Barcelona Electrical Plugs??

[kjg46]

We will be staying in Barcelona, pre-cruse. Do I need any special plugs etc to recharge my photo batteries via standard battery charger for camera?

 

Thanks,

Been there several times. You will need an adaptor/converter plug as I believe the current is 220/240.....We purchased a set of converter/adaptor plugs many years ago - but now just carry the one that we need for Europe. If you do not have the converter/adaptor plug, check with the front desk at the hotel and they can most likely provide.

 

The ship (unless it's a European cruise line) will have U.S. type electrical system - so no need for adaptor/converter plug.

 

Never forget our first trip to UK....I had a dual voltage hair dryer, iron and curling iron. I checked into my room and was in a hurry to press my evening outfit - forgot to switch the "dual voltage" to 220/240 - left it set at 110/120 - what a POP that made! Fortunately, it didn't ruin the iron. But I played heck trying to find another little fuse for the thing (yes, there was a fuse in the plug).

 

Always check in Europe before plugging in anything to be sure you've got the right connection.

 

.....and have fun.

The hotel will lend you a adapter with a $5.00 deposit you get when you return it.
