sjde Posted November 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I forgot my converter for my hair appliance- just have an adapter. Though they are a U.S. company , I think the European river ships use European voltage? Does anyone know if the ship can loan me one or should I try to buy one in Basel?

CPT Trips Posted November 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'd gamble on borrowing one on the ship. Basel is wicked expensive, you'll likely save a bundle buying at your first stop, particularly if that is Strasbourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted November 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2014 You might be able to pick one up at an airport, perhaps during a stopover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb222 Posted November 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ask the ship company if hair dryers are permitted on the ship before you buy one. cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjde Posted November 22, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Why wouldn't they be? They often have blow dryers there but not very powerful ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjde Posted November 25, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It's a good thing I didn't bring my converter. I was told it wouldn't have worked and possibly might've caused a fire or damaged my equipment! That the voltage on the ship is different than on land. So they gave me this big black box converter to use that was about 5 pounds. However, it didn't work either. My hairdryer went on for a second and then went off - I hope it's not ruined. ( I had to bring my own blow dryer along because the diffuser attachment fits on that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
