Wondering what power adapter you need on a cruise ship?
Most cruise cabins use US-style power outlets (110–120V), so if you’re travelling from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, or anywhere outside the USA, your plug may not fit.
In this quick cruise tip, I show you:
✅ What the USA Type A / Type B plugs look like
✅ The simple travel adapter you’ll need onboard
✅ Why a universal adapter with USB ports is the easiest option
✅ What to avoid bringing (powerboards/power strips)
📌 Quick tip: If you’re cruising on a US-based cruise line, pack a US plug adapter so you can charge your phone, power bank, watch and camera without stress.
