Clothes steamers ?

[cottoncandy]

I know that you can't take irons onboard, but can you take a travel steamer? I just came across one on HSN online and was wondering.

Thanks

We always bring ours—it’s not quite as good as ironing but for most clothes it works like a charm. You can also put what you are going to wear on the hook in the bathroom before a hot shower and it will do much of the work for you with the steam.

It sure is better than waiting for the iron!

i have taken a clothes steamer with me on my last two cruises, and to be honest, I have never used it. I try rolling some of my clothes, and then when the luggage arrives, i unpack and hang up everything, and have never found the need to steam out any wrinkles that downy wrinkle releaser wouldn't take care of.

official paperwork says that these cannot be used in the stateroom either

You can't bring travel irons?? No kidding?? My nice stuff always gets wrinkled when I pack, no matter what method I use. I can't use Downy Wrinkle Releaser because I am allergic to fragrance and chemicals. What can I do? (Besides use the community irons, which I don't want to hassle with and I hear they're not too hot anyway.)

You may bring your travel iron and/or steamer, but they can only be used in the laundry rooms on board ship. They may not be used in your staterooms.

Whew, good to know! Thanks Carol. I was sure worried there for a minute.

YW Melissa! I know others have posted that they have used the on board laundry service to have some clothing pressed, which is less $$ than full washing, etc. If you have a very nice formal gown, or something that is delicate, you could consider having your stateroom attendant take it down to be pressed by them.
