cjd930 Posted July 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I know you can't bring one on the ship but, will they provide one for you to use in you cabin for a short time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted July 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2018 They are in the self serve laundromat and free to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted July 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2018 As mentioned, there is an iron available (with ironing board) in the laundrettes on each deck, free of charge. But no, they will not provide an iron for in-cabin use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, they will not provide an iron for in-cabin use. Not quite. While there are usually several launderettes on Carnival ships there isn't one on each deck. I wouldn't want to misinform the OP. Often the irons are the Sunbeam Simple Press Iron with the Burst of Steam feature. There is no guarantee your ship will have this particular model of iron but I have seen them on multiple ships of the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted July 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 4, 2018 They do not have any for in cabin use, but like others have said you can go to the self service launderettes on just about every passenger cabin deck. They are hard wired into the wall and cannot be removed. Don’t know what ship you’re going on but here’s where they are on the Conquest Class.

I was going to ask the OP which ship in particular they were sailing and I could then give them the locations of the laundrettes. I suppose I should have qualified my earlier post with "laundrettes located on just about every passenger cabin deck" but oh well. Maybe the OP will tell us the ship so we can be more specific.

Just their luck in this Conquest example they'd be staying on deck 3, 4, or 5. On Conquest class 30% of the decks do not have a launderette. Some Americans will never ask for directions ;) Joe I do try to be helpful.

Some help I am but to be fair I got the iron info accurately as best as I can report from my experiences with Carnival. I didn't pay that much attention to the brand of irons, but there are no passenger cabins on Decks 3, 4, or 5 on Conquest Class ships. There are irons/launderettes on all passenger cabin decks with the exception of decks 10 and 11. That is why I worded my response the way I did.

In this case I was a bit sloppy and not as specific as I should have been and I do appreciate your clarification. And yes, I do remember the ad blocker suggestion and it was (and still is) appreciated!

sanmarcosman Posted July 5, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This is the Sunbeam iron we have used on Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted July 5, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 5, 2018 In over 35 Carnival cruises, I have never seen an iron on board any Carnival ship I've sailed. That is because I have never been in any Carnival laundromat. As a beginner cruiser I utilized the $15 laundry bag specials, and have continued that practice except it's been free for some time. I've never seen a sunrise from any cruise ship I've sailed either. I can't stay up that late anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Posted July 5, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 5, 2018 yeah but a hot iron comes in handy for a wrinkled dress shirt on formal night--RCCL doesn't have an iron so I had to go with the alternative--put shirt in bathroom on hanger and turn on shower at hottest level. The hot mist works pretty well but there will be some moisture in shirt until it dries out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted July 6, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 6, 2018 And check the bottom of the iron before you start ironing. A couple of them that I've seen have some crud on the bottom of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanmarcosman Posted July 6, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 6, 2018 And check the bottom of the iron before you start ironing. A couple of them that I've seen have some crud on the bottom of them. That's good advice wherever you go. On the Imagination the irons in all the launderettes had burned on crud making them useless. As I was stepping out of the third launderette I spied a housekeeping supervisor. Upon hearing of the situation she took full responsibility to get the irons replaced by the next morning. When I returned to a different launderette the next morning the iron had been replaced with a brand new iron. Supervisor Delia earned high praise on the post cruise survey for that sailing. Point being: if you see irons in need of repair/replacement it can't hurt to pass along your findings to a supervisor or to stop by guest services when they aren't busy to bring it to their attention. My posts here make it sound like all I do is iron on Carnival. :) Not so. I place shirts in plastic bags when packing and they still get long creases in them. Removing the creases takes 4 minutes when the launderette is vacant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted July 6, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 6, 2018 On a few NCL sailings we've been on, and as recent as the last couple of years, they do make irons and ironing boards available for personal use (like loaner fans) in your cabin. Perhaps it's only a suite perk, I'm not sure. We have taken advantage of it a couple of times. Have never seen anything like this take place on other lines we've sailed.
