romy Posted July 5, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Packing question...Does the Pearl have decent, hand-held hair dryers or is the 5 watt wall-mounted, "Honey, I'll be done in a couple of hours" :rolleyes: number? I usually bring my own, but am learning to pack light if at all possible. BTW, I lurked over on the fashion & beauty forum and figured checking specifically with NCL/Pearl might be a better option. Thanks! Happy Sailing!!! Romy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F5Loar Posted July 5, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2007 We packed ours and found we didn't need it. The ones in the rooms are the big ones and did a nice job. Now we don't have long, long hair but felt this was probalby the best in room on the wall hairdryer we've seen in any ship or land hotel. That's saying something! Leave it at home.

ute_fan Posted July 5, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'd recommend leaving your's home too. We sailed the Pearl in May and the one in the cabin was fine. My hair's fairly short, but very thick, and I had no trouble at all with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitheone Posted July 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2007 *waving at Ute_fan* I was also on the Pearl in May and was pleasantly surprised by the dryer. My hair is long (mid-back) and thick and takes a while to dry under the most arid conditions, but it did the job. I had brought along my own megadryer, just in case, and ended up regretting taking up valuable luggage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute_fan Posted July 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi blitheone :) Don't you wish you were going again? We've suffering through a heat wave here in Utah. Daytime temps in the 95 - 100 range, and I'm thinking that nice cool Alaska weather would feel good about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser82 Posted July 5, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I don't know if this helps or not but here is a picture of the hairdryer that was in the childrens room (my room) of the AB suite. I don't know what category room you have but I'm assuming the hairdryers are the same regardless of the room. I didn't use it myself so I can't comment on how well it works.

3beagles Posted July 5, 2007 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I brought my own because I need the cool button. I turned on the one in the cabin and it seemed really powerful. Would've been great if not for the missing cool button. Pretty sure it's the one in the picture in the post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romy Posted July 6, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thanks everybody! That settles it; mine will stay parked. I really appreciate all your help and the picture. BTW, 3Beagles-hi there, I have 1 beagle-Baxter, are they great or what? There seems to be a few beagle-fans around here.;) Happy Sailing!!!

That one looks like it can get the job done. I have one less thing to pack now.....! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser82 Posted July 6, 2007 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2007 You're welcome! My mom thought I was crazy to take pictures of things like the hair dryer but I knew it would be useful one day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnam0n Posted July 6, 2007 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I was pleasantly surprised, too. Another great thing about it is that it's NOT in the bathroom! You can get out of everybody's way instead of taking up valuable bathroom space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8301118 Posted August 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The picture of the hair dryer was a big help. I have curly hair and I see that all I need is my diffuser. What bathroom amenities are supplied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8301118 Posted August 21, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 21, 2013 What amenities are provided in the bathroom. Am sailing on the Pearl in a mini-suite stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingfish Posted November 11, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I am sailing on the pearl and wanted to know if the dryer was in the bathroom or in the bedroom. Fingers Crossed its in the bedroom so we can both be getting ready at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
