Electronic entertainment

If you have an iPhone or portable electronic device, you could relax with a game or two on the ship.

You could also, if you really wanted, pay to use the Internet or make a call, however these services were prohibitively expensive.

And besides, isn't part of the point of a cruise to get away from everyone and your phone and e-mail? But of course, for parents, there were ways to check back in at home with the kids.

The power plugs on this particular ship were European power plugs - so two circular plugs, as well as normal American shaver power points.

So if you have a 230V / 240V device, you needed a plug adaptor but not a transformer to use the power in your stateroom.
