Yes you can, as long as it has a automatic shut off.

My dd and I both brought flat irons. No one asked about auto shut off (hers has it mine doesn't) but as with any heat producing appliance, we are very, very careful!

The Cabin Steward will look for such devices that are plugged in and unattended and he is told to unplug what he feels could be dangerous. It's part of his job. It's unfortunate that he/she must babysit some folks but it's for the safety of all of us who are onboard.

I bet you thought that he/she was there to just "freshen-up" your cabin! :rolleyes:

I am a compulsive "un-plugger" even at home. I once drove home, after driving half way to work, because I thought I'd forgotten to un-plug something! Three cheers for the cabin steward.

Interesting, but I didn't see a blow dryer on the Royal last week. I always bring my own anyway. If that's important to you, you may want to inquire.

I think I found mine in a drawer.

Hair dryers are almost always tucked away in a desk drawer.

That is so funny. My DH was much like you. He made me drive back home because he thought he had left the oven on [guess what, he did!]. I agree about the Cabin Steward! They do go above and beyond!

Yes! I always take my curling iron.

 

On our January (2014) cruise on Crown Princess mine stopped working.

I almost panicked! :eek:

Thankfully, they sold curling irons in the gift shop!

Actually, this is incorrect when it comes to Princess. :( On the Ocean and Pacific Princess, it's a machine mounted in the bathroom. On all other ships other than the Royal, a hair dryer is mounted on the wall above the desk. On the Royal Princess, it's in the drawer.

While we are on about hair. How good are the hairdryers on the Coral? I find that some of the wall mounted hairdryers take so long to dry.

I always pack my own because of my thick hair. And because I like a variety of speeds and heat. If you have to ask about the drier, I'd say you are like me and you should bring your own to avoid disappointment.

When we were on the Royal in November, the blow dryer was in the drawer;)

Hair dryers? Not so good. I have thick curly hair that's slightly below my ears. I have a stretchy diffuser sock that I use on the Princess supplied dryers but only dry my hair about 3/4 of the way. I use my mini straightener to tame the bangs a bit, but I'm ok with the wind blown curly look!

Back to the OP question on curling irons ....

 

If curling irons were a "no-no", Princess gift shops would not sell them.

 

I was so happy to find a curling iron in the gift shop on Crown Princess when mine quit working. :)

You can also use your 'Flat Irons'/Straighteners as a makeshift Iron as well.

What about the small clothes steamers, are they allowed?

Yes!

They used to be on the wall by the mirror over the desk.

Pam, you truly are prepared to answer any question! With photos, too! Thanks.
