no iron? - how do you "unwrinkle" your clothes?

[poolgirl3]

Ist cruise coming up on the Wonder. It is my understanding that there is no iron in the cabins. Which I understand - it makes sense.

 

How do you unwrinkle your clothing from being packed? Is a portable steamer allowed? Febreeze I've heard works well but is that true?

they have irons in the laundry room for free

I really like Downy Wrinkle Releaser...who wants to iron on vacation? :p

[Magic3forme]

Why iron? You will never see these people again! :D

Does Disney offer pressing onboard?

[shoequeen1001]

the irons in the laundry rooms on all the stateroom decks. Warning laundry room popular on the last day (4night) and iron is popular right before dinner!!

Can't we send items out to be pressed on board if we don't want to do it ourselves?

The Downy product is fabulous.

[shoequeen1001]

they do have laundry service on board as well for a charge

Pack your clothes in dry cleaner bags. Hang your clothes on wire hangers & then cover with a dry cleaner plastic bag. (I bought bags for .10 cents each at our local dry cleaner). You can cover 3-4 outfits at once.

 

Then lay your clothes in the suitcase & fold over to fit inside.

 

We did this on our cruise last month & nothing (even my fancy dress & hubby's suits) needing pressing.

 

I learned this tip off someone from cc a few months ago.

Also I read on here to hang your clothes in the bathroom & turn the shower on high & the steam will take out the wrinkles.

This is my fave method! As a crew mmber I done this a whole lot. If you use the tub to do this, put a little softner in the tub - it makes your clothes smell good too!

we use the shower method...since cruise ship bathrooms are small it tends to work for us. Turn the water on hot and close the door. It will help.

I was just wondering where the laundry rooms are located on the Carnival lines? I think I will located by one but the ship map doesn't show in the booklet

I also recommend Downy's Wrinkle Release. Most stores sell the travel size. It works great!

I bring it on all of our vacations so that I do not have to iron.

I can vouch for the dry cleaner bags and the shower method. I use both of these when I travel with no wrinkles to be had.

You can bring travel irons, does someone in your family have one? I also have a portable steamer, its really small, you could use that! They seel them cheap!

DCL doesn't allow irons in guest staterooms. Probably because they tend to be hard on the furniture.

Most lines including HAL do not allow travel irons although you can take them onboard. Another thread on wrinkling recently had a post where the individual takes a couple ounces of fabric softener in an empty spray bottle. When on the ship they mix the fabric softener with water and that works too.
