Hey Diane... do you need a special adapter for spain other the 110 to 220 ???

i know a power strip to plug everything in..

ok this may sound stuipid.. i have wireless on my laptop now do i have to pay to sign on with my laptop on the ship..or will it work on the balcony??

tonia

[JoeyandDavid]

Yes tonia... you will have to pay for access

The only advantage of wireless on the ship is you don't have to wait for one of their computers and, of course, using your own programs and hard drive. You pay the same rate for computer usage. In addition to voltage converter you will need an adaptor for the plug. Because their plugs are different than ours. Hotels will sometimes provide those. I know Continental Palacete has them. Since yours is part of the same group, they probably do to. We bought a whole set of adaptors because each country is different.

Hi Diane any suggestions where us new to europe travelers might expect to find a set of adapters?

We bought ours on Ebay (remember we are geeks). AAA, Brookstone and Magellans sell them. Also, do a search on the web. Remember you also need a converter - 110v to 220v

[JoeyandDavid]

oh I was hoping there was like a little kit, with both adapters and converters all in the same box?

[momwig]

The set I own has both the adapters and converters in one. I think they came from Brookstones

[JoeyandDavid]

thanks i will check in to it

I bought a set of converters/adapters at Target-- very reasonably priced. They were very useful because the set had all of the various kinds needed by each country included. For example, Great Britain's plugs are different than the rest of Europe's.

One point worth noting, however, was that my chargers (iPod, camera, etc.) didn't need the converters because the chargers are compatible for both 220V and 110V-- you would just need to check to make sure the prongs fit correctly. Fortunately, we won't have to worry on the ship--it will be just like home!
