Do all ships of HollandAmerica, viz the Westerdam have 120 volt sockets?

As I recall last year the Ryndam did. But memory MAY be faulty.

You may want to bring a power strip with you on your next cruise. Very
helpful for chargers and all the stuff you mentioned. We wouldn't go
without one.

There's also "flip-out" style plugs on cellphone chargers, iPod
chargers, and some laptops. Plus those 2" square "brick" DC
transformers can also cause problems at times too.

European 240v plugs (and extension cords) frequently are recessed, and
some 120v/240v adaptor plug mimic this recessed interface and can
cause problems too...one of mine has a notch that was laboriously cut
in its size with a pair of toenail clippers because I didn't yet know
the trick of carrying one of these little 6 inch cords :-)
