Bought for my upcoming European Vocation
Style: Type E/F-Germany France, Style: Type E/F-Germany France
I need a European plugadapter to use in Cruise. It seems to be permitted in a Carnival cruise line. This things has a super short power cord, so that it can hang a bit below a European wall outlet. That's a good design so that you won't block the neighbouring outlet. it's lightweight so I can put it in my baggage. the USB C ports is an essentials as it seems that other USB ports are not allowed to use in Europe after a few years. Anyway, this things is recommeded
