At home microwave for 20 seconds to get the moisture out of the bread then into the toaster oven or onto the frying pan to finish.
In you're in a hotel room I suggest getting the iron as hot as possible, apply a little pressure and there you have it a very toasty grilled cheese.
Just don't use the steam function or you will be right back where you started
For the best method have 3, 4 or 5 beers or glasses of wine or any other drink you prefer and then really won't care if it's soggy, you'll eat it anyway and be happy

The only things that don't get cooked in or on cast iron are pretty much soups/stews/beans.

You could reheat a grilled cheese sandwich... but why? It's a cheap dish and fast to make. Just get a fresh one. I wouldn't try to save a McDonald's hamburger to reheat later. I'd just pay another $0.99 and get a fresh one. I mean, unless I'm stuffing food in my pockets out of fear that I'll find myself stranded on a desert island... which strangely has a toaster oven.

No. You do not want a screetching hot pan. That will only burn the bread and leave the cheese solid. You want to bring a pan to heat at a moderate rate such that most of the cheese is remelted before you flip.

Good point. I know when you prepare a grilled cheese, you want to cook it at a low temperature so the cheese melts before the bread browns.

I'd reheat it the same way I do pizza. If you are thinking forward, leave it on the counter for about 30-45 minutes to let it warn up to room temperature. Then simply place it in a Good non stick pan on medium heat turning very often say 40 to 60 sec intervals.
Both pizza and grilled cheese should be very close to original taste and texture.
