untailored bostonian Posted September 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So once you are onboard, where travel irons are a no-no, how do you coax and get rid of wrinkles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted September 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Downey wrinkle release is a lifesaver. Just spray it on, smooth out the wrinkles and let it hang for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I iron before I pack, then I don't worry about it again! After 5 mins. in the humidity, everyone's clothes will be somewhat "rumpled"...it's truly not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdvlprof Posted September 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Steam from shower does good job on items that are just a little wrinkled. Ship laundry service usually has a 'press only' service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite the "dam" cruiser. Those are some long cruises and they look like some of them are B2B! I'm looking at some Downey like options, and I know the steamy bathroom trick but there is only so much space. I was wondering if there is a way to use a hair dryer and towels on the desk top to smooth out some wrinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted September 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Use a garment bag. Pack clothes most likely to crease in dry cleaning plastic. Use Downy Wrinkle Release. Or easier still, budget some money to send the important things out to be pressed. I also pack casual clothes that are less likely to look messy - so not much cotton.

092306 Posted September 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I use Downey wrinkle release too. Works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted September 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I bring clothes that don't wrinkle, or that the wrinkles fall out when hung up. Men's clothes are more difficult, but we just fold carefully and don't worry about it. If it's really bad we pay for pressing, but that is rare.

awhfy Posted September 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I bring a small spray bottle that I fill with tap water. If something is really wrinkled I'll spray it. Otherwise I use the spray bottle to cool me down while in the sun on the balcony Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted September 30, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 30, 2014 We pack tightly. DH's shirts get folded (actually use a flip-fold) then placed up/down necks facing into a packing folder. Almost all of my clothes are wrinkle resistant. The few wrinkles that are there, usually fall off in a few hours. Bundle wrapping also can help. onebag.com has an excellent video.
