Hair drier in cabins...

[jayscore]

Does anyone out there have a picture of the "top drawer, or bathroom hair drier*"? I've seen on past cruises?

Thanks in advance!;)

*Or, is it "dryer"

I don't have a picture but I can tell you that you have to hold the button the entire time to keep it running.

I can tell you from experience, unless you have short hair. fuhgeddaboutit. Those hair dryers don't have enough juice to dry your hair properly. The last time I tried to use one, I gave up after about half an hour of trying to get my thick, mid-back length hair dry because my arms were tired from holding it and I was getting a cramp in my hand from trying to keep the button pressed down.

I have short hair. And I think it's the worst! The cord is ridiculously short. I bring my own.

 

Sorry no pictures!

Really great info.

Thank you.

I have long hair and have used the dryer on 3 ships. No problems at all. I use a hair elastic to keep the button pressed.

They'd be good to dry perhaps a little kids hair, don't blow hard or hot.

Good idea!

My kids use it no problem, my hair is too long and would take forever.

My hair is longer but one time I decided to try the one in the cabin. I had to run it for so long that it overheated. Guess what? It has an automatic shutoff that kicks in if the dryer overheats! You have to wait for it to cool down. And my hair wasn't dry yet. Fortunately I had my own dryer. Lesson learned. I always take mine now.

You've been on 8 cruises. Why in the world do you need a picture:confused:

I thought that you weren't able to bring your own. Do you need a converter?

Only one time I used their blow dryer. I've been bringing my own since. Never had to use a converter. Blow dryers are permitted.

You can definitely bring your own hair dryer.

[JaneAustenite]

Great! My hair takes forever to dry, so, now that I know, I plan on bringing my own.

Good question, actually.....

Would you believe I want to clamp that nasty momentary button, being an arthritic hand has a tough time holding onto it for any length of time?(I'm sure I'll be getting some grief on this, for one reason or the other, eh?)

Simple as that.;)

Thanks for asking, though!

That makes perfect sense, even without arthritis I find that button to be quite annoying. I would bring a few wide, thick, rubber bands (like the kind that come wrapped around asparagus at the grocery store) and try wrapping that over the button to keep it depressed. Maybe with a hair and wrapped over the rubber band for added strength. I think the hair band would probably slip off on its own.

 

Alternatively, you can get a very small inexpensive travel hair dryer that switches on and off and bring that with you. They don't take up much room.
