Iron?

[Idmom]

Okay this might be a dumb question but I am going to ask anyway. We are sailing on the Freedom this weekend. Do they have Irons in the staterooms?

Not in the staterooms and I don't believe you are allowed to bring one but they are available in the laundry rooms. Just check your hallway map.

Not in the stateroom but there will be a launderette most likely on the floor, either look on the deck plan, or you can ask your steward or guest services. I think it is one launderette per floor of cabins, but not positive if EVERY deck has one.

Don't wait until elegant night to iron, do it early! Crazy crazy lines.

As others have said, irons aren't available or allowed in staterooms, only in the launderettes. I don't think there's one on every floor, because I can remember riding an elevator to iron formalwear on previous cruises. :p

 

We try to pack as much wash and wear as possible, with the exception of formal night attire. Generally, we bring a bottle of Downey Wrinkle Release with us, and we pick out our MDR dinner attire first thing in the morning, spray it with Wrinkle Release, and hang it in the bathroom to steam while we shower, then move it to the closet. By the time we come back to the room to get ready for dinner, all of the wrinkles are gone!

Irons are fire hazards and are not in your cabins.

We have not ironed clothing in about the last 25 years!!

We pack things that don't need that sort of care!

Like all others have said, there are free irons in the launderettes.

 

And, again, don't wait until the last minute.

 

The line will be down the hallway:eek::eek::eek: (DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS)

Before I knew better, I did use to bring a travel iron in my carry on. You could've sworn I was trying to smuggle 10 kilos of cocaine based on the reaction from the security personnel in Mobile!

 

Now it stays home. :o

I also had my iron taken but I knew better!! Now I take a few minutes on the first night before bedtime and iron everything for the trip usually just a few items and it does not take long no lines then.

What about a small steamer? Anyone ever brought one of those?

Ha ha - we were near the launderette last cruise and a guy fell into our cabin when I opened our door. At least I didn't find out about the line by standing in it! :)

The ship also offers laundry services, including a pressing service. It is a reasonable charge. IF I ever had anything that I would need to iron, I would send it out....why stand in line to do it yourself?

[crznnrsbty]

I've had mine taken away. I ended up steaming my dress in the bathroom. this time i'm taking a steamer hate being away from my iron!

[SadieN]

Steamers aren't allowed either.

[crznnrsbty]
