Irons on the Spirit

[E&B]

I really love neatly ironed clothes. I HATE wrinkles. I've read that you can not bring irons on board ships due to they're being a safety hazzard. I can live with that - I'm a rule follower. I already have the bottle of wrinkle release purchased.

 

But, I've read threads here saying that if you request and iron, a room steward can bring one for you. Is that true? I'd much rather iron my clothes while unpacking (not matter how long they're in a suitcase they always come out too wrinkled for me) than depend on wrinkle release, but I'll live with it if I have to.

I did not even know that you couldn't bring irons on the ship. I have always done so in the past and was going to bring one on my upcoming trip, so I am so glad I read your thread!

 

I have heard though, that you CAN get an iron on the spirit. I believe they might already be in the rooms. I am sure someone else on here will know better.

Have you tried a travel steamer? You can use a travel steamer instead, very effective. You can buy one at Walmart and other retail outlets, even my grocery store stocks them, for around $10-15.

Steamers are actually better for your clothes. Look at this web site:

Target has a travel steamer for $20.

You can request an iron and ironing board on the Spirit.

OK - so I'm all set with requesting one!

 

But it seems odd that you're not allowed to bring one because it's a fire hazzard, but you can borrow the same thing from the steward. Are they special kinds of irons that passengers can't set fire to the ship with? :p

Wow! I'm surprised they will give you an iron for your cabin:confused:

 

I'm a NO wrinkle clothing person also.

I pack all of my clothes (after I iron them) on hangars in the dry cleaner plastic bags and never have a wrinkle problem.

 

I don't want to spend my time washing or ironing while on vacation.

 

Bring extra hangars:)

You may bring an iron on any NCL ship.

They only put you in irons when you seriously misbehave.

The problems with an iron is the heat, much hotter than a cigarette producing third degree burns. Irons left alone or tobbled over by the seas can start a major fire quickly, much faster than a lit cigarette. When they provide a self serve laundrymat, those spaces have much better fire retardent systems than your cabin.

I am leaving tomorrow on Spirit and I was told that they do not have them on board and I can not bring one on either
