area.
With all the new technology that a lot of us now have such as
digital cameras, video cameras, laptop computers and cell phones
you may find it frustrating to charge your items.
The best solution is to purchase a mini power strip with 4 power
outlets. You can find this at most computer stores or Wal-Mart.
This power strips will greatly help and they are compact with
placing them in your luggage.
If you plan on taking a European cruise and staying a few extra
days before or after the cruise, you will need to invest in an
international adapter. Most computers and digital cameras will
operate on 220 or 110 as long as you can plug them in with your
international adapter.
Always read the label before plugging in to a foreign outlet to make
sure it operates on both 110 volt and 220 volt.
