hair iron

[Camaro9840]

Hi, we will be on the Freedom at the end of the week. I know a iron is not allowed, but my wife wants to know about a curling and straightening iron for her hair, is this allow on RCCL?

Yes, you can bring a hair straightener or electric curlers or curling iron.

I bought on both (both cruises) no issues. Unthinkable to have a trip without straighteners!! Enjoy!

I'd be lost without my flat iron. Never had any problem bringing it on any RC ship.

Took our Chi, curling iron, with no problem.

Safe travel

Used my flat iron on liberty of seas last Feb. in my cabin. On damp hair. Steam from hair set off alarm on celing I was sitting under....smoke alarm going off,,,,DH yelling,,,,phone ringing with security calling,,,,me and DD fanning the air and opening balcony doors,,,,,the security knocking on the cabin door. Was not pretty all around. Probably leaving my flat iron home next month.

At least you know the smoke sensor works.

Bet you can laugh about it now.

Take your flat iron, dry hair first and have a great cruise.

Safe travels.

I take a flat iron and use it to press the wrinkles out of our clothes :D

I know this was probably an alarming experience for you, but I have to tell you, I laughed at your take of the event.;)

I brought toe nail clippers and re-usable Q-Tips on my last cruise. No one said anything :)

It's always funny afterward. Pretty red faced when security knocked on the door. But really nice to know they wanted to see the room, not just take our word that everything was ok over the phone. And it was nice to know they were calling us seconds after the alarm went off. Someone really does watch for alarms somewhere.

 

They wern't mad or anything. I just felt stupid.

Glad to hear no one had trouble getting straighteners on board. I was worried about this too. I just went out and bought a cheap travel sized straightener and plan on packing this in my hand luggage, and my big one in my suitcase... that way I figure I've doubled my chances of at least getting one of them on board! I'm sure there won't be a problem though...

 

And, will watch out for steam! Didn't realise steam could set off smoke alarms :)
