Scockets aboard Discovery

Does anyone know what sockets will be in use on the Discovery. Not sure what adapter to take EU/USA ?.

Take both to be certain, and they will have some in the shop anyway.

I read in the latest Thomson brochure, it advises the TUI Discovery accepts both European and USA adapters

if its anything like the Navigator of the Seas it will have both, we had 2 US plugs and 1 European socket...I only took US, could have done with the euro plug...the power was so poor anyway my wife's hair drying took ages!

Over the years I've managed to accumulate a variety of adaptors, but have now convinced myself that for holiday hotels and cruises an extension socket is the best option.

I rigged up a UK 3 gang extension socket to a Schuko (aka Euro) plug using a Euro plug kettle lead bought off the internet for a few pounds - just snip off the kettle end connector and replace the existing lead of your UK extension socket - 2, 3 or 4 gang, as preferred.

The advantage of such a combination is that the cable has a moulded Euro plug which comes grounded (earthed) and can be used for equipment that must be earthed, such as hair dryers and curling tongs etc.

Alternatively, you could just buy a Schuko plug from the internet (Ebay has them) and replace the 3 pin UK plug - however I find the earth connection on Schuko plugs awkward to secure, hence my preference.

The last time I wired a Schuko plug to a British lead I ended up sandwiching the earth wire under a small brass washer (between the clamping screw and plug body) to ensure it was a sound fit - can't compromise on safety.
