Does anyone know if cruise ships have a 3 prong plug, or only 2? I would prefer not to have to buy an adapter.

I would contact the cruise line, that would be the ONLY way to know for sure...

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.

I have an original Kindle. The battery fails on a cruise ship. On two different cruise boats the kindle went dead while charging in the ships' outlets. It seems to work at all other times. Anyone have this problem?

Hi, I found the standard to be all three prong, not really two prong. They're cheap enough so get at least one two prong if you're worried. You'll be more than happy with the Orei grounded universal, thats all I used. Good luck :)

Joe, I use a Brookstone plug adaptor(with interchangeable plugs to work for where ever you are) then plug this into that. The great thing about this powerstrip is that 3 devices + a usb can be plugged in simultaneously. The combination has been invaluable to me travelling in Europe and Australia. Hope this helps.

Don't count on it! While in major hotels you will be able to use this adapter, in most circumstances you need a three prong adapter like you use in the UK.

Im sorry but I dont know what 2.1 A or 1A port is,lol I can say this. We have Iphones and it charges those.It also charges my gf I pad and the kindle fires the kids have and my e pad. It does not charge my Play station 3 controllers. I ended up buying another one after my 1st purchase so we now have two.One for the bedroom and one for the family room.I think its a great item to charge multiple things with one plug in instead of having outlets through out the house charging phones ect.

There are 3 different plugs for that area. They can also have good ol' USA 110v plugs. Amazon sells this 3 pack "Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for Europe (Schuko) (Type E/F) - 3 Pack for $7. If you need it sooner I would try Radio Shack.

Use a standard outlet. Turntable Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 comes with its own DC power supply.

I got one and the answer is no the bands around the prong input are three instead of two. However, I'm going to Best Buy to see if there's an adapter. No this in advance.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

Yes, they work with two or three prong electronic devices, to use or charge them in Ireland and the Uk. One tip I would pass on is to fit your plug into the adapter and then plug hype adapter into the wall. This will avoid any sockets blowing fuses if you mistake polarity on your plug. You do realize these are for adapting to the different electrical outlets in other countries, right?

I used mine on a river cruise ship that had the standard 2 prong, European outlet. It heated as expected but I didn't get much use of it. Unfortunately for me, the cord wasn't long enough to get to where I needed the pad! I will continue to carry it with me and keep my fingers crossed that I'll have outlets in more useful places on future trips.

I'm looking for the same thing. Did you find an adapter with 2 prongs the same size?

We needed one as well and I found it on a website but I can't remember which one. I googled "charger for seascooter dolphin" and it came right up. It was expensive so don't be alarmed!

It has a 2 prong plug. The adapter is rated for 100-240 VAC as well. I travel with mine and have had no problems.

Hi Sheena: Jeffrey beat me to it. The only caution you want to take is to not treat this a 4 ports each capable of 15 Amps.With best regards
