Just a 'lit tip! Take a few balloons, blow 1 up, drape your panties over....they will dry quickly!! Why? Who knows! Another good tip, invest in a small travel steamer....I think I paid $17.95 for mine. They are so easy and it's so convenient to quickly steam out wrinkles! I simply do not wear wrinkled clothes! At home or on a holiday!

A lot of my formal clothes are Dry Clean only---wouldn't a steam iron ruin them?

If you buy the small hand held type steamer it works great! My steamer brand is "Travel Smart".....I don't hold it toooo close to the garment...the steam will UN-wrinkle in a "flash!" I steam everything....even my very dressy black sequined evening pants! Purchase one and practice at home before your cruise! I think you'll really enjoy it!

Wonder if you folks that can't afford laundry service, or are tired of being screwed by the cruise lines should just stay home--you are probably the same people that ruin a fun vacation complaining about the price of a drink too.

No I don't ever complain about the cost of drinks because I only cruise all-inclusive lines where the drinks are included......but I take my handy steamer! It's called convenience!!

Once again, a legitimate question has turned into a sniping attack. Dave, I'm sure your mother tried to teach you manners.<BR><BR>Previously, I asked a legitimate question on QE2 grill class, and one respondent went into a litany on how snotty the staff was, how they &quot;looked down&quot; on her, and only snobs could enjoy that environment. This did not help me in my decision. BTW,she was a TA and comped...the people we are supposed to go to for unbiased advice. <BR><BR>

Lew...as we say in Texas, &quot;just who invited all these rude people?&quot;<BR>Someone will merely ask a question, then usually they will receive very nice informative reply posts.....why is it that always in a big barrel of apples there seems to be one that is rotten? 'lest we forget......this is SUPPOSE to be fun!
