whitsmom 325 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 I just got a small hand-held travel steamer for clothes and etc. Are these allowed to pack? I don't want to take it only to get it taken away. I have never had one of these so I its not going to upset me if I can bring it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twangster 22,602 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 By policy it's not allowed. I've never tried to bring one so can't comment on policy enforcement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NS8VN 244 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 Irons and steamers are on the prohibited list of just about every cruise line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UkuleleCruiser 164 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 We went to the "Naughty Room" once on an unrelated matter, and they had a huge stack of them that they'd pulled from luggage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitsmom 325 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 Well, I will be leaving that home! I figured it would be the same as an iron. My Alaska cruise isn't unit July and here I am already thinking about what I will need to take (or not in this case) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princevaliantus 948 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 Hang your wrinkled clothes in the bathroom. Turn on shower to hot and steam the wrinkles away. Just be careful when you open the bathroom door not to have steam hit the smoke detector as it will set it off..... and VOILA!! 1 1 whitsmom and Ray reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whenismynextcruise 151 Report post Posted February 14, 2018 Geema that is brilliant. I get my hair cut every 3 weeks at the barber with a #2 clipper. Yet now feel the need to have a flat iron in my luggage! 1 Geema reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ari 1 Report post Posted February 14, 2018 There is actually a really awesome new electricity-free travel steamer that could be brought anywhere called Presteam on Kickstarter. You can stick it in your carry-on or suitcase and it won't get taken away. http://kck.st/2GWRk8f or website www.presteampack.com 1 whenismynextcruise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BopRN 3 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 I have a travel steamer I have taken on 15 cruises and it has never been confiscated. It is shaped differently and I don't think they know it is a steamer. This isn't exactly it, but it looks similar. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Norelco-Travel-Care-Fabric-Steamer-Wrinkle-Remover-w-Carry-Pouch/162895644320?hash=item25ed5646a0:g:tdoAAOSwp7tafmRl 1 1 whitsmom and Geema reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be a total coincidence that you are posting nothing but messages praising it Pretty sure repackaged Flameless Ration Heaters are not allowed on cruise ships. 1 Geema reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiny260 1,604 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 I think some of us might be missing the point, it's not whether we can get them on the ship or not, we don't want anything on the ship with a heating element that the Cruise ship company and Coast Guard see as a possible fire threat. Fire on a ship is a bad thing. 1 Geema reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiny260 1,604 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Or if wrinkles bother you that much, send them out and get them pressed, they usually run a special pressing price during most cruises. Just spend a little coin... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
