Borrillje Posted November 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi! We are going on a 7 day cruise on Windstar next month. For just 7 days, I don't see the point in investing in their pricey laundry package. That said - I do like to press my clothes when the come out of the suitcase. We've cruised on Carnival and Royal in the past, both of which have irons available. Does anyone know if Windstar either has an iron available or will allow guests to bring small travel irons aboard? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted November 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi, I often have my laundry done on the ship and I have never bought the package. It is very reasonable and of excellent quality. They wash my clothes cold, they line dry and when I only need ironing that is also done. I love the service. I would never carry an iron ( I never check bags, all carry on and never full). Great service. Happy Sailing. Susanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobes1 Posted November 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2015 From what I have read, Windstar, like many other cruise lines, due to fire hazards, will not permit the use of irons and will not supply them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum60 Posted November 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2015 A small light weight [portable] cloths steamer can do 80 - 90% of what an iron can do and they don't pose a fire hazard like a flat iron. Most travel steamers are also switchable between 110 - 240 volt as well. There are several lightweight travel steamers available these days. Few if any are expensive. These compact steamers work very well in removing that 'slept in look' your suitcase or carry on bag has imparted on your cloths ;). I wouldn't travel without one.

dandee2 Posted November 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Their prices are very reasonable. You can send as little or as much as you want. You don't need the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
