Travel Iron

[ERNLYN]

Can we bring on board the Pride a travel iron? I know Carnival offers a self-service laundry room but is there a cost to use their iron and ironing board?

[joepeka]

Travel irons are not allowed. The laundrette's on each deck have iron's and ironing boards that are free of charge.

There is no cost to use the iron/ironing board. you can find them in the laundry rooms. I always bring on the wrinkle release spray and it works great.

Nope... sorry. Irons are a fire hazard and are prohibited...

I deleted my answer, because others were answering at the same time. You don't need multiple answers saying the same thing. :)

I am assuming a portable steamer would be a no no as well

One of my last sights upon debarkation from the Victory is an older lady standing in the lounge, looking lost with an iron in her hand. It has just been returned to her and by the look on her face I can imagine her thinking: "Why did I bring this piece of junk anyway...?"
