How can you take a travel steamer on a cruise ship through the x ray machines

[Tinkrbell]

We are going on a long cruise and would like to know if anyone has successfully taken a clothes steamer through the security scanner.

Travel steamers are not allowed to be brought on board.

Why would you bring an item that is prohibited? Seen plenty of them on the confiscated items table. The scanners seem to have gotten a lot better. Likely a few don't get spotted but I don't think anyone could say why. Don't bring a prohibited item.

You can't.  They are not allowed.  For a reason.

The easy button is a can of spray wrinkle out.

So you’re asking how to do something illegal ??

Don’t !

[GTO-Girl]

WOW!!!  😳😳

[HicksRA]

Maybe try internally….

Just wear it wrinkled. Or try some packing tips. Everyone else is going to be wrinkled. 😃 And avoid linen clothing. ☺️

Sneak it in your checked luggage by wrapping it in a long extension cord and hiding it in your rice cooker.

I was thinking maybe they could find a steamer that looks like a duck. ☺️

[robtulipe]

Use the steam chamber,  aka the shower stall, in your bathroom.

Hang winkled garment inside away from the shower spray by running it to the far away side away from your clothes and run only hot water spray for a few minutes which will result in very steamy surrounding. 

Avoid being in chamber for long period when doing the above! 😉

Actually it's not illegal.  But it is against the rules.

People like you are the reason they have security scanners.

I don't know. Royal Caribbean Court in the main theater would make for some fun entertainment.

 

Suggested punishments for those found guilty:

-No pool chair for the rest of the cruise

-A day ban from using your drink package

-Donate your casino winnings to your least favorite charity

-The ship's alarm sounding in your room (and only in your room) all night.

For Capital crimes maybe having to sit through the full performance of “Cats?” 🤷‍♂️

I think that'd fall under "cruel and unusual punishment"

You can take a “Steamer trunk!” All very 1920’s though. Having stood naked in front of a full length mirror after 30 minutes in the steam room, I am honestly not sure I would bother!

At least my wife “creased up” laughing! 

[Jetdriver787]

……possibly because the mirror turned out to be a window! It’s no fun getting older is it?

And fill the water tank with vodka. 

Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

For yrs I have just brought clean Dress Shirts and have them pressed on day one. They do better job then I do, worth the cost compared to the huge garment bag I use to bring

I take a clean 2” wide flat iron to touch up clothes I wash and it is allowed. I press DH polos after I wash them and they look almost as good as home ironing. The flat iron puts a nice crease on jeans and shorts.
