I asked alot of these questions before I cruised and so I like to let you know of our experience. Please know its just our opinion and not a must do.

I ironed ALL of our clothes before packing them (big waste of time) Everything was wrinkled when we unpacked. I did bring the Downy wrinkle releaser and I won't leave home without it ever again. It was great for shorts, t shirts and all casual clothing.
We sent all DH's dinner clothing to get pressed once on board,as it all was wrinkled, pants, dockers, shirts and suit and 1 of my dresses and my blazer

The cost like Dave said is half the dry cleaning price which turned out to be $16.75 for us, for everything that we needed pressed. It was worth every penny and next time I will know to just budget $25.00 for pressing, in case more things need it.

Joanne, It sounds well worth the price.

I brought a travel steamer with me and it took care of the things that the Downey wrinkle remover didn't. I just spread some towels on the little table, and steamed the stuff on that.

There are also a couple of hook thingies in the room that I hung clothes off of while using the wrinkle remover, and that helped.

OBTW, there are 3 laundry rooms on board. Somehow, I had it in my head that the only one is on Deck 6, but there's a larger one on Deck 7 and I think Deck 2 has one as well. Each has an iron.

Hi Lisa...So you had no problem with the steamer in your room. Hmmm Something to think about then.

Amanda loved meeting Kaylie, she wished she got to hang with her. It's funny how you meet people from these boards and like Joe says put a face with the name.

Maybe you can sail next year with us again. Ya never know.
