bryanmp729 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 is there a place to iron your clothes or can you bring an iron with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monorailmedic Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Irons are prohibited. Pretty much anything that heats up is prohibited with the exception of hair irons and such. Royal Caribbean does not have self-sevice laundry rooms, but they do have a laundry and dry cleaning service. The prices are a tad higher than on land, but no unreasonable. I beleive they do have a lower rate if you just need something pressed (I've done this on other lines, not 100%, but again, they definitely have dry cleaning). Their rules below: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&faqId=2608&faqSubjectId=333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 If you have a Grand Suite or above they provide a free press service before formal night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Nope. Disney cruise line has a couple community irons, but not Royal. I suggest downy wrinkle release spray. Mj99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRATL Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Irons are confiscated. They will find them when they scan your suitcases and give them back when you return to the origin. I tried to be sneaky a few times but have given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLA Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I've used steam from the shower in the past to get wrinkles out ChessE4 and RWDW1204 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonemanbob Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 The hot shower works great as does the steam room in the spa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 The clothes pressing service RC offers is not that expensive either for ironing select clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monorailmedic Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 The hot shower works great as does the steam room in the spa. This is what I often do on day one. Now, a funny story about this. While I do it on almost every cruise, I did run into a problem once, I think it was on the Disney Dream. After a few minutes I opened the bathroom door to get my clothes, and the water vapor rushed out of the bathroom. Well, there are several types of smoke dtectors out there - some look for products of combustion, some infrared light (flames/sparks), this one, well, I just know it didn't like the water vapor. Within seconds of opening the door the fire alarm went off and my stateroom phone rang. The bridge was calling to see what was happening in the room. Once I explained the silenced the alarm and I spent the muster drill apologizing for the noise and concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disney Fantasy actually has a sign in the bathroom requesting that you not keep the bathroom door open for this specific reason. My guess is that they added the sign after many false alarms on the Disney Dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packercruising Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It would be a pretty neat trick. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggy Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is One thing that really pisses me off! No laundry room? Then they should press for free! I’ve tried their service and it’s shockingly bad! Wrecked my dress shirt! I know it sounds crazy but that coupled with the constant charges for stuff which should be included has me booking with Princess Cruises! RCI just don’t learn! laundry room !

ChessE4 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Those who have read Jack Reacher novels know the trick about putting clothes under the mattress at night so they are flat in the morning....never tried it though; I stick to hanging something in the bathroom when I shower (the day before), and the next day it is largely wrinkle free.

AnnetteJackson Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 If someone in the room travels with a flat iron for hair - it can help iron out some of the wrinkled areas. I know it would take a long time to do a garment, but it is great for quick fixes. mom2mybugs and Mikeb1892 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FroggyFlo Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I expected any cruise line to have a laundry room, since Disney has one. Well, I guess I'll go wrinkled… My clothes will thus match my forehead... Mikeb1892 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookit Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 how about a travel steam iron- I think I used to bring them and had no problem, I haven't sailed in a long while but will try this September and bring it again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny260 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Use Downy wrinkle release spray, work wonders on shirts, pants, dresses and suite coast. The idea of steaming in the bathroom also works. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
