Setting sail these days, many cruisers take multiple devices on-board which need to be charged during their trip.

Cruise lines vary in their plug sockets on-board, making it hard to find out if your cabin has British plug sockets, a US two-pin or if you’ll need a European adaptor.

Avoid getting stuck on-board with low battery with this handy guide on the plug sockets you can find on-board the top cruise lines and their fleet.

    Do I require a electrical converter to plug in my Cel phone and tablet? There will be two of us using the same connection. I would like to bring a multi plug wall connector, is this acceptable?

    This is so handy! Great to know what on my next cruise I can leave the adaptor at home.
