Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted August 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2019 No allowed due to fire hazard. Your iron will be detected during your luggage scan and confiscated. If found in your hand carry bag, you most likely will have to say good-bye to it there. If found in your checked luggage, you probably will be able to claim it at disembarkation.

John Bull Posted August 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Confirming the ferry-watcher's answer. And no self-service laundry on Celebrity. What we do to get travel wrinkles out...... There's a retractable clothes line in your bathroom's shower - pull it from the wall on one side & clip it to its hook on the other side. Hang shirts etc on hangers on the line, turn the shower on (making sure it's not directed at the clothes), and close the shower curtain. The wrinkles will steam out in about 10 minutes.

The problem is is finding 2 sturdy objects at the right height to tie the rope to. We found rope to be unnecessarily bulky and heavy. But household twine, doubled up, plus a couple of magnetic hooks from home Depot (ours are rated to hold 40 lb each) that stick to the cabin walls, would hold nicely.

lisiamc Posted August 27, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2019 We hang the clothes, on hangers, on the hooks on the bathroom door while we’re showering. By the time both of us have showered, the bathroom is suitably steamy to get wrinkles out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if we're doing laundry in the sink, we'll run the line in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieNY Posted August 29, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone suggest Downy Wrinkle Release Spray. That's my standby for travel. One trip forgot to tighten the cap and put the bottle in a Ziplock bag and it leaked all over my bag. So I used my super-lazy getting-ready-for-work method (because 7:00 a.m. is too early to pull out the iron and ironing board for a last minute touch up). I put on the wrinkled item of clothing, make my hands damp, rub them on the wrinkles, then dry with the hairdryer. Easier then putting up a clothes line, hanging all the clothes in the bathroom, running the shower, then waiting for everything to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising with Celebrity Cruises in November Suggestion for the wrinkles. Downey wrinkle releaser spray or what we do. Hang the garment or garments in the bath room when you take a hot shower. Keep them separated from one another. Leave them in there for a few hours. No more wrinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbwex Posted September 4, 2019 #22 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Another thought for getting a hook fastened to the wall: Get some 3-M Command hooks. They are totally removable and leave no marks. Wrinkle release works well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 7, 2019 #23 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Celebrity and RCI don't allow them....they want you to use and PAY for their service. It's totally ok to bring any and all electric heated hair appliances. This really has nothing to do with "safety"...but with profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine everyone turning their irons on right before dinner. ................ and that's the safety risk. Wiring in the cabins isn't designed to carry a heavy load.

Correct, Celebrity fleet wide does not have laundry rooms and they will not loan you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
