funinhounslow Posted October 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I am going to need to run an iron over my shirts when we arrive on QM2 (tomorrow! :D ) Will "housekeeping" be able to drop an iron and board off at my cabin, or is there a separate room for guests to do this? I would prefer if possible not to use the laundry service. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted October 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Irons are forbidden in any cabin, on any ship I've ever known. The QM2 has several nice public Laundry rooms with irons available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer if possible not to use the laundry service. Thank you in advanceThere are irons/ironing boards in the laundry rooms on nearly every cabin deck, free to use. Check the deck plans for exact locations (remember if may be quicker to use one on the decks above or below your cabin rather than walk the whole length of the ship for the one on your deck (those 1,000 ft corridors are v-e-r-y long :eek:). Hope this helps. Bon Voyage! :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have never travelled with P & O then? Irons, ironing boards and trouser press in every suite & mini suite. Not sure about other cabin grades or, indeed, other lines but I expect the are others who also provide irons, even if only on request, as would many hotels on land.

I walked a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g way to the launderette from our cabin last time. One warning about the irons. Sometimes you'll find that the soleplate is dirty. I always travel with a large cotton handkerchief to use as a press cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deck plans I have for QM2 don't even feature them at all though we have used them many times. Maybe QM2 being a one off design and somewhat quirky in layout has them in random positions, but I would think the same logic of stacking then one above the other would make sence on any ship. David.

I'm pretty sure they don't stack on QM2. I do recall that the one on deck 6 was pretty far aft. It was a long walk from our forward cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't - if anything they tend to stagger: Deck 10 fore Deck 8 Aft Deck 6 Aft Deck 5 Aft Deck 4 Fore It's worth checking whether its better to travel vertically rather than horizontally - on my forthcoming TA my 4 deck cabin is much close to the 5 Deck Launderette than the 4 Deck one.

I've known people walk hundreds of feet of corridor rather than one flight of stairs. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
