Coral Princess - Hair Dryers

[lucky cal]

Can anyone who has been on the Coral Princess recently let me know what type of hair dryers they have? Are they the tiny wall-mounted type or freestanding units? Are they decent or really bad?

 

I am hoping I can make due and not have to bring my own.

 

Thanks.

We were on the Coral in January. The hair dryers are mounted on the wall and less powerful than the wall mounted ones in hotels. I brought my own, from previous experience. A fellow passenger with short hair complained about how terrible they were.

Ugh! I was afraid that might be the case. Even the wall-mounted ones in hotels don't work well on my thick hair. But most hotels, at least, are moving to the freestanding dryers and those are generally more powerful.

 

Guess I may need to consider taking my own, but I hate to do so for 2 weeks of travel in Alaska.

They are pretty weak.

We were just on in March.....I thought the hair dryer was fine .

But mine at home is not a salon brand ...just a normal smaller one

so thats what I'm used to and hair is not to thick.

It didn't matter much anyways because as soon as I stepped

outside with the humidity ..any work done on the hair was for nothing

as it took on a life of its own!

We were on a cruise through the panama canal, so you will have

better luck going to Alaska :p

We were on the Coral last year and yes, it's the wall mounted ones. :(

For me they were fine - but I have fine hair. If your hair is long and/or thick I would suggest taking one from home. As said in another post, with the humidity in the Panama Canal, it really didn't matter. I would do my hair before dinner and wear a hat during the day :D Alaska weather would be different obviously!

Yes they have a low & high speed. I find them OK....not great but still better than having to pack my own since I like to travel as light as possible.
