Thanks Kaz Yes! bring your own Blow dryer if you are used to blow drying your hair. The Princess Blow Dryers will work in a pinch but they are not the best. I much prefer my own :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazda Posted May 21, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info. I'm travelling from Australia with my own pillow, so might as well bring my hairdryer. So glad it's allowed :) EDIT. Hubby just said as the voltage is different my 240volt won't work as well as it does at home.. So now I'll buy one at Walmart etc when I arrive in US.

GUT2407 Posted May 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Mrs Gut takes her own, says the ones they supply suck rather than blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Either that or bring a converter. A converter, unless you get one that convers the voltage and tend to be heavy and expensive, won't change the voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hubbys an electrician so he's on the ball with this. It's easier to buy a hair dryer when we arrive in US. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted May 21, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2016 You can get a decent hair dryer in the US for anywhere from $20 up. I'd just get one. The important thing is how much power it has and this is clearly noted on the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted May 21, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2016 So much better to buy one here in the US. I have my own hairdryer and curling iron that I bought at "Boots" in England. I bring those with me when I go England, and I think I can use them in Australia in 2018 when we travel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted May 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The price of a good converter, which is heavy, is about the same as a inexpensive hair dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellbeachjim Posted May 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Mrs Gut takes her own, says the ones they supply suck rather than blow. According to the popular vernacular, I guess that means they suck and blow simultaneously... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginnyfyr Posted May 22, 2016 #18 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Definitely bring your own/buy one in the US! We just got off the Star this morning and the in-cabin hair dryer was awful. I attempted to use to to dry a water spot on my top one night and even on high, it was pathetic. It would have taken me days to dry my hair with that thing, lol. While you're at Walmart (or wherever) buying your hair dryer, grab a power bar, too. There were only two plugs in our cabin so our power bar came in handy - I was able to dry my hair, heat my straightener, and charge my camera battery all at the same time.

Just make sure the power bar does not have a surge protector. Ship grounding and land grounding are vastly different. Land surge protectors are a fire hazard onboard.
