irene1127 Posted April 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I've seen converters listed on threads as a "must have" item to pack. Since the Sun uses 110 volt, has anyone used 120 volt items on the Sun without a converter? I'll need for curling iron, hot rollers, sound machine - items like that.

lgfromdg Posted April 5, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You don't need a converter on the Sun. I think the only NCL ship you may need one on is the Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted April 5, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You don't need a converter on the Sun. I think the only NCL ship you may need one on is the Spirit. Spirit has at least one 110 outlet in each cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted April 5, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Since the Sun uses 110 volt, has anyone used 120 volt items on the Sun Can I use a 110 volt power source for a 120 volt device? from http://www.seed.slb.com/v2/FAQView.cfm?ID=427 110 Volt is the nominal standard used in homes. Appliances are rated at 120 volts as a safety measure, as the voltage can fluctuate between 110v and 115v. Appliances rated in this manner will require voltages higher than 120v in order to sustain damage. Might call it a safety net for appliances. from http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_plug_120_volt_appliances_into_110_volt_outlet And remember that it is not grounded sead maybe but not grounded:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused? In any event, it is normal US type outlets - maybe only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Haynes Posted April 6, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 6, 2009 110-120 are the same as is 220-240 depending on who you talk to. Electricians think in terms of the smaller number, engineers the higher number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfromdg Posted April 6, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Irene - Just wanted to mention that the hairdryers on the Sun are not like normal hand held dryers - they're a long hose with a not very powerful flow. You might want to bring your own. BTW, I'm very jealous that you're sailing the Sun; I love that ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irene1127 Posted April 6, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks Laura - and good to know you love the Sun. This is my first cruise, and really looking forward to Alaska. We're in 9234 - were you in a balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marysb Posted April 6, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 6, 2009 you definitely need to bring a hairdrier on the Sun. Have a great cruise. You will loveit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfromdg Posted April 7, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yes, we were upgraded from a Cat C OV to a BA Balcony on deck 10. If you plan on dining in an specialty restaurant, I would suggest that you go to Il Adagio. We ate there twice and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irene1127 Posted April 7, 2009 Author #12 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I thought we'd try the Adagio, from what we've read on the boards. Any other tips, let me know:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
