Ironing problems on board.

I would say that would be preferred however having trawled thro various itineraries and being limited to dates this cruise fits the bill perfectly. (Well it does IMO)

Having previously been on a Celebrity cruise which has the same rules it was not a major problem as it was for a week and we got the stuff that needed ironed done early on in cruise. That is what we are gonna do here.

The best solution is for both of you to keep a sense of humor and enjoy your cruise.

Don't sweat the small stuff!

Looks like she is gonna bite the bullet and accept she can't do much ironing for a fortnight!

Read the statement above back and it's an unbelievable one.

 

Gonna be controversial here but you wummin are mental. Absolutely bat**** crazy!! :confused:

 

"Puts tin hat on and awaits the volley of replies"

 

And yes us guys are perfect :p:D

 

Well Happy Chappy, you might like to know that not all wummin are mental. I haven't ironed an article of clothing for several years. The washing goes out on the washing line to dry and then into the tumble dryer for 10 minutes or so and then folded or hung on a hanger whilst still hot. Looks fine to us! I have a fridge magnet that says "Life's too short for ironing" and it really is. Maybe you should have booked with P & O as they have launderettes on all decks with huge washing machines and dryers and wonderful ironing boards with irons and your missus could spend hours in there happily ironing all her clothes whilst you are enjoying your cruise.

We have taken a clothes steamer on every cruise we have been on and it has never been a problem. In fact, one time they looked at it just to make sure it doesn't have any exposed metal area and it was fine.

Good News! Wishing you both a great cruise.

 

My sister is as bad. Irons socks.

 

Budget for paying someone to do the ironing.

Sail HAL Carnival, Princess, Cunard. They all have laundry and ironing rooms.

 

Back when I was young - my mom ironed everything, including my dad's boxer's. Back then starch was always used heavily for cottons and yes she used it on the boxers. Was a rather interesting conversion at dinner when dad announced he had been to the doctor (chafed) and mom had been given the order to stop using starch (my sisters and I all cheered!).

 

Our sheets in the winter were still hung out on the clothesline -- I hated laundry day.:D

Good luck with that one my mother Lord rest her had ironing ocd and even reironed stuff from the dry cleaners so don't know how it will work if stuff is sent to be pressed

Sometimes a person has to be a little flexible. No one else on the ship will have their clothes ironed twice
