Steamers

[wpas1]

I know you can’t bring steamers onboard but I have a crazy question.  We are continuing our vacation for 3 weeks after our cruise and wondering if we turn in our steamer when boarding will we be able to get it back at the end of the cruise?  We will be disembarking in Singapore if that makes a difference.

Yes. All items confiscated or turned in will be ready for you to pick up after leaving the ship. Usually a table in the terminal is set up for this.

Is your steamer 230 V and 50 Hz?

I am assuming 110V, does it make a difference?

Are you staying in Singapore? Singapore is 230 V and uses a UK style plug. Most of the rest of the Pacific in that area (maybe all) is 230 V, and they vary in plug type. 

 

You can't use a US 110V steamer in most of the rest of the world.

I carry an adapter everywhere.

So multi-voltage steamer, not 110V? The adapter doesn't change the voltage and most portable converters don't support the wattage of a steamer. If you've done this before around the world, you probably have the right pieces of equipment. Otherwise you're going to carry a beautiful fire hazard that will fry the first time you plug it in...

It’s technically a converter.   Thanks for your concern, I have used it in Europe and Asia with no issues.

We were just on the silhouette, and on disembarking saw a table by the door loaded with them waiting to be reclaimed

Adapter is not the same as a voltage converter

good luck

Of course if you're talking summer in Singapore, there will be plenty of steam without a steamer...

is this 1908?  (I thought you were referring to a steamer trunk)

Me too…then I revised it to a “steamer trunk” and finally got to the real item
