Do cruise ship staterooms have a hairdryer?

2 min. readlast update: 06.14.2025

Yes, cruise ships do provide hairdryers in most staterooms, though the type, location, and power can vary by cruise line and ship class.


💨 What to Expect:

🧳 1. Standard Hairdryers in Cabins

  • Most cabins on major cruise lines come with a small, wall-mounted hairdryer or a compact handheld unit stored in a drawer.

  • Power is typically low to medium (1200–1600 watts), suitable for basic drying and styling but not as powerful as salon models.

🚪 2. Where to Find It

  • Often located:

    • In the desk or vanity drawer

    • Mounted to the bathroom wall

    • In a cabinet with a sticker or label


🚫 Can I Bring My Own Hairdryer?

  • Technically, yes — but it’s not necessary and can be a hassle if you bring a high-wattage model.

  • Outlets in cabins are limited, and power converters may be needed if you’re coming from outside North America.


In Summary:

Feature Included? Notes
Hairdryer ✅ Yes In nearly all standard staterooms
Power Level Medium Suitable for basic drying
Bring Your Own? Optional Only if you need higher performance

So yes, you’ll have a hairdryer onboard—just don’t expect it to rival your salon-grade one at home.
