Irons, Ironing Boards and Hair Dryers?

[Overtyme]

I know that it doesn't sound much like a vacation if you're planning to iron, but sometimes clothes get wrinkled in your suitcase. Does anyone know if there's and Iron and ironing board in the cabins? We're going on the Serenade in less than a week. Also, anyone know if there's a hair dryer as well or will we have to pack ours?

Iron and Ironing boards - NO (I always bring my own travel Iron and use the table with a towel over it).

 

Hair Dryer - YES

I bought a steamer at WalMart for about $12 - worked great.

Irons are not permitted on board ship (fire hazard). Buy some Downy Wrinkle Release (available at Target & Wal-Mart). Works great! I even use it at home now and seldom have to iron anything. Hair dryers available in all the cabins, so don't bother packing one, save the space for souvinirs.

For one of my sweaters, I hung it in the bathroom and ran the shower on hot for a few minutes. Worked well enough. For my other items, I just had RC press them. That's what I'll do next time - just toss your clean clothes in the suitcase at when you pack. When you board, the first thing you do is place the clothing that is wrinkled in the pastic bag and had it to your room steward. You get your clothes back the next morning, all VERY nicely-pressed and hung on hangers. To me, the convenience is worth the $1 or so per shirt.

 

Another couple that we met aboard had their iron confiscated, and were promised they could have it back the last night.
