No — Curaçao uses the same plug shape as the US, so a standard US plug fits without an adapter.
Curaçao runs on 127V at 50Hz, close enough to the US standard of 120V that most devices work fine.
Most modern electronics (phone and laptop chargers) are dual-voltage (100-240V) and only need a plug adapter, not a converter. Single-voltage, high-wattage devices like hair dryers or straighteners may need an actual voltage converter — check the label near the plug prongs for the input voltage range.
