Aulayan Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I was rather surprised on my recent cruise. We put up some door decor, the person across from us had a 'On Honeymoon' decoration and I saw on another deck an Autism of the Seas door decoration and that was it. I didn't pass by every room but I did walk by a lot of them and I was shocked at how few were decorated. Then again, my first cruise was on Disney and at that point I was shocked at how many were decorated. Chadster and Debsters41 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttMutt Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm guessing most first timers don't decorate. I know I didn't but my first cruise was very different from most. Anyway here are a few things I have together so far. I kinda just wanted to do something different and fun and not worried if things get moved around. I have one more thing to print off and then i week be ready to go. Supposed to take about 7 hours to do so I'm going to start it in the morning but it will have a similar look to the game room sign.

Galveston Steve Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 We have often placed magnetic signs on our door, and enjoy seeing how others decorate their doors. Last week I observed an unrelated safety issue onboard that led me to review the Guest Conduct Policy in detail. I was surprised to see that placing items on doors or in corridors is prohibited by the Guest Conduct Policy. So in the interest of being completely accurate in this post: decorating your stateroom door without permission is technically prohibited, but is probably never enforced. This would also apply to those ducks that people like to hide around the ship. Quote from the Guest Conduct Policy: Inappropriate or abusive behavior is not permitted. This includes: uninvited physical contact, solicitation, harassment, vandalism, theft, violence, use of fake/false identification, underage drinking (see Alcohol section below), providing alcohol to those under the allowed age (see Alcohol section below), possession of illegal substances/items, placing materials (including signs, banners, decorations, etc.) anywhere on the exterior of the ship, placing materials anywhere on the interior of the ship (including stateroom doors, along corridors, etc.) without the express permission of ship management or which may be deemed by ship management as inappropriate, or any other illegal or offensive conduct.

HUH! I wonder if they will ever feel the need to enforce this...I feel like most people do it in a respectful and safe manner and those that don't get told to take it down so it's not yet been an issue of a few ruining it for all WAAAYTOOO, Neesa and Galveston Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337rose Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I would imagine most people who actually steal door decor have either had a few too many drinks or maybe they lost in the casino and wanted to feel like they were helping recoup some of losses (after a few to many drinks).. Or of course... kids! PPPJJ-GCVAB and Butters530 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingfever Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I was on the allure of the seas, someone took my custom door magnet. I notified security and they found it, they knocked on the person's door and it was a 33 year old man with his family, he said he was goofing around, and he was really embarrassed they found him DoomSlayer, WAAAYTOOO, Neesa and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomSlayer Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I found out the hard way that the door to the 2 bedroom grand suite on Allure was made of wood and not metal. I had a bunch of Happy Birthday magnets made for my daughter and could not use them on the door. Just had to hang them on the walls inside the suite.

Fastfaller Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I just picked up a small magnetic whiteboard to help communicating with my son. Let him know where we are or going etc.. It was only $6 but I will be very disappointed if it gets taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not advocating for or against, right or wrong, but as a retired firefighter I understand the likely reason for no corridor or door decorations. The interior finishes and floor coverings in the corridors are likely flame retardant. Stuff placed on corridor walls or doors, perhaps not so much. It isn't as much the fire hazard as much as smoke generation should a fire occur. Smoke packed to the floor in the primary means of escape should an evacuation be required........ Surprising a cruise line wouldn't enforce their own policy. Then again , our first cruise to celebrate Mrs Geezer's 48th anniversary of her 21st birthday had decorations on the corridor side of the cabin door that I ordered from RCL.

Ditchdoc Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D86MW921?th=1 Found these magnetic "hooks" made for Christmas lights. You could use these for the little battery powered fairy lights or perhaps with other light weight decorations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Rosengrant Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Are we allowed to put magnet decoration on our door BEFORE we get access to the room? I wanted to secretly put "happy birthday" magnets on our door before we are given the all clear to go to our rooms on day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Thomas Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 As much as I love this idea, I started thinking about how much information I was giving to strangers. I wanted to put something up on my kids' room so they could find it better and to say Happy Sweet 16" to my daughter, but then realized that I don't really want strangers knowing what room they are in or that our daughter was just turning 16. IF I do put anything on the door(s) it will be generic as to not give anything away. I don't want to make anyone a target, including my parents.

Most of the time, the doors to the stateroom hallways are closed while the stateroom attendants prepare the rooms for oncoming guests, so you may not have access ahead of time. The best option may be to sneak away for a bit when access is granted without your birthday guest and place your decorations. Another option is to purchase a "Happy Birthday Decorations" package in the Cruise Planner. There are options to have birthday decorations set up in your stateroom on Day 1 and an option to have decorations and a cake (chocolate or vanilla).

Personally, I put refrigerator magnets from ports I've visited in the past and on the present cruise. Otherwise I'll get something seasonal from Dollar Tree.

beccaball Posted Monday at 04:49 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:49 PM I always decorate our door- in our fb group we even were apart of a magnet exchange- there was like 50 of us who did a magnet exchange in their doors- we collected quite a bit. this past spring break I decorated my older teenage boys doors with a pirate using the loo and on my connecting door I had pirate magnets where passerby’s could leave me a fun pirate saying on the scroll I printed out the stuff people came up with was hilarious its all in good fun - if someone stole something - I didn’t even notice,…. I know that if I put it out there- there’s always that chance,…. But we always have fun with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va4fam Posted Monday at 05:13 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:13 PM A lot of people decorated their doors for Halloween last week. Very creative and fun. I'm going to try and find a flat tree that lights up for our Holiday cruise. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
