Times Prince Posted July 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2011 110 Volt AC, American type of wall socket. The shaver socket in the bathroom can accomodate both 110 V AC and European (2 prong) 208 V AC, but is not rated for high power such as one would need for a hair dryer.

Posaune Posted July 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The only plus are beside the desk in non=suite rooms. Take a power stripif you have more than two items to plug in and re-charge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katisdale Posted July 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2011 There is a "hidden" european style plug in the Emerald cabins. It is behind the beds and you lose one of the bedside lights if you choose to use the plug. My DH uses a cpap which is dual voltage and we were pleased to find this as it made using the machine very easy since he could plug it in right beside the bed. All we had to do was use the plug adaptor. We did replug the light before we left the cabin. The beds are a little difficult to pull away from the wall.

AndyTheK Posted July 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The socket under the bed is 2-pin German standard 220V. If your device is "smart" (look for voltage rating on the label... if it says something like 120-240V 50/60 Hz.) you're OK All you'll need is an adapter. Look at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_5_30?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=electric+adapter+usa+to+europe&sprefix=electric+adapter+usa+to+europe This outlet is great for a CPAP - no need for an extension cord. I crawled under the bed the first day, unplugged the lamp, and plugged in the CPAP. Stowed the CPAP on the nightstand shelf during the day. Reversed it the last day. The steward let it completely alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the outlet on dressing table, there's also one behind the TV - at least in the outside cabins. never looked there when in an inside cabin.

For the other outlets, though, I am confused by some of what I read in the thread. Do the ship's outlets accept a standard 3 prong extension cord, or do I need to get an 3-2 prong adapter for that? It is difficult for me to tell from the photos (not a problem with the photos at all, just a possible inability on my part to interpret what I am seeing and reading above). Thanks!

Pam in CA Posted July 16, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The two outlets in the cabin at the desk are US 3-prong 110v outlets. You can plug in any 2-prong plug or use any 3-prong extension cord. The outlet in the bathroom is 110/220v, US or UK 2-prong plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the under-bed outlet , all "regular" outlets are standard USA 3 prong grounded outlets. No adapter necessary for any US/Canadian device, power strip, or extension cord.
