I can’t get the picture to up load.

 

It has two straight pins and one round pin. Is this okay for Sapphire princess cabins?

 

Here is a photo on the Caribbean Princess, same on the Regal, and the Royal.

The North American (NA) plug has two slots and a round hole. The left (longer) slot is "neutral," the right (shorter) slot is"hot" and the hole below them is the "ground." Some NA electrical devices do not had a ground prong, they are ‘double’ isolated instead. One things to check, North American power is 120V at 60 Hertz (frequency). UK power is 240V at 50 Hertz. Your UK device may or may not work on NA power. Check your device.

The cruise ships usually have European type sockets. They also usually have American type sockets.

 

You do want to make sure that any device that you plan to plug in is both 110/220 capable. Most electronic devices and charges sold these days are, but you should check yours.

I haven’t seen that arrangement on the Sapphire, only on the Regal. Most Princess ships do not have the European receptacle but two U.S. receptacles very close to one another.
