Can You Take A Steam Iron On A Cruise Ship
All Fred Olson and PO Cruises as well and some Thomson Cruises offer self-service launderettes with ironing boards according to Cruise Critic.
Can you take a steam iron on a cruise ship. You cannot bring an iron on a cruise. Pretty much anything that heats up is prohibited with the exception of hair irons and such. Irons and clothes steamers are prohibited items and should not be brought with you.
With the crack about smokerssince 1934 there has only been ONE fire onboard a ship not a cruise ship that was confirmed as being started by a cigarette---thats counting 64 fires. The ships laundry will have some available for your use. However if such devices are determined to pose a hazard they will be removed and returned on the last day of the cruise prior to disembarkation.
Most fires are electrical in nature see above about irons start in the engine room or the galley or are cause by arson. In your cabin personal grooming items such as hairdryers travel irons curling tongs hair straighteners and shavers are permitted when used with proper caution. Also check to make sure you wont need a voltage adapter if you.
I took my steam iron on Glory In 2017 with no issues. That being said the ships stewards are able to bring you one at your request. It is shaped differently and I dont think they know it is a steamer.
However each ship has at least 2 self-service launderettes located on the stateroom decks. You can request just pressing or steaming only without a full dry cleaning or washing. Every cruise line has their own policy but in general most companies prohibit the same items.
We always take a steamer an have never had it confiscated. Liquor flammables and illegal items. Can I take my hair straightener on a cruise.
