Does Norwegian Cruise Line provide hair dryers?

In your Stateroom All staterooms feature a TV, safe, hair dryer and bath products as well as a mini-bar, which are pay upon consumption. Room service is available from 5 am to midnight (subject to convenience charge), and all stateroom-to-stateroom calls are free.



Yes, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) provides hair dryers in every stateroom across its entire fleet as of 2026. These are typically standard hand-held or wall-mounted models found in the bathroom or at the vanity desk. While they are sufficient for basic drying, some guests with specific styling needs may find them less powerful than professional-grade tools. You are allowed to bring your own hair dryer, but it must comply with strict safety standards: it must be rated for 220V/2000 watts max or 110V/1500 watts max. NCL forbids high-voltage appliances like electric irons or coffee makers due to fire hazards, but styling tools like curling irons and flat irons are generally permitted as exceptions. If you bring your own, it is wise to ensure it is in good condition, as any appliance showing signs of frayed wires or damage may be confiscated by security during the embarkation luggage screening process for the safety of all guests on board.
