Hair Dryer Wattage

[Jules59]

No idea where to ask this, but does anyone know what the wattage is on the blow dryers on the new Sky Princess? Sorry if I should have posted this somewhere else.

Curious why you want to know.

I would think she would want to know if the wattage was sufficient to dry her hair or whether she should bring her own dryer.

For specifics, you should try the Princess board and see if anyone who has sailed recently has noted this information - better chance there than here, probably.

And if someone finds out why OP wants to know then that person and perhaps others learn something new. Which I try to do every day.

I agree with wanting to learn new things, but it just seems obvious why anyone would ask about hair dryer wattage.

I am curious, because I want to know if I needed to bring my own blow dryer. Maybe I should ask this on the Princess board. Thank you.

@Jules59 I don't know the wattage, but if you are particular about your dryer and have space I would bring your own.  Many lines have a style of dryer that is very hot, but not a strong "blow" and you have to hold the button down to keep power.  I'm not very picky about my hair so it works for me, but it was frustrating trying to do my daughter's hair (much thicker) when she cruised with us last summer on Anthem of the Seas.

Thank you pacruise804 maybe I should. I appreciate you're advice.

you have to hold the button down

I actually posted about that. I HATE that 🙂

I bring a thick rubber band on trips where I know I'll have that type of dryer (only one I can recall but I can't remember what ship it was - possibly Azamara?). The thick band is usually enough to hold the button down.  Thick rubber bands = the kind you see on broccoli, for example ;-)

Read about this suggestion some time ago so just keep one in my toilet article bag. I have only used it one time and I too don’t recall which ship.
