Irons on the Allure

[dsmith8451]

Just a quick question, anyone know if there're irons to be use on the Allure. My DW would love to know or are there a place she could go to iron a few items once on board. Thank You in advance!

No Celebrity or RCCL ships have self service laundries or ironing rooms. If you need something ironed or cleaned, you can pay a fee for the service and have it done for you.

Um, I think you meant to post your inquiry on the Royal Caribbean boards but to answer your question, there are no irons Onboard and it is not permitted to bring one. We brought a portable steamer and it worked out well!

 

On Celebrity steamers are forbidden items also, don't know about Royal.

 

Steamers or irons are not allowed onboard. However, there is a full laundry and dry-cleaning service available onboard for a reasonable rate.

If I have something that needs ironing when I am on a ship I have a rum and coke, I then look and see if is still wrinkled, if it is then I have another rum and coke. I keep reaping this until I no longer see any thing that needs ironing.

When we get our luggage, I quickly check to see what needs ironing. Bagging it up is easy, and all is ironed in a day, for 1/2 the cost of the same item being cleaned. I'll bring brand new shirts for DH, still folded and pinned from the store and just remove the pins--saves me a heck of a lot of time!!

What I do is iron my shirts and pants before packing, mainly to get a nice crease. When you un pack there will be some wrinkles. We bring a bottle filled with just a bunch of bounce sheets rolled up inside. Fill that with water and you have “wrinkle free” spray. I’ll spray everything real good on the first day and that usually works fine. I was surprised how good this works. Also if you spray and hang your shirt in the bathroom while you shower, then it gets steamed. If that doesn’t work, then send it out for ironing.

When we did the Express Check Off on the Freedom of the Seas last month. They had 2 huge tables of irons they had taken from cruises boarding the ship the day we left port.

 

I was told they x-ray all luggage and put them in piles. Luggage cleared goes to your room. Those with Iron's in their luggage goes into another pile.

 

They do take irons from you and do not allow them on board.

 

Just have your room steward take them to be iron if you need ironing. Or just look like the rest of us.

We've had great luck with hanging things in the bathroom while showering and using the steamer we take with us.

 

Otherwise, do as Ruth says and just look like everyone else with a wrinkle or two ;)

Really? I read Celebrity's website on what not to pack and the cruise contract. There's no mention of steamers. Care to explain?

After pressing my clothes at home, I pack them in packing cubes. The clothes stay very nice, hardly a wrinkle in them. I wouldn't travel without them.

If you mention "steamers" to anyone here in Southeastern New England, you are talking about soft shelled clams, lightly steamed, served with their cooking broth and melted butter. They are quite tasty.

 

Why would you want to bring these on a cruise?

Best. Idea. Ever!

I don't see any grin or wink or anything, so I'm going to assume this is a serious question.

Steamers, in the context of this discussion, are a hand-held appliance meant for removing wrinkles from clothing, not by application of a heated metal plate (as a conventional iron does) but by emitting steam only (much like a conventional iron can also do).

BTW, I'm in CT (which I would consider Southeastern New England)... I would only think of clams if we were having a discussion about food.

Use the search feature on their website and type in steamers. You get this.

 

Are steamers allowed onboard?
