Muckyduckway Posted May 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2016 We are first time cruisers, sailing on Marina on a Baltic Cruise. We have loads of questions, but think they are best asked on separate threads so our starter for five is... How many sockets of each type are in a standard cabin (veranda): US and European? Where are they positioned - bathroom, dressing table, etc? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted May 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) This is for Riviera so a summing same as Marina. On the desk you have two US plugs and 1 Euro. Euro plug next to phone and Us plugs are near the lamp. One US plug above each night stand. Edited May 25, 2016 by PaulMCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckyduckway Posted May 25, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks Paul, that's better than some hotels. Sounds like we're good to go electrically. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titong Posted May 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Is there is a US outlet socket in the bathroom. If so where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted May 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Is there is a US outlet socket in the bathroom. If so where? Yes there is a US/Euro outlet above the sink -- adjacent to the toilet. This where they usually have the night light plugged into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie60 Posted June 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just off Marina and the plugs on the bedsides were European, not US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillygirl63 Posted June 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2016 On Marina last August. I believe the outlet in the bathroom is a low voltage outlet for electric shavers, and could not be used for hairdryers or other higher voltage electric hair styling devices. I had to plug in everything at the desk outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Nit Noy Posted June 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Just off Marina and the plugs on the bedsides were European, not US. For someone who needs to plug in something at the bedside. (A C-pap comes to mind.) Bring an adapter. Presto. Change-o. A US compatible plug. Edited June 2, 2016 by Pet Nit Noy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to plug in everything at the desk outlets. Just to clarify your comment, it is NOT lower voltage, it is US 110 voltage the same as US outlets, just the wiring and probably the circuit breaker will only carry a lower current, i.e. lower wattage/amperage. That is why it works with shavers which don't draw much current compared to higher current devices. It's like most of your home circuits are 15 amps and the US plugs in your stateroom are 15 amps but, the plug in the bathroom is probably 5 amps. You can look on all of your appliances, hair dryers, shavers, etc. and see that the voltage is the same but, the amperage and wattage vary.
