ERNLYN Posted May 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Does anyone know if the passengers on the Carnival Spirit have access to an iron and ironing board? and if so is there a fee? I know they charge $3.00 for washing or drying clothes....but no idea regarding an iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - located in the laundry room - no charge - but be warned the irons run hot - always check bottom for gunk. Lady ahead of me went to iron nice blouse and there was something on the bottom that transfered. I always take a damp face cloth just to wipe down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknotted Posted May 14, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Also, if you go to the laundry rooms on the day of an elegant night, expect a pretty long line. That seems to be when everyone realizes their elegant clothing needs to be de-wrinkled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first 2 cruises were on such old ships hair and iroining all had to be done in little rooms for such and it was fun..there were more of them per so many cabins and these were not super fancy ships either..the one 4000 ton EARLY 50'S SHIP ..and the old Costa Riviera...it was just a part of life to go there to curl your hair or iron anything and people were fun and polite..like part of experience all were used to and people cared more what they gave the next guy..and less things that could burn and transfer probably then..just darn wrinkly things..hope it all works out op..sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfish216 Posted May 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Try Downy Wrinkle Release. It really works well. This is coming from someone who irons everything - I don't like anything looking wrinkled. Our clothes are already pressed before packing so when we take them out its just a matter of getting soft wrinkles out from folding and being crushed. We spray Downy Wrinkle Release on the garment, shake it out or shape it and poof the wrinkles are gone. Just allow a few minutes for the fabric to dry from the light mist. I usually spray before I go in the shower and when I come out it's dry. Be sure to test of fabric to make sure it's safe. I haven't had a problem yet and used it on various fabrics.

LuckyZ Posted May 15, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 15, 2012 2 alternatives: 1. Hang clothes in bathroom, turn on shower hot water full blast and close bathroom door. Use steam to get rid of wrinkles. 2. Just wear the wrinkled clothes and don't worry about it. You won't be the only one, and no one cares what you look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaGators Posted May 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I also use Downey Wrinkle Release!! At places like Wal-Mart you can usually find a travel size bottle in the checkout lanes. I grab those and refill them at home as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
