Taking clothes steamer onboard

[cweed]

We are leaving Friday on the Navigator of the Seas. Wondering if I can take a clothes steamer onboard? I know I can't take an iron. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you

Leave the steamer home. Hang anything that has wrinkles on a hanger in the bathroom. Run the shower on hot and close the door. A few minutes of steam will get most of the wrinkles.

Not sure who your cruising but if there's a laundry room on board thery usually have irons in them.

No self serve laundry room on ROYAL ships so no Irons

Royals laundry will press items for you, for a fee of course.

We brought one with us last year on Freedom. Got a note to go to security after the muster drill. They just had us open our luggage and they seen that it was a steamer and had no issues at all. We were able to keep it. Never did use it though. Hope this helps.

Does the Downy Wrinkle Release leave any type of residue on your clothing? I see it recommended quite often but was afraid try it. The few items that might wrinkle I use the old but good bathroom steam trick.

Just got off Adventure this morning and couldn't believe the number of irons on the confiscation table.

We found a useful tip on these boards a while back. No need to carry a heavy bottle of wrinkle release in your luggage. Just bring an empty spray bottle and a fabric softener dryer sheet. On the ship put the dryer sheet in the spray bottle, add tap water. Instant wrinkle release that really works!

That's awesome advice and thank you. They make the wrinkle release in travel size bottles

Another tip I use is tissue paper. I place it between areas that fold, inside sleeves and shoulders or over the front of the garment. Also leaving your clothes in dry cleaning plastic bags can help some as well.

We use steam or water - it's hot in the Carribbean so our shirts dry quickly. Just wet a wash cloth and wipe it over the wrinkles to make the clothing damp - stand on the balcony for 5 minutes after you are dressed and magic - wrinkle free! If you don't have the balcony and don't want to leave your room damp - unwrinkled everything on the first day (with water if necessary) and hang it up ...

 

We tend to not close our luggage until a day or so before our trip and anything that is really hard to unwrinkled gets placed in as full length as possible - we have had very little trouble...

I have taken a steamer. It was flagged by rci and I had to go to a holding room to retrieve my suitcase. They thought it was an iron. They allowed it and I was allowed to keep it. Just a little inconvenient

Wrinkle releaser is junk. Does not work at all.

I use it all the time (not just for cruising) and I've never found it to leave a residue.

This video has some great ways to handle wrinkles:

no laundry rooms or irons on any RC ship.

We always take a steamer an have never had it confiscated. This last cruise I pre-ironed all our clothes and accidentally forgot to pack the steamer.  We survived.  I did bring a spray bottle so a light mist and let it air dry.  Wasn't perfect.  I will definitely try the dryer sheet method for the future.

 

The table outside symphony was full of confiscated items, mostly cords, but lots of steamers, and even a RICE COOKER!
