Can I Bring My Hair Dryer on Fantasy

[aprilbabes]

This may seem silly to some, but VERY important to those of us with frizzy locks! I NEVER travel without my professional hair dryer - especially on a ship! However, I've been told that the outlets won't accommodate a regular hair dryer plug, and that they have babyliss professional dryers in each cabin. Is this true??? TIA

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

They have a good hair dryer in each room, do not know the name but its a good one.

I carry my own hair dryer on all the DCL ships, there are outlets that fit in the desk area.

I don't think they are Babyliss. I 'very done 6 Disney cruises and have always taken my Babyliss with me. No outlet problem.

 

[lorimay]

No, I'm not sure of the brand they have. I bring my Chi dryer and babybliss hot airbrush.

 

[TinkRose]

The hair dryers on the Fantasy and Dream are Babyliss Cordkeepers. I haven't been on the Magic since it's re-imagineering but they may have them too. Last time we were on the Wonder they did not have them. You have to plug it into the correct outlet at the desk or it will not work correctly. The hairdryer is good and I am a hairdryer snob. I'm a former stylist and use a professional hairdryer at home and this one is very similar. I have very thick long hair that can take forever to dry with a bad hairdryer.

You can bring your own but just make sure you use the correct outlet at the desk. Both outlets will power the dryer to blow but only one has enough wattage to allow the heating element to operate. This also applies to the dryers DCL provides.

 

[GioCruise]

Baby bliss hairdryer are in rooms and they work great!
I'm ultra frizzy also I loved their dryer wasn't worth bringing my own and I won't next time.

 

[ForMyBoys]

I always travel with my own hairdryer, but I will say the hairdryer on the fantasy was great and I did use it. The Magic, not so much. And yes I did take it after the major refurb.

No. The Magic from Galveston they kept my wife's at the port in 2012 till we returned, her steamer too...

The Babyliss one in the room was fab, also had a diffuser. I took mine just in case, but I had no need for it.

What brand are the ones on the Magic? Will be sailing it for the first time next year, and starting to plan already!

They took your blowdryer out of your luggage? I'm shocked, I have sailed 11 times with DCL and they have never touched my blowdryer. This scares me, my hair will be a nightmare without my drying gadgets.......

It was one of the first Magic cruises from Galveston, maybe just a local or Magic thing, I don't know, was waiting when we entered the luggage claim area. It had been packed in a cube with the steamer (which was king of a combo iron thingy) so may have got caught up in process, I don't know. Our room steward thought it odd for the HD, but he did say a steamer was a "no-no!"
