Rare ghstudio Posted February 19, 2013 Author #826 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The hair dryers provided by Celebrity are the type where you have to hold down the button for them to run....which can be difficult/awkward for some. If you want a "normal" hair dryer that turns on, you might want to bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a CC cabin ... saw no plugs except at desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alliebrandy Posted February 20, 2013 #828 Share Posted February 20, 2013 There is a plug in the bathroom also. I like to sit at the desk/vanity area to do/dry my hair, as bathroom is often quite steamy and hot.

I'm thinking i better pack my own. anyone know if this is the case on equinox?/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinabout Posted February 20, 2013 #831 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have fine hair so don't find the in-cabin hairdryers too bad but, have had them overheat and temporarily cut off. And yes, these days, always have to hold down the button to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muushka Posted February 20, 2013 #832 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I noticed those pain in the neck hairdryers this past Dec and I don't remember having to work so hard to dry my hair in previous cruises. They are awful. But I don't think you can bring your own, aren't they on the list of things banned? However, to make up for the awful hair dryer, we did have the best smoothie ever.;) Tip: Try the banana smoothies for breakfast. The best. And I am not even a huge fan of bananas!

alliebrandy Posted February 20, 2013 #834 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I always bring my own haie dryer with me. The ones on the ships are not strong enough to dry my hair as it's very thick. I have never had an issue with bringing it. I actually leave it out on the dresser visible to all.

Harvey Posted February 20, 2013 #835 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I always bring a power strip with at least 4 inputs --to keep the cell phone, lap top, cameras, etc fully charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartan terror Posted February 20, 2013 #836 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I always bring a power strip with at least 4 inputs --to keep the cell phone, lap top, cameras, etc fully charged. Harvey, Does your power strip have only the 2 flat prongs or has it 2 flat and 1 round? That is what I bought as USA power strip and I'm confused now.

That is what I bought as USA power strip and I'm confused now. Power strips usually have 2 flats and 1 round. If you have something that has 2 flats, that will fit and just leave the 1 round empty. However if you have something that requires the 2 flats and 1 round and you only have the 2 flats, that won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muushka Posted February 20, 2013 #838 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sounds wonderful!! Where can I find it? I'm so sorry, I should have said where the wonderful banana smoothies come from.

swtp596 Posted February 20, 2013 #839 Share Posted February 20, 2013 How about the package where they get a bottle of bubbly, rose petals in a heart shape on their bed and some chocolate covered strawberries? Friends of our received that for their anniversary, and they were thrilled. I'm not sure of the price, but it would be less than $100. A photo of themselves would be nice too. Not sure if Celebrity has it (RCCL did) a "special cruise" photo album and possibly some "special" photos to add to it .... IF not offered by X, how about buying an engraved (with wedding date or cruise info) photo album and then buying "photo" package onboard ... those costs add up quickly & maybe they could get more than they initially planned. Thanks for all of the great ideas. Sorry I couldn't quote everyone that I really wanted to thank. I have some choices to make now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KylFrakes Posted February 21, 2013 #840 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Here is the link to the company that organises Tuxedo hire.... I am sure somewhere that it says you MAy be able to get one onboard but is limited supply http://www.cruiselineformal.com/ Hope that helps I love to rent the tuxedo. Two nights of less packing. For a little extra style I reccoment renting an extra shirt and a different color vest/tie combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LodgeLady Posted February 22, 2013 #846 Share Posted February 22, 2013 First timeccruiser on Celebrity..... Can OBC be used for Bingo? Does the Casino take real money or does it get charged back onto your shipboard credit card? Is there a Casino coupon out on the internet for Celebrity like there is for NCL?

panoramaofthepast Posted February 22, 2013 #849 Share Posted February 22, 2013 As long as you're both Elite, then you both get the free minutes and the laundry benefit. On our last cruise, we had not read the laundry coupon carefully, and we almost missed the deadline. The Captain's Club hostess called and left us voice mail to remind us! Well, not just us, I'm sure, but all Elites. Nice touch, she was a great hostess and although I can picture her as though she were right here next to me, I cannot remember her name!! It never occurred to me that we would each get the laundry and Internet benefit. Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
