Our granddaughter is planning on bringing several princess dresses for our four night cruise next month and they wrinkle very easily. I’ve recently read that clothes steamers aren’t allowed. What do y’all do?
Double check the label as organza can melt with steaming or ironing. The safest option may be to run the shower and let the cooler steam from the bathroom let the wrinkles drop out if hung up
I agree with above -- just hang the dress(es) in the bathroom while the shower runs. As soon as you can unpack, get the dresses on hangers. Then make sure each day's dress is in the bathroom during shower time.
The ship offers pressing services which isn't too expensive. They do a great job. We would send our dressier attire to be pressed when we arrived on the ship.

I saw something about this on Facebook. Did you do one dress at a time or all at once? She’s probably going to want to wear at least one a day. I can iron the pirate outfit so it would be three dresses and, maybe, Tinkerbell. that she’s past the Tinkerbell stage by then.
As you hang it in the shower or just before give it a good dose of Downey wrinkle releaser. You can find it in the travel section. Be liberal with the spray and straighten it with your hands or some nice tugs. That should help the wrinkles fall out easier.
I carefully fold my items with plastic in between every part that touches other material even its own. By letting the material slide it is less apt to wrinkle. I use leftover dry cleaner bags or food storage bags that use twist ties, not zip lock.
As a former ballet dancer, we would all hang our tutus in the bathroom and take a hot shower to let the steam get all the wrinkles out. We only had one steamer backstage so we needed to have the worst of it already taken out
