diane.in.ny Posted August 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Was going through my adapters for upcoming Australia trip and according to my kit, I have an adapter for Australia where the flat prongs are angled ...like a V. But when I see adapters for Australia online, they have the two prongs forming a V plus a vertical prong above the V. The ones I have don't have the vertical plug. Do I need to buy different adapters? And, yes, my electrical items are all dual voltage so I know I don't need a converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisamoorings Posted August 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The wall sockets have the three holes but most electrical items that are plugged in only have the two slanted prongs. Yours will work fine. Sent from my SM-G570Y using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pisamoorings Posted August 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Happy cruising [emoji3] We're doing a Panama cruise next month so was also checking our adaptors to see what we needed for the trip and have concluded we need the two vertical straight pins, plus dual voltage of course.

Sent from my iPad using Forums Exactly. We've done the canal twice and loved it. If you have time, try to read Path Between the Seas before you go. Excellent history of the canal and really helped me appreciate it. (Assume you are going through the old locks?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
