kentuckymom Posted February 16, 2008 #26 Share Posted February 16, 2008 A Tip I Learned A Few Years Ago (thanks To The Boards) Pack Each Item In A Dry Cleaning Bag. It Really Works!!!! I Iron Everything Before We Leave, Something I Never Do, And Pack With The Dry Ceaning Bags Between Each Layer Of Clothing. Clothes Always Come Out Looking Great. Good Luck!!!!!:d :d :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheri18 Posted February 17, 2008 #27 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I didn't know you were not allowed to bring irons on the ship!! I am an iron freak and can't travel without one. I have had my mini travel iron on nearly every cruise. NOW I KNOW!!! i am like you, i allways bring a travel iron, i too didnt know that they werent allowed.. but to be quite honest with you, my chi flat iron for my hair gets hotter than my travel iron, and thats allowed...

ladycaveat Posted February 17, 2008 #28 Share Posted February 17, 2008 can i take an iron on board for my dress paints or do they have one for me to use In a word . . . NO . . . but why would you want to? You're on vacation . . . if something needs to be ironed . . . either don't bring it or send it out to be ironed. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentureMan_2000 Posted February 17, 2008 #32 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have taken a travel Iron on 9 cruises and never got it taken Just because you haven't gotten caught doesn't mean it's OK. I'm sure there exists some king of fire hazzard... most likely with the electrical system of the ship if you use a iron. Carnival is very clear about not allowing irons. I'm sure this policy is not in place to inconvienence you... but for the safty of you and the other passengers on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentureMan_2000 Posted February 19, 2008 #36 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm sure the circuits in the laundry room are wired for irons. I'm sure the same is not true of your stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUH? It has little to do with leaving it on. It's the electrical systems in the cabins that cannot handle that voltage. This would cause either a system failure or an electrical fire.

When you have your own cruise ship, you can make the safety rules :D It's a rule put in place for safety, why anyone would EVER question a safety rule is beyond me. Unless you are the one that wired the ship, you don't know the reason... it's not up to us to ignore something put in place for the safety of our fellow passengers. IMHO it's completely selfish :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
