MickeyG Posted November 22, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Just received our travel docs. In reading them I noticed that irons are not permitted in cabins due to fire hazzards. I never really thought about this but it makes perfect sense. With no ironing allowed, just wondering what people do to keep clothes from getting wrinkled? My wife is a good packer and usually irons everything before she packs it. But there is always a shirt or two that can use a touch up. Any suggestions? Thanks Mick:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KKB Posted November 22, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2004 on Princess there are irons in the laundry rooms, so if you really need to... Downy wrinkle release or a steamy shower plus the bags seem to work for all but the worst wrinkles. Happy cruising! Kristin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erby2283 Posted November 22, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Does anyone know if irons are allowed on NCL's Majesty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 22, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2004 On the "R" and "S" class ships on HAL, there are laundry rooms which have ironing boards and irons. The Vista class ships do not have these facilaties. Some people take steamers. Others just hang their wrinkled clothes in the bathroom while someone is taking a shower and let that steam help.

MickeyG Posted November 22, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Thanks for your quick answers. If we find a wrinkled shirt we'll take a long, hot shower. Thanks, again. Mick:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted November 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I always pack a small travel steamer and do my husband's shirts (especially his tuxedo shirts) with it. It's portable and safe - unlike irons. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted November 22, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Does anyone know if irons are allowed on NCL's Majesty? Irons are generally frowned upon on all ships due to fire hazards. There are other discussions of irons on this board, use the search function and you'll be overwhelmed with info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardK Posted November 22, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Just received our travel docs. In reading them I noticed that irons are not permitted in cabins due to fire hazzards. I never really thought about this but it makes perfect sense. With no ironing allowed, just wondering what people do to keep clothes from getting wrinkled? Unfortunately, a lot of people still bring their irons along with them, and justify it with the "I'm very careful" reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted November 22, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I'm sure speeders are very careful when they drive 80 mph on the highway, too.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two@Sea Posted November 23, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Apparently I am the only "slob" in the group. I presume everyone on board is aware that my clothing has been folded/rolled/crammed into a suitcase and is therefore prone to wrinkles. Doesn't bother me if YOUR clothes have wrinkles either! ;) Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijoge Posted November 23, 2004 #11 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I do not iron anything before I go because I can't seem to pack so things look decent when I arrive. As soon as my luggage arrives I send everything to the ship's laundry to be pressed. Everything comes back the next day looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted November 23, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Marsha - I am so glad to see that I am not the only "slob" out there. I don't iron so I don't buy clothes that need to be ironed. I pack very carefully in the extra large ziplock bags and everything comes out just fine! The last thing I want to do on vacation is worry about laundry!

I too take advantage of the laundrys pressing service when needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
