Steam Irons in staterooms

[cruz4evr]

This will be my first cruise on Carnival.....does anyone know if there is an iron in the room or not. Have any of you packed a travel steam iron just in case? By the time I unpack everything some things are already wrinkled, especially cotton fabrics.

 

Thanks in advance...

No, there are no irons and they are not allowed onboard, so please don't bring one. There are several laundry rooms onboard that have one or two irons and boards for your use.

Irons in the cabin are a safety hazard, so please don't bring one.

 

I have mostly cotton clothes and I put them on hangers and in dry cleaner bags and they are barely wrinkled. If you don't use a dry cleaner, you can probably buy the bags for 5 or 10 cents a piece.

 

This makes for easy packing/unpacking. Enjoy, but don't take an iron.

I just bought some Downy Wrinkle Free spray and it works great. I am planning on taking it on our upcoming cruise. No irons needed and cruise lines don't allow it from what I understand.

I have also used the "wrinkle spray">> it does work

 

another idea....hang your clothes up on the door while you shower to steam out the wrinkles

 

there are ways to pack too that help prevent wrinkles...ie, folding the clothes over, or "rolling " them....garment bags work well too

Thanks for all your replies and I do understand how an iron could be a fire hazard. The reason I asked about the steamer is because some people here on CC have mentioned taking one on their cruise.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, I didn't mean a regular iron but a steamer. I imagine they are not allowed either.

A steamer is allowed but not an iron/steamer.

Carnival has laundry rooms with irons for the guests to use....look on the deck plans and find the closest one to your cabin.

CB At Sea - I looked at many deck plans and I don't see a laundry room on any ship. What am I missing? We're sailing on the Valor and I'd sure like to know where they are.

You are very welcome, I have also had great luck with the Downy spray and the in room hair dryer :)

Hi pabeachie, may I ask where you purchased your steamer? Are you packed yet? :D I'm almost done.

That's a great idea!

[pabeachie]

i got it from avon. and i've got a lot packed but more to go! see you next week!!!

[cruiserbryce]

nope...and like others said..dont bother bringing your own...they will not let it on because it prevents a fire hazard

[longcoolwoman]

I am headed out next week and I purchased a steamer at Target for $20. It is different than an iron and if they don't like it I'm sure they will confiscate it, but I think it will be okay.

HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOO cruz4evr: There are no irons in staterooms. It is a fire hazard. There is an iron in the laundry room. Passengers could use that one.

As is stated in a later post, I meant a steamer not a STEAM iron. :D

I have so much packed already that I don't know if there's room for a steamer, LOL! Although I imagine they are quite small and lightweight.

 

Happy packing.....see you soon! :D

TakeMeAway - I'm a little late thanking you for the info. The room numbers in the book are tiny but I think I found the room they are referring to. However, it doesn't say laundry. Is that right? In fact, I think our room is almost across from this area. Will it be noisy?

 

I also found other info that was helpful and have saved this for future reference.

 

Thanks again.

You might here some more noise on dress up nights but usually everyone is either out or getting ready themselves, I don't think you will have any problems unless people are drying sneakers :) Have a great cruise~

See what I mean Biff - the OP had already been given the info & thanked the folks for posting it.

 

Why was it necessary for you to "McFly" her?
