Cell phones ??

[marydallas]

I wondered if I can charge my cell phone while on board a cruise ship??? We're going on the Westerdam and I will need it after we disembark. Appreciate your answers. Thank you. Mary

Why not, if you bring the charger. They have USA type plugs.

Yes Mary you can. I charged ours several times so they were fully charged for arriving in port.

No worries - though avoid using it on-board - for incoming or outgoing - if you value your solvency.

 

And bear in mind that there's often only one spare socket in a cabin, whereas you're likely to have phones, cameras, I-pads etc. So bring a short extension lead with three or four sockets.:)

Just want to thank you for your reply. good info for me. We are hardly "literate" with the new "electronic" world, so one outlet will be plenty. Happy sails. Mary

Absolutely you can charge the phone.

 

Most people can manage with the one outlet but if you want to charge more then one item at once we take a portable outlet strip with us.

 

We use this one.

Yes but just remember to leave your phone in airplane mode for the entire time you are on the ship or you may have some very high bills.
