UGAgirl2 Posted August 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hey Everyone! Can I bring a travel iron? What do you veteran cruiseres do with wrinkled clothes?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted August 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Don't you read your cruise documents??? Don't you read this website??? NO IRONS, CANDLES, HEATING PADS! Very clear in your Welcome Aboard pamphlet that came with your docs. Irons are a fire hazard, fire is the most dangerous thing on a cruise ship. There are laundry rooms that have irons in them, you are welcome to use those, don't wait till the last minute on formal night, there will be a line. You better read your pamphlet quick... it is even on-line at www.carnival.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jckvpa0 Posted August 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2006 As Mrdrood so nicely stated :rolleyes: , you can't bring irons. A lot of people bring a wrinkle release spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted August 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I.ve had good luck using Downey wrinkle free spray. If you think ahead, let your clothes hang the day before you use them. Check out the boards here for more packing tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas greeneyes Posted August 26, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Careful with that spray. It can show up in photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted August 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2006 UGA, please don't take an iron, even a travel iron. And yes, in your "Welcome Aboard" booklet that came with your cruise documents, this is mentioned in two different places, as it's a huge hazard. There are laundry rooms located on each deck of the ship. Washing machines, dryers, ironing boards, and irons. You could also take along some Downey Wrinkle Release. What I do, however, is hang my wrinkled items in the bathroom, turn on the shower really hot, close the bathroom door for about 5 minutes, and wrinkles just steam right out. Take a few minutes to go over the Welcome Aboard booklet - it really does contain so much valuable information for you. Bon Voyage!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted August 26, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Travel steamers are allowed if you have one. I purchased one but never found the time or the motivation to use it. It's a vacation, like Cotton stated the steam from the shower works well and nothing to pack! Nobody will notice a few wrinkles.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rena921 Posted August 26, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Downy wrinkle release comes in a convenient travel size now. Believe me, you will see so many wrinkles around the pool area so that a few wrinkles in your shirt won't matter :eek: :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSseawind Posted August 26, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Please....no iron. There are irons for use in the laundry rooms....I've used them many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryutah Posted August 26, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2006 There are some packing tips i've seen, but can't recall where - but suggests packing clothes with tissue paper, you can roll your tshirts to eliminate wrinkles in them, and take up less room. Use garment bag for nice things, but don't overpack, to elminate some wrinkling etc., Good luck, and have a great cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXParrothead Posted August 26, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2006 As another thread stated just get into a conversation with a TA on the ship. There should be enough hot air to release any wrinkles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payd Posted August 26, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hey Everyone! Can I bring a travel iron? What do you veteran cruiseres do with wrinkled clothes?:eek: Nope - no irons allowed. try the Downy spray or you can try a tip I got on my first cruise from a couple of cruise veterans (30+cruises) - use the dry cleaning bags for each hanging item. Have fun on your cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefintuna Posted August 26, 2006 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I most definitely pack clothes in dry cleaning bags, but I find less wrinkles if I put up to four items in each bag. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
