2xsin12mths Posted October 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Is the hairdryer on Horizon (in Havana) the same wattage as every other Carnival hairdryer (nonexistent). I hate adding weight to my luggage since we only take 1 carryon each when we cruise now. I was on Ecstasy in April and that blow dryer was horrible!!

PhillyFan33579 Posted October 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2018 From my experience the hair dryers on every Carnival ship are basically the same. For that reason my wife always brings a hair dryer when we go on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand suites on the Sensation and cove balconies on the Dream had a different hair dryer than the upper/lower portholes on the Triumph when I was on those ships. The Sensation and the Dream had a normal hair dryer in a desk drawer. The Triumph had what looked like wall-mounted vacuum cleaners in the bathroom. The hair dryer on the Triumph wasn't very good. It got my long hair from dripping wet to just somewhat wet. A towel worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RW_MI Posted October 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Are they really that bad? Hate to bring one more thing if I don't really need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your hair and how fast you want the job done. My hair is barely shoulder length and not thick at all. Dries well enough for me in 3-4 minutes. My granddaughter with VERY thick hair below her shoulders takes quite a bit longer. Will it work? Sure. How patient are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert64 Posted October 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It would be a drastic waste of my time getting ready to spend so much time using that puny dryer. If you have any length or thickness to your hair, I'd suggest bringing your own. The ones on board (and in hotel rooms) tend to be a joke, and it's not like I have top of the line, salon level hair blow dryers at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted October 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It has nothing to do with wattage, because a home hair dryer works just fine. They are crappy hair driers. I don't use one, but my wife always brings her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPlayWithString Posted October 30, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have long, thick hair and I refuse to use their hair dryers to try and get my hair dry. It's not worth it. I dry my hair as much as I can with a towel and then do one of three things--throw it up in a ponytail, throw it up in a bun or braid it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted October 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The hairdryers on the Horizon are actually better. I noticed a definite improvement compared to the other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
