Quick question.... I have a 6 layer crinoline to wear under my formal (yes, I'm going for the princess look). Is there a number I can call to find out exactly how much it will cost to have that pressed once aboard? And to find out how much to have my gown pressed? Thanks.

OMG - I bet that is going to look awesome - take pictures and share.
I have made a copy of your question and as soon as I find out, will post the answer.

PS - it may be less expensive by taking own your travel iron, but that is my my own thoughts.

Thanks!!! That's so sweeet of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I mgiht end up taking an iron... but then again I never iron anything and if it's not tooo expensive, I might just have them do it. It'd be nice to know waht it costs and then I can determine if it's worth bringing the iron.

Thanks again for checking for me!!!!

I just found out, irons are NOT suppose to be taken on board - anyhow someone is checking with the ship as we speak - will let you know as soon as I find out something else.

I read they have irons and ironing boards in the laundry rooms on the ship.

Hey Shirley,

Have another question for you. You know there's been a lot of confusion lately about what we can or cannot bring/pack. My recent understanding is that we can bring alcohol onboard if we have it in a carryon. I got a couple of soft-sided rolling coolers and figured I'd use them as carryons (have to measure them as I heard somewhere they have to be 22x18x9 or something like that). But the same place where I got the measurements (one of the guys on my cruise's thread) also said that beverage coolers are not allowed. Does that mean these softsided coolers will not be allowed? I'm so confused!!!!!

The size of the carry on is the size equal to the airline requirements small carry on AND YES they are speaking about the softsided coolers. It MUST BE ABLE TO FIT THROUGH THE X-RAY MACHINE WITHOUT ANY SQUEEZING ETC.
Yes you can carry alcohol onboard if its in your carryon for DCL will NOT be responsible if anything breaks and something is ruined.
Hope that will help.

Not to beat a dead horse, but just want to be sure I understand. No soft-sided coolers at all, even if they do fit through the x-ray machine without squeezing?

I'm looking all over for pictures that were posted of the rolling cooler that could be brought on board. I think it was one from Sears?

Does anyone know which one I mean and would that one be ok?

Thanks!

We got this one from Sam's Club (hopefully it's acceptable): http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=361652

 

[Hypermommy]

Well, I checked on the dimensions. I'm guessing if the Sam's Club one is right then this will be okay. It's 13.5 x 9.5 x 19.0 and it's at Walmart (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2603675).

 

[snelsonbrown]

I understand for the exalt dimensions, you will find it in your DCL sailing brochures. This information was given to me by DCL.

I think that's it. Thanks.
