Can I bring a flat iron/hair straightener?

[newcruiser52]

Packing to leave in one week! DH and I having difference of opinion whether this applicance is allowed on board. I see the restriction on 'travel irons', but assume that is of the clothes variety; he claims it's the same thing and same fire-hazard/too much electricity draw issue.

 

Anyone know?

Thanks

You are not permitted to take any type of iron, but honestly, it really does not matter. It is very casual.

I wasn't clear - it's not a CLOTHES iron. It's a HAIR straightener. Along the lines of bringing a blow dryer I would think, except that I know I don't need to bring blow dryer as s/b provided. I called it a flat iron, that may be wrong terminology to some folks.

 

But LOL Tom, thanks for the visual about a Butler taking time each day to help me straighten my hair for dinner. I'd be tempted except we are in C category, so no butler anyway.

 

So, anyone? Hair straightener seem ok?

I had a flatiron and a small hand steamer in my luggage. NO problem. I never used either. Let my hair go "natural" and nothing was really wrinkled. Leave it home. LOL

No problem.The irons as you know are a fire hazzard.A hair iron probably is as well but are not banned.

I brought my flat iron (used it twice a day!)! The air is humid, so I'd find that even after straightening (No... I'm not going without! :)) my hair would curl up. Bring along some frizzing cream as well, it really helped! I did find that as the trip went on I was less and less picky about perfectly straight hair, but no, never went totally without.

 

Enjoy! It will be an fantastic vacation!!

Thanks all! I promise to not burn down the PG, but I will look like Gilda Radnor's SNL character Roseanne-Roseanna-Danna if I don't bring it, and at least make an attempt. Now, to continue packing...
