babymaxie Posted November 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I know that regular irons are allowed on RCCL, but are those steamers that steam our wrinkles allowed? There is no metal on the bottom of this. I just purchased a really nice one and would like to take it on my cruise next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalto Posted November 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2011 RCI do not allow any kind of iron on board and I would think that the steamer would emit too much steam and set off the smoke alarm! Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChuckFL Posted November 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Don't bring it. It will earn you a trip to the naughty room. After 3 consecutive trips to the naughty room we gave up bringing a steamer or iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth C Posted November 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have a travel steamer that has gone on many a cruise without issue. It's a Phillips/Norelco fabric steamer which doesn't really look like one... it's only about 1/2" thick and rectangular shaped. Has been on cruises to Alaska, Bahamas, Hawaii, Eastern & Western Caribbean, Trans Atlantic and the Greek Islands... just gets shared around the neighbourhood lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted November 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 14, 2011 DW has a great steamer that she brings on all our trips. It has never been challenged but we don't leave it out in the room either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChuckFL Posted November 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 14, 2011 In the past we never have had problems on any of our 50+ cruises with a travel iron or steamer but seems as RCL has stepped up their policing of this and the alcohol confiscation in the last year. Must be good for the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excited1stcruise Posted November 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 14, 2011 On the allure this past September without an issue. As it stands we never used it and was a waste of suitcase space. We used the downy wrinkle release on a few items and that worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie51 Posted November 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2011 RCI do not allow any kind of iron on board and I would think that the steamer would emit too much steam and set off the smoke alarm! Shame really. Irons are on the list of prohibited items; steamers are not on the list. You can look on the RC website. I have taken my steamer on many cruises and never had a problem.

jakesmom04 Posted November 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Took my steamer on the Voyager this past April. Didn't use it and will not take it again. Sending items out to be pressed is very inexpensive and less bothersome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhundt67 Posted November 14, 2011 #11 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I got called on it and sent to the "naughty room" to get my luggage. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shippy Posted November 16, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I BOUGHT MINE ON THE MARINER OF THE SEAS ! Works great. I take it on every cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjoon Posted November 16, 2011 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Took mine on Mariner in October. Not a problem. I left it out in the bathroom after using it and there was never any comments on it. It was very useful when you are travelling for 3 weeks and have a limited luggage allowance.
