Are There 3-Prong US Power Outlets in Insignia Balcony Cabins?

[Smokeyham]

Hello,

I was watching this video of a cabin tour of Balcony Cabin 6085 on Insignia.  At location 0:33 on the video it shows the power outlet beside the bed, which show a two prong outlet that would seem to take either an American or a European plug (picture below)?  

 

My computer takes a 3-prong US plug for charging.  Do I need to take an adapter to convert a 3-prong US to a 2-Prong US plug, or is there another location, perhaps at the desk, where there are 3-prong US outlets?

 

Many thanks.

This video shows three prong plugs at the desk on an Insignia balcony stateroom.  look for it at 1:12 on the video.

Thanks..... I also later saw those in a post-refit, so we should be good to go.  Thank you for sharing that.

You can always just break off the third prong on your cord; no real issue.

It never hurts to be prepared, so I keep one of those grounded to ungrounded adapters in my computer case just in case...

I carry a couple of the european adapters.  Most plug in chargers will say 120/220 or something like that. Same goes for usb chargers though most ships have dedicated outlets for those.

From previous posts I understand there are 3-prong plugs on board at the desk, but also carrying a European adapter would add to the number of available plugs.

You can also get a small inexpensive power strip like this one:  

 

 

 

It is less than $6.00 on Amazon.  Make sure if you get any power strip that it doesn't have a surge protector.  I don't understand why but I've heard ship electrical systems don't get along too well with surge protectors.  The above one doesn't have surge protection.  See it here:

Yes.... Surge protectors are not allowed on board.  I like this one from Amazon that has three USB outlets and two US e-prong outlets.
