Yehootu Posted February 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My wife took her water pic with her on our last cruise on the Royal and we needed to ask room steward for an extension cord. It was kind of a pain to get it out and stretch from the desk everytime she needed it. Can you use an adapter in the bathroom, seems to me something about the plug was only for electric razors.

DCThunder Posted February 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2023 The plug has a drawing of an electric razor on it, but it appears to be a normal US style plug. I'd think a Water Pik would plug in there without an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have been on the Royal, but that doesn't tell us which ship you will be on next time. If another class ship, then Google image the ship name and bathroom electrical. A photo shows a US 110v U-ground available on the Royal. Why a water pick wouldn't work, I don't know. If a Grand Class, as I recall, there was a two prong 110v or a type C at the sink. You couldn't plug both in at the same time. Coral Class? I have no idea. Whatever, just Google it. Edited February 17, 2023 by mtnesterz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted February 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2023 We always plugged an electric toothbrush in the bathroom. Don't see why a water pik would be any different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted February 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2023 The power outlet in the bathroom does not have enough capacity for a Water Pik. We know this first-hand. Those outlets are designed for low current-draw devices like a small electric razor or a toothbrush battery charger. Your Water Pik might run for a few seconds but you won't like the sound and then it will stop. On our cruise packing list is a long light-weight extension cord for our Water Pik. Kind of a pain always taking it out and putting it back for dental hygiene time. Hey but at least we've all got healthy teeth and gums as well as fresh breath!

vjmatty Posted February 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I bought a cordless rechargeable waterpik for cruising…it’s ok, my only complaint is that you have to work fast because the water chamber is small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted February 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I agree that it doesn’t work in the bathroom outlet, at least ours didn’t. One year we took an older one and used it in combination with the wastebasket by the vanity in the cabin (and then threw it out when we disembarked) but we generally take a battery operated rechargeable one.

chengkp75 Posted February 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The bathroom razor outlet is limited to 40 milliamps, or about 5 watts. Check your waterpik or toothbrush fine print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey42 Posted February 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I brought a Waterpik for the first time on my recent Enchanted Princess cruise. My unit said 14 watts. I was not sure of the amperage limitation on the shaver outlet, so I brought it anyway to try. The shaver outlet would not accept the polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) on my Waterpik, so I never got to try it in the bathroom. I ended up using it at the desk outlet and spit the water into a drinking glass I borrowed from the buffet. Not the perfect solution, but it solved the issue. .

CapnCrews Posted February 18, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2023 A cruise might seem like a good place for a little bag of horseshoe floss picks, yeah? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Amazon: https://a.co/d/iAdsfwV On sale this week at Target: https://www.target.com/p/waterpik-cordless-plus-water-flosser/-/A-10718093 They are available at different price points. As has been mentioned here, you’ll probably have to refill the water container at least one time per use, but you’re in the bathroom anyway so it’s easy to do. We use it in addition to flossing and even add peroxide to the water. Peroxide is quite hard to find in many countries.

triple7tahoe Posted February 18, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 18, 2023 My wife has now brought two cordless waterpicks-First had a small tank, as has been mentioned. Second one much bigger tank she got on Amazon and could not be happier, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yehootu Posted February 18, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted February 18, 2023 She went right to Amazon and found one. She says she isn't concerned about refilling. I'll just bring a large bag of dental floss pics. Those darn implants seem to catch everything. Thx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also use peroxide prior to brushing and thought we could pick up some in Southampton. No such luck. Hate to pack that big bottle from home but for longer cruises it’s the only choice.
