plug and towels..

Hi I am first time cruiser on the independence of the seas on Sunday... can you please help with the plug situation? Do in need the flat pin ones or round pin adaptors?? and does everyone take there own towels? :o

You will have beach size towels in your cabin and large bath towels in your bath room. You can also get them by the pool and can take them with you off the ship when you go to a beach. No need to bring them with you.

I can't help with the plug type. Often newer ships will have both outlet type but often only one for each type. I bring an extension plug so I can plug more that one item at a time but this is a US type. You should be able to find a conversion to plug in US type.

Check on the ship's site about this.

RCI does not provide beach towels in the staterooms, but do provide them at the pools. You do not need to bring them with you.

The plugs are both the US and European style side by side.

There are North American and European outlets but I'm not sure about outlets for U.K. or British appliances.

A cruise lines provide towels for both bath, pool and beach! No need to pack them!

We have been on a few cruises (not all) where there was a beach towel for each of us in the stateroom. You could replace them as needed by asking your cabin attendant. :)

No UK sockets; buy a world wide adapter from a local store- B&Q, Sainsbury's etc for a few ££, and then you can use both US and Euro sockets.

OP was asking about Independence of the Sea, which is RCI, and in our experience RCI has never provided beach towels in the staterooms.

Thanks for the clarification - I was not making the distinction between European and UK outlets. Good to know.

You do NOT need to take beach towels.

Sometimes they are in your cabin ... sometimes not.

Whatever, you can always get them from the pool area. :)
