pinacoladasatpianobar Posted December 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I cruised on Carnival Horizon and my hair straightener wouldn’t work. I tried to take it to multiple outlets but nothing. My curling wand worked, though. What hair straighteners do you have that work on cruise ships? Need to avoid my hair frizzing from the heat at all costs!! Edited December 12, 2018 by Danca4eva1994 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted December 12, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2018 My wife has an HSI Professional, works on either 110V or 220V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted December 12, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Was this a Dyson product? I've seen reports of Dyson hair products not working on ships. I've contacted their technical department to see if the floating ground could be an issue, but they never responded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was Remington. I was advised to try and bring it to the spa bathroom but it didn't work in there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvetwater Posted December 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Check where your appliance is from. European voltage is higher the North America so that can affect things. Easiest way round this for most cruisers is to travel with a multi adaptor in your bag for most plug sockets but especially US/EU ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted December 13, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Did you look to see if there’s a switch on your hair straightener that toggles between 110 and 220? There’s usually a 110 and a 220 outlet and you have to be sure your appliance matches the outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie7911922 Posted December 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I have a Remington. I use mine on board all the time. Double check to make sure you are using the right outlet for your straightener (110/220V). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
