Are there sockets on cruise ships?

On all ships, each stateroom has one electric outlet located at the desk. The outlet is equipped with a 3-prong 110 volt (North America Grounded) and a 220 volt (Europe German-Style). On the Carnival Celebration, Carnival Jubilee and Mardi Gras, there are three outlets located at the desk.

Of course it's colder at night, and during the earlier and later times in the cruise season. Rain is always a possibility too.
