crochetcruise Posted August 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sorry just noticed you're in Melb, make that Safeways. And the current will be 110. THANK YOU BOTH! I knew about the current being different, but got confused about Aus/US. I thought I needed to put a US/AUS adaptor in the powerpoint BEFORE connecting my powerboard to charge the laptop, camera, extra battery charger and mobile phone safely. I was told by the computer technician that the new Toshiba laptop would handle both currents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted August 25, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi. Thanks for the replies. Does anyone have a picture of the adaptor I need to use? Thanks again Suexxx I don't have a picture Sue but any of the stores will know if you tell them it's for a Us socket, they are also pretty clearly marked.

crochetcruise Posted August 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I don't have a picture Sue but any of the stores will know if you tell them it's for a Us socket, they are also pretty clearly marked. THANK YOU! Your information is really helpful for someone like me who has absolutely NO idea about technical and electrical stuff but knows just enough to realise I need to ask questions! With Dad being a Volunteer Fireman, I've heard some horror stories about unattended electrical items like hairdryers left on bed causing fires, so will NOT[/b] be charging anything electrical unless I am in the Suite. Paranoid? Yes! I've also noted to check with Telstra about charging the phone when travelling, think for 3 days using it just as an alarm clock, I'd get away with charging it at my cousins' property on the Thursday night, then connecting at the Melbourne Hotel after I get back from a supermarket shop for something cold for my tea. It's much cheaper, and I know I'll eat the lot! Can go on the website re the camera-it's a Sony Cybershot. I do want to get another battery, so could be cheeky and go to the camera place to get it, and ask about charging the battery with 110 volt power, do I need anything or is this camera, no physical manual provided, dual-voltage? Oh, I've just found it will charge via USB so I'd better find out what cord I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted August 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi. Thanks for the replies. Does anyone have a picture of the adaptor I need to use? Thanks again Suexxx I would get a small kit that includes adapters which cover just about every outlet type in the world. Will only use one of them on the ship, but others may come in handy on future travels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulette Posted November 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I've read the thread regarding the adapters for the Golden Princess, very helpful, thank you, but just found out that there are 2 types of US adapters - 2 or 3 prongs. Will that be an issue on the Golden Princess or will either work? Edited November 16, 2015 by Boulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted November 16, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Golden has two US outlets at the vanity. Both two prongs. They are very close together. Regular plugs will work, but aren't able to get use iPhone 'wall warts' in both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted November 16, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The two outlets at the desk are 3-prong. A 2-prong will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suexxx Posted November 19, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi. Back from Golden last week. The 3prong adaptor would not work at the desk. We used a 2prong in the bathroom to charge our phone. You can hire an adaptor with a $20 deposit which is refundable. We tried our 2prong at the desk but it didn;t work.

Suexxx We cruised on the Golden in Oct and used both a 2 and 3 prong adapter in the desk sockets for our phones without any issues. We didn't use the socket in the bathroom for anything though.

Rare Womble99 Posted November 21, 2015 #25 Share Posted November 21, 2015 double adapter Korjo US to Aust/NZ Not sure what benefit the double adapter version give with the plug setup on Golden (it covers both sockets) aside from only taking one adapter instead of 2 singles? For some reason they put the pins in the middle of the adapter instead of to one side so you can't have a left and right version to get 4 devices from 2 sockets :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
