Coastmonkey1 Posted June 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi we will be cruising our first MSC cruise on the Fantasia in October and I know there are no self service laundries onboard like there are with Princess. We are going to book a laundry package as our cruise is 12 days but was just wondering if you just wanted to iron a shirt or pair of trousers are there facilities which allow this? As we don't want to be sending things down to the laundry just for ironing. Any advice would be appreciated.

1fifthavenue Posted June 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Always falls down to me in our house too! At least you wont have to spend time onboard ironing :) I always pack my clothes in vacuum bags after folding them neatly, this stops them moving during the flight so prevents creasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee12 Posted June 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is there definitely no way to take a travel iron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted June 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2017 They're deemed a fire risk and may be removed from your luggage during the scanning process. It is against the terms and conditions of MSC, although I am sure others will report to have taken them, the rule is not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee12 Posted June 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ok so I'm thinking about buying the 40 piece laundry deal seems a shame sending stuff to get washed when it only needs ironed? Assuming we have something for the first evening how soon can I send stuff to laundry and get it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted June 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I agree, it is frustrating In my experience, laundry is done so it is back within one to two days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted June 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I pack a spray bottle of Downy Wrinkle Release. It doesn't replace ironing but it's nice to knock some of the wrinkles out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee12 Posted June 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I wonder what uk equivalent is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted June 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2017 There are some similar products on Amazon if you look for wrinkle release spray - not sure if it's against the rules to post links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWOOD1012 Posted June 27, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I ALWAYS carry a small steamer. Have NEVER had issue. Helps with many wrinkles. Downy Wrinkle release has a travel size at Target also. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee12 Posted June 27, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ok thanks will pick this up at target after our cruise for future use. I don't mind using laundry service I'm worried items like trousers that do not have a centre crease because there not meant to come back from laundry with one?

TMWOOD1012 Posted June 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 27, 2017 How soon are you traveling? Also, you should be able to put special instructions on your laundry order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted June 27, 2017 #19 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I have read here that you can make your own by taking a spray bottle, filling it with water and adding a dryer sheet. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWOOD1012 Posted June 27, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Not all are irons. Something like this is what I always take. No problems! Great reviews on this one: https://www.amazon.com/Garments-Wrinkles-Lightweight-Portable-Furniture/dp/B06W577V7L/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1498578929&sr=8-25&keywords=travel+steam+iron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee12 Posted June 27, 2017 #22 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ah ok . I'm sure some models of these are a lot better than others and having never used one I would be interested to see how much creases they do remove. - maybe I should start another thread lol especially if anyone based in uk takes one with them.

mara93 Posted June 27, 2017 #23 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I used a steamer. My flat iron was confiscated but the steamer wasn't. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
