Oasis - can you take on a steamer?

[hartskys]

My friend just went on an RC cruise and she said they confiscated their mini steamer they took on and returned it at the end of the cruise. It wasn't an iron just a normal travel steamer. Anyone have this problem on the Oasis?

[Marie51]

Well I have taken a small travel steamer on many cruises over the years and never had a problem. I hope this is not going to happen fleet wide on RC ships.

Darn I was thinking of taking my steamer. I have a travel iron/airdryer. Do you think they will take that?

[silentbob007]

If they see it, they will confiscate it.

[hartskys]

Has anyone taken one on the Oasis rescently? Is it better to put in luggage or carry on?

I had packed a travel iron in my luggage on the Explorer and it was confiscated and returned to me at gangway at the end of our cruise. I decided to take a small travel steamer in my carryon and that too was confiscated and I had to retrieve it at the Dock.

I gave up taking my travel steamer because of the extra weight, and now it looks like it's a gamble to take it anyway.

 

I take an emply plastic spray bottle now and fill it with water. I spray my clothes, smooth the wrinkles with my hands, and hang them up. If I can't spray them with water, they don't get packed.

My wife and I were on Oasis last month and her iron was taken. When they scan the luggage they can detect them and mark your bag. We received all of our bags but the on ethat had the iron in it and our cabin stewart told us it would be available at security after 5 PM. We went down there and there were two lines, one for alcohol and one for irons. The iron line was 4 times as long. They made her claim the bag, remove the iron and give to them. She then got a claim check to get it back on the day we debarked the ship. They had 2 55 gal. drums full of irons that had been taken. Once we got back to our cabin I noticed that the screeners had marked the bag "IRON" with masking tape.

Took a steamer in October and had no problem.

Why can't you take a steamer? Do they want you to send all your clothes their laundry for pressing? Sorry, just don't see what the issue would be.

Still trying to figure this one out. The website states no "irons" so we don't bring our travel iron. We also have a "steamer". Round and Plastic with a handle. I am bringing this on my cruise on Saturday.

 

I read up on Celebrity because they are sister companies and they specifically state in their policy that irons are not allowed but steamers are. I am also bringing a small bottle of "Downey Wrinkle Remover". They sell them for about $1.50 in the travel sections. I hope I don't have to use it because I am sensitive to perfumes. So I hope I get to hold onto my steamer!

I have not only taken my steamer, but I always leave it out in the open where the cabin attendant can see it and nobody has ever said anything to me or taken it.

I took a steamer on the Oasis both in Dec last year and this Sept. No problem. It was in my checked bag.

Celebrity's website now says no steamers either. I assume this applies to RCI as well.

We took our travel steamer on Oasis in November and had no problems. I packed it in the checked luggage and just took the two pieces apart and separated them in the suitcase. I put in our "miscellaneous" small suitcase with the kids sand toys, power strip, suntan lotions, etc.

I have not only taken my steamer, but I always leave it out in the open where the cabin attendant can see it and nobody has ever said anything to me or taken it.

 

I was referring to the luggage scanners/security. Your stateroom attendant, dependent on gratuities, will almost never say or do anything unless there is an outright hazard.

If it looks like an iron and acts like an iron expect it to be confiscated and be happy if it doesnt?

 

Roll your clothing, they wont wrinkle.
