music Posted October 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Is a handheld clothing steamer allowed? I did a search but couldn't find anything. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted October 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2022 If it plugs in and gets hot then I doubt it It's not mentioned because not something used much by anyone Soo many good fabrics for traveling that don't need ironing or steaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very IFY…I’d say no. This is very close to a clothes iron. They do have launderettes OB with irons and ironing boards on almost every deck. Prohibited items: Hookah and Water Hookah Pipes, candles and incense, strike-anywhere matches, clothing irons, heating pads, hot plates, kettles, coffee makers, toasters and other electronic cooking appliances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongecakenibbler Posted October 1, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2022 We have brought our $20 travel steamer on every Princess cruise and have never had an issue. You'll notice it is not explicitly listed in the prohibited items. We just returned from a twelve-day cruise on Emerald yesterday afternoon. It was in our checked luggage and kept in plain sight of the stewards throughout the cruise. It saved me a lot of hassle, wrinkles, and long trips to the hot laundromat.

It's not listed as a prohibited item on their web site. But it appears that they have other lists of prohibited items that includes irons and clothes steamers. Just part of the inconsistencies with Princess. I took one on many cruises, but then on one of the cruises to took it and gave it back to me when we were leaving the ship.

Kay S Posted October 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Can you heat up your water in a clothes steamer and then use it to make a cup of tea? 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it's so much easier to just roll out of bed and sip a fresh cup on the balcony! 😁 I ordered one of those water heaters for use in some other travel situations. It's just so cute!

Typically, it is the auto-off feature that fails causing the appliance to catch fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
