Can anyone please tell me whether the QE2 takes UK style 3 pin plugs or US style plugs?

 

Thanks,

Both. I've heard quantity of sockets isn't huge for the smaller cabins, but you will definitely have at least one of each.

Even the larger Caronia have one of each, as do smaller Mauretania. I don't think size matters!!!

Well, you get a lot more in a Q1......

 

And certainly more than one in a Q2....

Yes to the UK style socket(s), but I did find it was not very conveniently located. In the M6 cabin I had, it was in the same panel as the bedside light, the TV power and Ariel (sp?) sockets. To use any thing more than the standard plug required removing the TV power (at least).

Luckily I had taken a short, 2 way extension for my camara battery charger, which is a box for the batteries with 3 prongs stuck on (i.e. without a separate plug or transformer) and was 4 to 6 inches long ! :eek:

I think I read on board that extensions are available (either from steward or pursers desk)

Is the power 110 or 220 on the QE 2?

As far as English electricals are concerned then the supply is exactly what you get at home.

 

The two pin sockets are at 110v, at least according to the website......

Hi Matt

 

The UK style 3-pin sockets are 230v and the US style outlets 2-pin are 110v. As others have said: there are not loads of them, a couple of each in most M & C cabins. Also the UK sockets are "hidden" on the side of the mirror above the dresser. The US ones are below the mirror.

 

The TVs are NTSC (US standard) if you are going to be using them for camcorder playback.
