Door Decorations

[Nick D]

Are we allowed to out something magnetic on front of door

[KaydenDeen]

Hi Nick. I think they are permitted. I found this link to something posted on this blog back in May…

Hope that helps

[bhageerah]

ABSOLUTELY!!!  As long as it does not damage anything you won't have any problem!  We don't put anything on our doors but we have seen quite a few decorations, or people that have put dry erase boards on their doors.  

[Nick D]

Thank you

You can. Don't expect that they'll necessarily stay there.  My magnetic decorations began to walk off within 2 hours, and the white board I used on the next cruise was defaced at least 4 times a day until I finally had to give up trying to leave messages for my friends.

Same thing happened to us on our last cruise. Won’t be leaving anything on our door again.

Can y'all share where you order your custom door magnets from?

[codyh21]

I have a couple from my RC Periscopers group I’m a part of.  I actually like it because my room stands out when it’s in the middle of a long hall. I have friends who basically cover their doors with magnets, no issues.

@CruisingKat(Kathy) makes the best!

We're first time cruisers on the Allure in January.  I purchased the customized magnet decorations from Etsy.  The smaller ones are card stock from Amazon which I placed magnetic tape on the back.  I thought it would be a fun idea to decorate our cabin door but from what I hear these might not last long.

I made my own and printed through vista print.  They have lasted quite a few cruises.  I will probably also add small lights to the door . with magnets for the thanksgiving cruise and RCL group cruise.  I have done it for .few cruises and put them on a timer.

Looks great!  For your sake I do hope that people manage to look but not touch!  Looks like quite a bit of love and thought went into making them!

Those look great, @QB7002

[sabarwolf]

Yes, you can. And Dollar Stores have some things which can make great door decorations.

My first RCCL sailing and while we are super low key, coming over from DCL I could not help myself as it is a Thanksgiving sailing we are on. I purchased just a very few card stock messages (Give Thanks, I like big boats & I can not lie, a small turkey pic) & I laminated them myself, then I affixed magnetic strips to the backs. I enjoyed this DIY venture and it brought me joy when I was making them for our door this sailing. I really hope they don't vanish but if they do, well I will be prepared. As far as the white board I packed I guess I will leave that inside the stateroom. I just don't understand though, when I look at others doors I enjoy looking, I would never, ever in a million years think wow let me take that! Fingers crossed my creations will stay put the entire sailing. They truly make me smile

I know, right ?  Who steals stuff off of other people’s’ doors ?  I know it happens....sadly...but I just don’t get it.

Sometimes jokesters/drunksters will grab them as they pass by and stick them on other folks' doors.  I find that's usually what happens when they disappear.

[Nick D]

My girlfriend made this. I hope it doesn't get messed up or stolen.

[CrznTxn]

We decorate our door every cruise as it is easier to find the room and gives a custom look. Never in all the years we have been sailing have we lost a decoration. Either we have been lucky or the decorations are so bad that no one would bother them.

Unfortunately for us, someone kept writing lewd comments on our white board.  It was disappointing and we finally had to just take the white board down.

I designed/printed this one for our birthdays on Freedom this August and no one messed with it!

I think the more custom the magnets are to you, the less someone else will want to steal it for their door. Much harder to say "oh IIIII bought this at the dollar store" about something that says a name or date on it.

Which seller on Etsy did you use. These are great. Hope you don’t mind sharing. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!

[PG Cruiser]

Here’s mine, it’s been on five cruises now.  Should have been six but I left the first one I made on the Harmony.

I made it in Adobe Illustrator! We're sailing another line in 19 days, this reminds me I gotta make a Christmas version. 

[spiralqueen]

I made our door decorations by putting magnets on the back of some cute cardboard cutouts made for teacher decorations

Hi! I don't mind at all.  She's a lovely lady and was a quick turnaround.  Her name is Heidi from "StudioSeaByMe".

New to site; tried to reply to another user. It appears I didn't do it correctly.

Are they still allowing Door Decorating for cabin doors? #decorate #door #magnets

[AshleyDillo]

Yes..same rules still, no tape and nothing sticky. Doors are magnetic!

[Tmsmith]

I ordered from Etsy and it was really inexpensive.   I think that if the decorations are not generic so anybody could use, they are less likely to walk off. 

[CrimsonCruiser]

Door decor still allowed. Crew saw me in the process of putting ours up (on odyssey a few weeks back) and never said anything and no one bothered it.

Used dollartree poster putty (which pulled off cleanly) on a cut-down dollar tree photo backdrop. In fact everything but "Chi-town" came from dollar tree

[parkyy2k]

You’d never miss your cabin! Looks great!

[S0nny]

I prefer having decorations! It makes it easier when stumbling back to the room 

[Seadog]

Yes. My wife and I have been using magnetic door decorations for years. Can't wait to got back to cruising so we can hang our banner.

[SPS]

@CrimsonCruiser There's no way I would do this to our cabin door. It takes away too much of the time that's needed to find and try all the bars!  

[whitsmom]

I use magnetic personalized door sign (11" x 17") that can also be a dry erase board.  Comes in handy when we go with family for notes.  It sure makes it so much easier to find our cabin (especially the first couple of days).

[sabarwolf]

Absolutely. Just make sure to use magnets to attach to the door.

[MuttMutt]

I am in the process of 3D printing a bunch of stick figure people to put on our door.  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1010826

Have stuck them on a few little neodymium magnets so they can be moved around on the door.  I figure it will be something a little different and interesting.
