Rare ReneeFLL Posted April 3, 2016 #51 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well folks plenty of tips for me...many thanks to you all. Conclusions Ditch the linen Spray bottle of water with fabric conditioner....is the fabric conditioner a "magic" ingredient"? Pack carefully...which I do...always use plenty of tissue paper when folding clothes. If that fails hang "wrinkled" clothes in a steamy bathroom Send out to be pressed...clothes not me. Or Don't give a *** and face the world wrinkles and all :D Looks like you're ready to cruise. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny444 Posted April 3, 2016 Author #52 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Looks like you're ready to cruise. Enjoy. I am always ready to cruise!....its just as I said on our recent cruises we have always had access to a launderette and consequently an iron. On the recent cruise that we did without a Launderette...MSC...it was only for 7 nights so not so much of a problem as a 14 nighter is going to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moqui_girl Posted April 3, 2016 #53 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It won't solve all you problems but if you see taking hair straighteners with you they can be helpful. I use them to "iron" my husbands shirt collars and the edges of skirts or sleeves etc. They aren't on the banned list and can just spruce things up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGG Posted April 4, 2016 #55 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Buy clothes that don't wrinkle badly and pack carefully. Nobody really cares if you have a few wrinkles. I couldn't care less if you have a few wrinkles as long as you dress appropriately and you are clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancruzs Posted April 4, 2016 #56 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The 2.5 gal. zip lock bags work great! I roll everything, I can put capris in one, tops in another, dressier clothes, makes packing and unpacking very easy. Many people swear by the packing cubes but I've success with the zip lock bags.

oldguysandgalls Posted April 4, 2016 #57 Share Posted April 4, 2016 We took all of our men's shirts to the dry cleaners before the cruise and they came back on hangers. Great....now what? :confused: Well... we just double folded the plastic garment cover from the dry cleaners (with the shirts in them) and placed it on the very top in our suitcase. We thought for sure they would be wrinkled by the time we unpacked on the ship :( But, imagine our surprise...not even one wrinkle. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexCruise371 Posted April 4, 2016 #58 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) We use the pressing service on some clothes. We also carry an empty spray bottle and a small container of Downy (3-6 oz depending the size of the spray bottle) in our luggage and mix it when we get on the ship. That way it cuts down luggage weight. Works wonders :D Edited April 4, 2016 by TexCruise371 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
