WeeCountyMan Posted September 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I stumbled on this European Travel Adaptor with 2 USB charging ports in our local B&M store (bottom shelf, nearly missed it) recently priced @ £6.99.......good bargain. Apologies for the photo quality - having an Olympus camera doesn't make me David Bailey !!! Cautionary note.......the earth connection is at the North position so it'll not fit sockets on Spirit (or Celebration presumably) where that pin is at South, and there is insufficient space between the socket and the horizontal surface below to accommodate the adaptor. Not sure about other Thomsons ships. We are off on Majesty soon - hope it works - even if not it'll be a useful item for hotels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any near you ? I'm geographically challenged !!! Similar devices on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeholiday2 Posted September 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks WCM. A good bit of kit that, esp as the USB is 2 amp, should charge quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually willing to keep on aside if you call up ahead of visiting. Hope you are successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm geographically challenged !!! Similar devices on Ebay. This looks a great bit of kit - I'm in Somerset but not far from Tiverton so may have to pop over. Thanks!

WeeCountyMan Posted September 21, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Strange it's not on their website - here is a possible alternative if you can't locate a store with stock. http://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/eveready-usb-travel-adapter-295707 No socket for UK plugged device though.........however it has wider geographical use (including here) - and £3 off the original price !!! I feel another visit to B&M coming on !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila49 Posted September 21, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thought it would be on their website WCM. It said Worldwide on the front of the packaging and it did have a UK socket and 2 USBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCountyMan Posted September 21, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Sheila - the one I flagged up (see thread opener) is not worldwide, it's only for Euro sockets. Perhaps we are talking about different products ? Edited September 21, 2015 by WeeCountyMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila49 Posted September 21, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Probably WCM. I assumed worldwide meant it could be used anywhere and that was why it was dearer. I'm not very tech minded![emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCountyMan Posted September 21, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Logical (and correct) assumption !!! Two different products it would appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shot2bits Posted September 22, 2015 #20 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I got this one and used every day on our recent cruise; https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T720XBI/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Cruiser2 Posted September 22, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The newer ships are now incorporating both US and European type sockets and USB sockets. Maybe Thomson will move this way during refits. http://s972.photobucket.com/user/bump170/media/2015%20QUANTUM/FEDE4C75-32F2-4495-904F-766C51267CB3_zpsnvvxoo8e.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
