Arlene and Kathy: I know, I would throw it at him, if he bought it for me....but, months back there was a thread (I think Joanna started it) about Tony's love of this iron. Tony was in the laundry room on board gossiping with the women, if I remember correctly. Well, my husband does the same thing! He would go in there every afternoon or so and iron (because he thinks his pressing skills are better than mine, which they are). We would pass women on the ship and he'd exchange small talk with them and tell me Oh, I met them while ironing. Well, he met ALOT of women while ironing, apparently. Still didn't stop me from letting him press my dresses, though. He RAVED about the stupid ROWENTA for months. Little did I know how expensive they are!! I was in Tuesday morning yesterday and they had the $89 one for $49, NO he didn't want that one, he wanted the $150 one, they had it for $89. Joanna, is that a good price??? I would never spend that much on an iron, myself. But he ironed every stitch of clothing he could find last night and kept calling me down to look the "steaming" ability it had. It was just thrilling.
