Kathleen 151 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I need to purchase a power/plug adapter for Italy. I understand the ship’s plugs are us wattage, I will need an adapter for my pre and post cruise time in Italy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ampurp85 1,232 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Try Amazon, I have a travel strip but unfortunately they no longer make them. Just search by the country and a ton will pop up. Kathleen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 12,148 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Make sure that your device (hair dryer or whatever) is compatible with the voltage. Kathleen and KristiZ 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SMOKEY0202 28 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 check with your Europe hotel. for my numerous times there, many hotels offer the adapter when you literally check in for a mere $5 deposit for your stay. Kathleen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KenCP 133 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Kathleen If you purchase your adapter for Europe always take it on your cruises as it will give you an extra plug in. The ships have both North American and European plugs, especially great on the older ships as they do not have a lot of plugins. Kathleen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand the ship’s plugs are us wattage, I will need an adapter for my pre and post cruise time in Italy. I've needed two adapters in the last two years. The one I bought from walmart was a like a 4 in 1 cube that had US, Europe, and all of the other adapters in it that packed together in a travel cube. The one I ordered from amazon was less expensive, but only came with the europe adapater. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phones are almost always dual voltage so you will be able to use the Euro adapter for these devices. Curling irons are sometimes dual voltage but hair dryers almost never are. If you plug MOST American hair dryers into a Euro converter and it is NOT dual voltage, it will burn up your device. Just be sure that your devices will be compatible with a converter.

ellcee 1,518 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Kathleen Many hotels have a hair dryer. Cruises I always bring my own but when I went to Italy last summer I didn't want to risk blowing anything up - I just used my hotel's hair dryer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
