iron allowed on ncl pride of aloha and hairdriers provided?

I am a first time cruiser and I heard rumour that Irons were not allowed on ship, is this true and do they have one they can provide for you. DO they also have blowdyersa nd are you allowed to have small scissors on the ship. Thanks for your help!

Do you live on Oahu? Even if they allow scissors aboard the ship, I doubt the airlines will.

There's no self service laundrys aboard th ePride of Aloha or Pride of America. I expect the Pride of Hawaii does. Ships with self service laundrys usually have irons at the self sevice laundrys. There's usually significantly more fire suppression capability at the self service laundrys than in your cabin.
They will not issue you an iron for your cabin. Irons are considered fire hazards by many; some cruise lines will not allow you to bring them aboard. Although the NCL web site fails to mention them specifically.
I recommend taking a travel steamer instead of an iron aboard.
There are hair dryers in every cabin aboard every NCL ship.

Thanks Ron for your help. I know they will not allow you to bring scossors on the plane but I was going to buy a small cheap pair in ohau, and the steamer is a great idea, thanks for the tip!
