Thread: Can someone answer this ?

Can I bring a travel Iron on the cruise?? we will be on Carnival Fantasy!

None of the cruise lines allow travel irons on cruises - safety issue.

Some of the of Carnival ships do have self-serve laundry, but I'm not familiar with the Fantasy - perhaps someone else on here who has been on the ship can provide information on this.

We take a small travel steamer with us on our cruises and haven't had any problems.

But all ships provide pressing services for a small fee.

I was on the Ecstacy back in 2002, so I don't know if they still have a self-service laundry, but I do think all of the Carnival ships do have them. There are irons and ironing boards in each of the laundry rooms.

Most likely any irons that are in your luggage and carry ons will be spotted and put in a "safe place" until after your cruise is over (then they'll probably give them back). Better just to keep yours home. Take along some Downy Wrinkle Releaser (Downy Wrinkle Releaser | The Spray That Smoothes Out Wrinkles In Seconds). If you look in enough stores, you should be able to find the travel size.

Thanks so much I forgot about the downy spray that should do the trick!! And We will be on Fantasy

Good tips....Excited for you and your Carnival Fantasy cruise. Have fun!

Hi,

Fantasy should have a couple of laundries on board. If memory serves me one is level 7 forward. Just try and do your laundry at unusual times, they get packed at times like 3pm on formal night and the last day of the cruise.

Why would anyone want to spend the last day of the cruise doing laundry? Couldn't it wait until they get home?

Gosh, my eyes must be bonkers if I read the Fantasy as the Ecstasy.

Neal, when we have gone on a cruise that's followed by a land trip (we've done that a few times), we sometimes need to do a bit of laundry. Usually we don't on the last day of the cruise, but maybe that's a good day if that means an available machine.

Now that makes sense. We had four days in NYC after our TA which meant that we had to have extra clothes for those days. No laundry facilities on Celebrity!

We were smart, though and had one suitcase dedicated to the clothes we needed for New York. Considering how small our hotel room was (smaller than the ship cabin!), it was a lifesaver to not have to shuffle between suitcases.
