Ehg Posted June 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me? We are sailing on Eclipse on Sunday and I have packing on my mind - of course! This is our first time with Celebrity and I am wondering what the hair dryers are like in the cabins please? Our internet at home is not working - disaster! So I hope someone might be able to help in the next hours or so while I have Internet access.....? Thank you! Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzzzinma Posted June 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) They have small hair dryers that blow hot or hotter air and have a button that has to be held down to operate. They are not great but they work. I don't take my hair dryer with me because I don't want the weight or the space needed to carry it.

Redtravel Posted June 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Unless you have very short hair, bring yours. I got tired of holding the button in. It hurts. I have used a large rubber band. However, the hairdryer is weak. I have short hair. I got so annoyed using the dryer that I let my hair air dry. If you have room, bring your own.

jelayne Posted June 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I never bring my hairdryer. The only problem with the hair dryer is that you have to continua hold down the button. I bring a couple of wide rubber bands and that does the trick. FYI I have medium length hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted June 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Got fed up of the hairdryer on my first every X cruise. I find my hair dries really well on the balcony with an accompanying glass of wine. Does not dry into correct style without the wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted June 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have a strip of velcro that I wrap around the hair dryer and it keeps the switch on. Used it the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on the hair dryer on the Infinity after the first try. My hair is really long and thick so I ended up just twisting it up wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not dry into correct style without the wine! Excellent answer. Wish I had thought of that. Have never had an issue with hair dryer on any cruise, least of my concerns.

Some people do have issues with the hairdryers, I'm so happy that you don't, wondering why you gave us your thoughts if you couldn't care less though. See you Sunday Ehg, looking forward to it.

artlovr Posted June 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi! I bring my own. The dryers I've used in the past are not hot enough and I like to get the hair drying chore done ASAP. I bring a small travel dryer with lots of heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LF2C Posted June 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I don't have hair :D Seriously, my wife takes her own. Bought a very lightweight travel dryer in Boots last year and declared it was better and more powerful than the one she uses at home.................don't forget your adapters :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted June 12, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I have a good and small travel dryer that takes almost no space.I like for my hair to look good on a cruise but the one on the ship takes way to long.Invest in a good one once and you will have it for life !!!!

Ehg Posted June 13, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thank you for all the replies. Adapters! We're used to sailing with P&O so I hadn't thought of that! Yikes, hope I can find one...... I love your solution to the rubbish hair dryer problem, chemmo, that sounds a very good plan. I have shoulder length hair but I am very lazy so the balcony + wine seems to be the perfect solution. See you tomorrow dwhe. Can't wait. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted June 13, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My travel hairdryer did not need an adapter last year on the Reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerInduktionator Posted June 13, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My hair would go about half way down my back if untied. I think it gets frizzy if I use any heat at all, my complaint with most hotel hair dryers is they have just one super hot setting. Luckily sometimes a button you can hold down to keep it at the cool setting. I'm not a wine drinker, so I think beer and the balcony might work for me.

Celebrity have US plug sockets so you'll need US adapters. Best get a few for all your electric stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted June 13, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Beer and hair drying on the balcony is effective but only with bottled beer. Cans result in excessive fizziness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerInduktionator Posted June 13, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Beer and hair drying on the balcony is effective but only with bottled beer. Cans result in excessive fizziness! There's only one canned beer I ever have, that's Guinness. I've only ever seen it in cans here, I have no idea if it even comes in bottles. Otherwise I always prefer glass, even for soft drinks.
