Sorry your vacation went this way. Unfortunately, you have to ask for an iron on every ncl.

From the sound of your review, maybe cruising isn't for you. It seems you spent your entire cruise looking for things to complain about. I've been on several NCL cruises over the last year and had a great time with no complaints about food quality or service.

No cabin has an iron. Fire hazard.
