Or would I need some kind of current converter?

Short answer: yes, US & Canada use the same power 110-120V @ 60Hz (cycles per minute). You only need a converter when the voltage is the international standard of 220V at 50 Hz. Usually Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. As for cruise ships, check with the cruise company as each ship is different.

the real question you should be asking is will the power supply of your computer accept standard american voltage. Im pretty sure it will, however ive seen some psu's(power supply units) with a switch to go between two different levels of voltage, and some that handle it automatically. I would ask your local computer store for details on the matter.

Computer will work anywhere. I believe you are concerned about the plug not fitting into the power outlet. US & Canada use the same type of power points..so you have nothing to worry about...just plug and play ! :)
