Even though there are US plus, we still bring a Euro adapter so we can have one more outlet.

We also bring both European and US converters to be able to use all of the plugs, very useful.

Just make sure whatever you plug into the Euro outlet is rated for 240V. My wife has a hair straightener that works fine in that outlet.

Quantum class also has USB outlets. Older ships, including the Jewel:

We almost blew up a hair dryer that way too. Plugged it in and immediately noticed much hotter and powerful it was! Was able to turn it off before any damage.

one more outlet is not enough, I usually bring a small traveling power bar too. :-)

[Virtopia]

I need to bring a small power bar as well ... I could be charging a few devices at a time.

[Pharry]

Thank you all for your replies, its appreciated.

[Merion_Mom]

As per our resident expert, chengkp, please only take power bars, etc. that do NOT have surge protection.

Just be aware that, since you are in Australia and would generally have appliances operating on 220V, some things may not work as well or charge as well if you use the American outlet.

 

The European outlet uses the same voltage as Australia so would be better.

Goes without saying, but make sure your device has 120/220 V on the label. I looked at some of mine and some say 100/240 V. Just make sure it's dual voltage. If it just one or the other then you have to us the transformer and adapter not just the adapter.

Why are they so surprised that there're two of them?

Thank you for that information I wasn't aware of the US outlet being only 220V. Will certainly use the European outlet.

The US outlet is 120V.

Thanks Bob, typo . 😊

We were on Oasis in March and my straighteners wouldn't work ..... Thought it was a voltage problem being from the UK. Iam a correct in thinking if I had used the European outlet they would have worked.... Sailing Harmony in Med in October
