Royal Caribbean Cruise Hairdryer

[smurfchops]

Are the hairdryers on RC Cruises, very powerful, do I need to take my own?

As I have almost no hair (!), I'll have to rely on the wife for this one. They are OK, but are usually permantly wired in (so you can't choose where to use it) and the light by the dressing table isn't brilliant. She prefers to take her own as she is 'used' to it. Although there are both 110V and 220V outlets, the 220V still requires an adapter for your 3 pin plug. Get a multi country adapter and you should be OK. The 110v socket takes pins, the 220V takes blades (or it could be the other way round!!). Although you can't use the 110V for your hairdryer ('cos it won't get hot or go fast) you can use it for charging cameras, iPods and phones etc.

As it was possible that Mr & Mrs Sdddsddean might have stayed in a higher class of accommodation than you, Smurfchops, or that facilities might vary between ships, I thought that I'd check out what the RC website says.

It confirms that hairdryers are available in all rooms:

Further, the information provided above about electrical supplies also applies to all rooms:

(It's the last question on the list).

Treat yourself to a few 'do's' in the hair salon..........

I usually take my own hair dryer as I like a really strong one, sometimes in hotels and cruise ships they are very slow and weak. Its quite heavy though, I think I'll get a travel one and take that. Thanks all !

I can recommend the little Visiq hairdryer (£5.99 Argos). I bought it recently to use on a long distance train journey. It was pretty powerful (even on 120V)

Who needs a hair-dryer on holiday - or any other time for that matter. I have long thick hair and never use one.
