Why would you bring an item that is prohibited? Seen plenty of them on the confiscated items table. The scanners seem to have gotten a lot better. Likely a few don't get spotted but I don't think anyone could say why. Don't bring a prohibited item. Edited April 6 by Charles4515 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't. They are not allowed. For a reason. Edited April 6 by time4u2go 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted April 7 #11 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Just wear it wrinkled. Or try some packing tips. Everyone else is going to be wrinkled. 😃 And avoid linen clothing. ☺️ Edited April 7 by Coralc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtulipe Posted April 7 #14 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Use the steam chamber, aka the shower stall, in your bathroom. Hang winkled garment inside away from the shower spray by running it to the far away side away from your clothes and run only hot water spray for a few minutes which will result in very steamy surrounding. Avoid being in chamber for long period when doing the above! 😉 Edited April 7 by robtulipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Caribbean Court in the main theater would make for some fun entertainment. Suggested punishments for those found guilty: -No pool chair for the rest of the cruise -A day ban from using your drink package -Donate your casino winnings to your least favorite charity -The ship's alarm sounding in your room (and only in your room) all night.

You can take a “Steamer trunk!” All very 1920’s though. Having stood naked in front of a full length mirror after 30 minutes in the steam room, I am honestly not sure I would bother! At least my wife “creased up” laughing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take a clean 2” wide flat iron to touch up clothes I wash and it is allowed. I press DH polos after I wash them and they look almost as good as home ironing. The flat iron puts a nice crease on jeans and shorts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
