wolfsnare Posted April 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Does anyone know if there is a convenient outlet to plug in a travel iron on the Golden?

GKR Posted April 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Please, no travel irons in cabins. There is an iron available in the laundry room on most decks. Other passengers, me included, will sleep better knowing that an iron is not left on in the cabin next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted April 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Irons are not recommended in the cabins for safety reasons. Save some space in your suitcase and use some of the public ones in the laundry rooms. Or I have found if you hang up a dress in the bathroom when running the shower - it seems to take most wrinkles away. I also bring Downy anti-wrinkle spray.

bunky144 Posted April 8, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2004 The irons on board heat up quickly and are available in the laundry rooms, used them on the Golden and the Grand, don't bother with packing one, not worth it and I agree with not using it in the room, to dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcs819 Posted April 9, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2004 they do have them on board but there were lines waiting for them on the Grand. Unless you are going to do all your ironing right when you unpack, do not expect to have on ready and waiting when it comes time to get dressed. We always take our travel iron, we bought one with an auto shutoff and had no trouble using it in the cabin. Before the blasting starts, let me just say that I am on vacation and IRON nothing...it is all DH who had an old lady mumble something about his wrinked linen shorts once...now he irons everything...

DanBoy Posted April 9, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Handy Dan's Dandy Tip Best tip I ever got regarding "wrinkling'...I go to the dry cleaners and get those plastic bags that they have...then I put each day's slacks, shirt, and/or jacket etc on a hanger, slip the bag over it, fold it, put it in the suitcase or garment bag, and I NEVER have a wrinkle problem!..When I get to the cabin I just take out each hanger and hang em in the closet...THIS ONLY works with the dry cleaning bags cause they are sooo slippery and thin..Don't use plastic garbage bags!..Believe me THIS WORKS!! 06/83 HAL Volendam 10/90 Premiere Majestic 06/92 Premiere Atlantic 11/92 Carnivale 05/93 Carnivale 05/94 Premiere Atlantic 10/94 Premiere Atlantic 10/95 Regent Rainbow 03/97 HAL Westerdam 04/98 Regal Empress 03/99 Costa Romantica 07/99 Carnival Tropicale 07/00 Carnival Sensation 12/00 Holland America Maasdam 11/01 Carnival Spirit 03/02 Golden Princess 11/02 Grand Princess 03/03 NCL Dawn 10/03 Golden Princess 06/04 Caribbean Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg. Posted April 9, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Great tip, to avoid ironing, when you unpack take all wrinkly items to laundry room. Put them in the dryer, add a damp facecloth and let tumble cry for 10 or 15 minutes. IMMEDIATLY remove and fold or hang! Now of course this doesn't wwork for formal wear( shirts etc ) but will work for most casual wear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarian Posted April 9, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Is the Downy anti wrinkle spray good on all fabrics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorabelle Posted April 9, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2004 What do you think about those little travel steamers? Do they work well? Are they allowed for use in the cabins? I was thinking about getting one, it looks much simpler than ironing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneekpeek Posted April 9, 2004 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I did the same with dry cleaning bags and hangars - worked perfectly. I also took my tee shirts and laid them on a dry cleaning bag and folded them and I never had a wrinkle. I don't like Downey wrinkle release. It has too strong of a smell and I really don't think it works all that great. I think a spray bottle of water would work very well. I used the washer/dryers on the Diamond mid afternoon and had the laundry room to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
