Just throw them in your dryer with a damp cloth for a few minutes, pull them out and hang them up.

Best advice and something I do all the time. 

 

@graphicguy I don't know where my iron is either.  True story: when my son was around 10, I pulled out the ironing board (didn't have a dryer back then). He looked at it and asked me what it was (since he had never seen it before). I told him it was a surf board with legs. Don't think it has been out since (and he is now 30).

Funny about ironing/surf board!

 

I DO NOT miss wearing suits, dress shirts and ties to work every day

 

My dryer has a “steam function” should help me with wrinkled clothes.  The issue is packing them in my roll board, which gets rolled, tossed, in and out of storage bins, etc.  That causes wrinkles!  

 

Ergo….

Do they sell TSA approved size of the wrinkle release? These wouldn’t work for carry on.

For wrinkles in clothes on a cruise I have hung them in the bathroom as Ive taken a shower for a bit or just turn the shower to hot and let the steam do the job. It works for most wrinkles.

Yes, they do.  I don’t remember where I bought mine, but probably on Amazon.

Another GREAT suggestion that I’ve utilized!  Thx for reminding me!

You can purchase the travel-sized wrinkle release on Amazon or at the drug stores where they sell travel-sized items.

That's what I have.  I think I got mine from Walgreens.  They are about as big as a travel mouthwash bottle.

I don't know if I am lucky or have pleased the deity, but an upgrade for my flights just came through....these were cheap flights when I booked them (less than $300).

Thankfully in my art department we never had to wear suits or ties. Usually I'm here with jeans, a t-shirt or maybe slacks and a button up

Congrats on your upgrade! Can you throw some of those positive vibes my way so I win my upgrade bid from an inside solo to a balcony? Printed out my luggage tag last night so have accepted that I am where I am (and fine with it) but wouldn't complain if a little luck happens.

It was obviously a birthday gift and a recognition for your induction into the Hall of Fame. It's an auspicious sign for a Joyful cruise ahead.

My induction to the "Klutz Face Plant" Hall of Fame, maybe.

 

Or. their way of saying "you spent six figures flying with us during your career.  Here's an upgrade for one of the shortest flights we offer".

 

Not complaining, mind you.  I'll take any upgrade anyone wants to offer.

So that explains why I am in economy and down on deck 5. Oh to live the charmed life of @graphicguy

Besides, wash - rinse - hang & dry those Under Armour undies on the laundry line as DIY, I am sure Dan can get exceptional laundry service w less than 24 hours turnaround as a Haven guest onboard. 

 

Otherwise, I am sure he knows the store at Clocktower Mall sell them as the ship's gift shop don't ... maybe the crew commissary below deck ?   

 

Last but not least, Amazon Prime delivery to Dockyard "locker" in Bermuda ?  anyone knows 😁😁😁  

 

 

P.S.  Imagine if several of us (and then some more showing up unannounced ahead) somehow all managed to cruise together for a week+ on the same ship, what a "riot" for an onboard convention to gather and reporting ... "live streaming from the Norwegian ..." over Starlink.  

I think I found that cruise. Haven cabins everywhere, Starlink, and solo cabins. Plus the new ship smell.

I started traveling with these concentrated mouthwash. You have to add water but the bottle is only 50 ml and lasts a long time.

Comes in handy if you want to "scope out" your fellow cruising singles.

New to me.  Love it.  Will look for it at my local Walgreens today.
