Jean, if you read the "Welcome Aboard" brochure that comes with your documents (also on Carnival website), you'll see in bold print: "NO irons, heating pads, or candles allowed in cabins." These are HUGE fire hazards on a cruise ship. Carnival ships have two laundry rooms on each passenger deck. They have washers, dryers, ironing boards, and irons. Wrinkle Release works very well for me. (You CAN take a small travel steamer.)
