RE: The Cruising Life

Cruises are confusing to me, from the outside. But like Las Vegas I'm guessing it makes sense and it's fun while you're there. These huge cruise boats are like taking a megacasino from Vegas and putting it atop a hull and sailing somewhere else. At least in Vegas, you can go to another one! :P Crazy they have their own distillery onboard, just to say they do.
There were UK and Euro power sockets in the cabin, but no shaver socket.
I've never heard of a shaver socket before. I guess it's specific to low amp GFCI breakered outlets. In the US we use regular shaped outlets with GFCI embedded.

I've been to Vegas and there are similarities. It's maybe more like one of these big resorts where they try to keep you on site and spending your money with them. We spent a fair bit on drinks, but also on spa treatments for the girls. Others will have spent a lot more.
Usually when we go abroad we like to get more of a feel for that country rather than taking our own with us. That's not to say we would not do another cruise. There are some that use the European rivers and will visit more places. As my mum says, there is the advantage that you don't have to pack your case every time you move on.
Maybe shaver sockets are more of a UK thing, but the ship is aimed at that market. I think most hotels I've been to here have them. In Germany they had their regular sockets in the bathroom. It seemed odd to us Brits to have a hairdryer in there.
