Hi, cruisers! Does anyone know if hand held travel steamers are allowed onboard? I searched for the answer in archives but could not find a difinitive answer.
Thanks.  Read and post cruise reviews ------------------------------- Carnival Glory 2004 Carnival Liberty 2007 Carnival Inspiration 2008 Carnival Triumph 2008 |

I would think technically not but they would most likely not say anything. The worst they would do is ask you not to use it.
They say that blow dryers are not allowed but everyone brings them.

Thanks, Larry. No blowdryers?! I did not know that. Do you think they forbid these appliances because of the outlets in the cabin or is it strickly a fire concern?

Hi gang...Blow dryers are allowed. If you forget yours you can borrow one of theirs, I've done it. My understanding is that they don't like flat irons but they have never confiscated mine.I've tried to understand the difference between allowed electric hair curlers and straighters and a regular flat iron! They all are electric and get very hot. Didikay

If cruise lines didn't allow hair dryers, there would be some interesting hair do's on formal nights. True, they do not like irons, they don't seem to mind steamers. If there are rules against this, I have yet to see them enforced. Although, I wouldn't advise leaving one of these items plugged in while you are away from your stateroom.

Yes, no flat irons is their only rule, I believe.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I plan on taking my little steamer because I hear that the laundry rooms can get pretty crowded.
That brings me to another question. I am not and have never been great at packing. Does anyone have tips? Especially how to pack without extreme wrinkling of clothes?

I know it sounds weird, but I have found that by rolling my clothes up they don't wrinkle near as much as flat folding. This also allows for the packing of more items in one suitcase.

drlivingston, do you apply that technique to your evening dress as well if applicable? Thanks for the info. I never thought about doing that.

I'm not sure where I saw that hair dryers were not allowed, I looked on Carnival's site and saw nothing. Anyway most of the cabins have hair dryers, not very good ones though.

Tissue paper or leaving the plastic bags from the cleaners cuts down on wrinkles as well. You can hang your items in the bathroom and the steam will remove most of the wrinkles. I wouldn't worry too much, everyone has a few. They also have laundry service on board.

Rolling works for me also, less wrinkles. The semi exception is my dress shirt, I fold that in a more traditinal way and then roll it. I'm not sure what my wife does, She seems to get a lot of stuff in 1 suitcase and it all looks good to me, even the sequined gown for formal night. |

My problem, other than not packing correctly, is packing too much. For instance, last Christmas holiday, I visited NY for only 4 days and brought 3 suitcases. I am going on the Carnival Liberty 8 day Western Carib in October. I might break a record. Is this a "woman" thing or do men have problems with over-packing?

There is an issue on the ship having to do with CPS or cycles per second with the electricity. So I think some things under-perform and other electronic or electric things don't work at all.
It is true about the hair dryers on board, they are not very effective but they are in all the rooms. |

This man has always had an overpacking problem. Year by year I manage to whittle off a little unnecessary stuff--but after 30+ years I still come home each time with things I could have left home.
I ALWAYS use less clothes than I take; mainly dress slacks and shirts and underware. I keep forgetting that with all the swimming I do, and a couple of showers a day, I just don't need that much. But I'm still working on it. |

Ken, yes, they have been in every cabin I've been in, and yes, they are not as effective as what we use at home.
You may take your own, but it probable won't perform any better than the one in the cabin. |

About the hair dryers, I found this info. I am not sure if it is 100% because they are refurbishing all of the Fantasy Class ships. They are suppose to be re-doing the bathrooms. I don't know if putting in hair dryers is going to be a part of it.
Click Here We have taken a clothes steamer a few times and they didn't say anything. We unplugged it and stowed it away after use, so I don't know if they even knew  |

I guess I'm guilty on most levels. We have taken our clothes steamer and I have taken my flat iron. I'm traveling nowhere without my flat iron.
I go to the laundry room to use the ship's iron. A'ndrea |

you're worrying too much. a few minor wrinkles don't show up in the photos, and no one else cares....
