Hi,

A few of things to help me with please.This will be our first DCL cruise ( 17th Oct) 1) Do we need to take towels ? 2) Is the voltage in the stateroom 240 V ? 3) What is there in the Oceaneer Lab.? We will have our 12 year old son with us.
Any help please.

Hi Keith
We did the 4 nt last year and liked it so much booked 7 nt this Oct. No you don't need towels. you get them in the room and by the pools. Just need the standard US adapter for UK plugs. In Oceaneer Lab there is computers, Board games, Large screen game station, lots of fun activities like making goo, mouse mats, drawing. Our 9 year old would never go to a kids club before the cruise, we had to drag him out at midnight every night.
Buy the Passporter book it is very good. You can get it from Amazon UK.

There's no need to bring towels. You'll get fresh towels in your stateroom, twice daily if you wish. There towels provided at the pools. And there are even bins of towels as you exit the ship at ports, for use at the beach.

The plugs that are meant for guests are near the TV. They are 110V and they accept 2-prong or 3-prong US-style plugs.

There are two 240V outlets on the wall behind the bed. These accept plugs like those in Germany and France (not like those in the UK or Ireland). One nightstand lamp is plugged into each of them. They're very hard to get to, but if you have a device that needs 240V, they are an option (as long as you don't mind moving the bed).

Keith , no need to take towels, provided for you, you can get the plug convertors in home and bargain 99p, tons to do in the oceaneers lab, you'll have a ball, if you go to this link

it has a copy of the kids activities for the cruise, this is an idea only as they do change, they also have a massive playstation in the club, if your lad is anything like mine you won't see him for a week
Have a great holiday.

Just to confirm all of the above and say you will have a great time, and the kids club is in another league to the med clubs, so much better you all will have an excellent time.
