Do all ships of HollandAmerica, viz the Westerdam have 120 volt sockets?

As I recall last year the Ryndam did. But memory MAY be faulty.

You will find 110 on most ships (certainly all of the main mass market
US ones). You will do well to have a 220 plug as well for computers and
such as all cabins have 220 (crew appliances such as the steward's
vacuum are 220)

Hi,

Yes, all HAL ships have 120 volt outlets.

Haven't been on Holland-America but one of my notes-to-self for next cruise
was to bring a couple of adapters. Our room on Carnival had one 120 v outlet
and one 220 v outlet. Between laptop, phones, hair dryers, etc we could have
used an extra outlet.

You may want to bring a power strip with you on your next cruise. Very
helpful for chargers and all the stuff you mentioned. We wouldn't go
without one.

That might have been overkill but a multitap outlet would have been handy.

I usually carry one or two of these. Price is right and size is tiny:

These short extension cords are a must for plugging in those hair curlers
that have the flip out prongs. The curlers won't fit into the outlet by the
dressing table because the outlets are mounted at table height & the curlers
are vertical when plugged in.

There's also "flip-out" style plugs on cellphone chargers, iPod
chargers, and some laptops. Plus those 2" square "brick" DC
transformers can also cause problems at times too.

European 240v plugs (and extension cords) frequently are recessed, and
some 120v/240v adaptor plug mimic this recessed interface and can
cause problems too...one of mine has a notch that was laboriously cut
in its size with a pair of toenail clippers because I didn't yet know
the trick of carrying one of these little 6 inch cords :-)

They may have 120 V outlets, but they are few in
number and limited in available power - no irons
than you.
Take along a "power strip" or a "Squid" to provide
more sockets; i.e. digital camera charger,
computer power, medical equipment (CPAP, etc.)
lamps, and so forth. We've found a simple "home
style" extension cord very useful in getting power
to the cabin table for computer use as well.
Have a great cruise.
