How do i iron clothes?

[mymel]

If we can nopt bring an iron or steamer how do we get the wrinkles out of my laundry?

I know on NCL you can request an iron be brought to your room. Your steward can handle that and then you return it. Not sure it's the same on Carnival, but worth a try.

On ships that do not permit irons (most ships - irons are a big fire risk), you don't iron.

 

You either send your things out for pressing or you pack carefully with dry cleaner bags which keep clothes from wrinkling. I almost never need anything to be pressed.

 

Hanging things in a steamy bathroom during hot showers often removes most wrinkles.

Thanks! Leaving tomorrow and just discovered Carnival states no steamers. I dont know if this has changed but i didnt notice it 2 years ago and took one....:eek:

I avoid ironing like the plague.:p. A few things you can do are Downy wrinkle release - spray and hang from the suitcase; hang the item you want to smooth out in the bathroom while the shower is going - the steam will help - this works if you can find a place in the bathroom to hang it. Lastly, wrinkle prevention when packing. Dry cleaner bags for dresses and jackets and tops and pants neatly folded, placed in ziplock bags with the air squeezed out, work very well (and save space, too;)).

There were irons in the laundry room last time--run this past the peeps on the Carnival board for updated info.

There are irons in the laundry rooms on all Carnival ships

On Sea Princess last summer, we were pleased to find irons in the self serve laundry rooms. I'm guessing it's the same on other Princess ships?? And as the laundry machines were free to use, you could also run stuff in the dryer a little help to help with wrinkles. Worked for me!

Carnival and Princess have self-service laundry rooms that have irons. RCI and NCL do not. On RCI, if you want something ironed you pay for the service. On NCL, you are sometimes able to request to borrow an iron, but this is hit or miss on some ships.

 

When traveling on ships with no self-serve laundry rooms, I pack items in plastic dry cleaner bags and use Downy wrinkle release or hang on the bathroom door when I shower.

I just wear the clothes wrinkled.......pulls attention away from my face wrinkles.

This a picture of the laundry on my deck from my recent cruise on the Fascination.

Also, those of us that are sophisticated cruisers know that wrinkles are in.

 

We specifically look for people with well pressed outfits, point them out, then mock and laugh at them for being such neophytes.:rolleyes:
