Hootsie Posted February 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I posted this in another thread about "looking fresh" but it will get lost. I thought we COULD have steamers and I've always brought them on other cruises. Actually, I'm still bringing it on this one. It's just a tiny thing and way less of a hazard than my curling iron. Per Celebrity.com: Are steamers allowed onboard? Steamers or irons are not allowed onboard. However, there is a full laundry and dry-cleaning service available onboard for a reasonable rate. Double post. Dang Cruise Critic! FIX THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Island Lady Posted February 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2008 When they ban the hair straightener (that can also double for an ironing of pants legs, if needed;)) that's when I will have to stop cruising. I don't have a problem looking fresh, but my hair would be a mess without that straightener. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leela Posted February 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Wthe hair straightener (that can also double for an ironing of pants legs, if needed;)) Oh my, thanks for that awesome tip! I hadn't thought of using it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfromftlaud Posted February 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2008 On the first day send send your clothes out for pressing service. The charge for pressing is very reasonable and you never have to waste time doing it yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugger Posted February 20, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2008 On the first day send send your clothes out for pressing service. The charge for pressing is very reasonable and you never have to waste time doing it yourself! I normally spend hours and I mean hours prior to going on a cruise ironing. And, then I get there and unpack to wrinkles. A lot of them fall out after hanging - if need be in the steam frm the shower and or using Downy Wrinke Release. BUT, I'm wondering what X typically charges for pressing. I could save all that those hours prior to cruising and enjoy the anticipation of the cruise instead :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berryhappy24 Posted February 20, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The pressing service is very worth the cost. The less work the better when I'm on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley and Les Posted February 20, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2008 What???? Me and DW always bring a few dozen along with us... During sailaway, we always like to light up the ole propane burner, heat up that pot of water and have a grand old time. Shuck a couple, slurp, and then heave the shells overboard. Pop an MGD, chug, chug, and then toss the empty over the side. A little sexual interlude......if you catch my drift :rolleyes: Oops, I thought this was the Carnival board................... Never mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugger Posted February 20, 2008 #11 Share Posted February 20, 2008 post Hootsie - that is reasonable. Sure would make life less stressful when preparing for a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
