Such great advice, thanks jsn55! Yes, my 'hair styler' is a rotating hot air brush -- gives the same 'just stepped out of a salon' blowout as just stepping out of a salon but without the price tag, and I can't do my hair any other way. I've seen another thread that gives very conflicting advice, quoting Cunard's own rules that also seem to be conflicting; Use of electrical appliances. Passengers are not permitted to bring on board irons, kettles or appliances with heating elements, however hair dryers, straighteners and curling tongs are permitted. See https://my.cunard.com/en-gb/mycruise/articles/warnings?otprrf=1 But also; The on board electrical systems in your stateroom do not support high-current electronics. We provide lower current hair dryers in all staterooms and irons are available in our laundrettes. Please do not pack your own iron as this will not be permitted on board. So I was a bit confused. I think I'll take it with me and ask when on board - I'd hate to blow the electrics like someone else we won't mention 😉 May I finally ask what the MDR is please? And would you recommend booking an 'open' dining time or the late sitting for our party of two? Thanks so much for replying to my first question though.

Embarking on our first cruise ever, and it's for 49 days sailing from Southampton to Sydney. Feeling rather brave at jumping in at the deep end. Anyway, reading the 'what to pack' guidelines I've learned that hair dryers are not permitted as the on board electrical systems don't support high-current electronics. I would like to pack a hair styler but have no idea what a high or low current electronic is or what current my styler uses. Does anyone know what amp/watt/whatever the power outlets in the staterooms allow? Thanks in advance.
