Personally I think taking clothes that needs to be ironed is impractical to begin with.


What would you recommend? There are two formal nights, and the other nights are just normal dressy/casual. I mean, you can't wear ath-leisure to dinner.

Unfortunately that's the first mistake. Doesn't need to be hard-sided but unstructured luggage definitely wrinkles things way more.

You can pack a travel steamer. I'm sure you can request an iron and ironing board on the cruise. You can probably pay a lot and outsource it too.


Cruise ships do not allow irons in cabins. Period.

Hang the clothes up while you are showering to release some wrinkles.

Pack tissue paper between the layers.

I'm not sure a steamer will make it through screening. Some cruise lines have a public laundry with iron, but you will not be able to get an iron on the cruise.

What I normally do is:
1) Roll the clothes. Do not fold them - that creates creases.
2) Bring downy wrinkle release. Spray them once they are unpacked and hung up. Spray them again if needed right before wearing.

I've been told to roll up the clothes and put something in the center to shape the roll, like socks or underwear, perhaps a nicely closed bottle of shampoo.
I've never actually tried that method, but lots of people swear by it.

Going on a cruise, so I won't have access to an iron. Is there a way to pack clothing to minimize wrinkles? I'm primarily concerned about my husband and kids' polos and my tees/blouses. Pants, too.
