Safemike1 Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Am I still allowed to place decorations on the outside of my cabin door? I had heard that some of the cruise lines were prohibiting this practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditchdoc Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Just use some common sense like not blocking the passage, not vulgar, not dangerous and don't damage the door. CrimsonCruiser, Cactus527, Thumper44 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Mike Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 I just got off the Allure of the Seas and there were lots of door decorations for easter. The one issue is there were tons of kids and some of them were taking or moving door decorations.

The one issue is there were tons of kids and some of them were taking or moving door decorations. I've seen this too (although rarely). My rule of thumb: don't leave anything outside your room you can't live without. That said, we always put a small magnetic white board outside of our cabin to communicate with each other and to the cabin steward. We've frequently met other passengers because they were playfully writing on our white board. It's been fun!

Mike n Ky Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Invariably I will have a morning during a cruise when I will wake up way too early. On that morning I head to Cafe Promenade to grab me a cup of coffee and begin to do my daily walk but rather than use the walking track I walk the halls of each deck. The only reason I do this is to view the various door decorations. Some of the better or more interesting I will take a quick pic of. Perhaps due to the well used drink package there will be a number of doors that aren't completely closed. The most unusual thing I have ever seen was a pair of lace panties hung on a door knob.

whitsmom Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 We have a customized magnet that we put on our door. I like to use it so help find our door easier (in the beginning). I just bought a new one and it is currently on our refrigerator just waiting until October.... Kirsten, FloatyBoaty and Thumper44 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hijacking this thread for door decor idea help. I'm looking for some clever snappy word play to put on our door for Harmony. I want to incorporate Oasis or Harmony and the fact that this will be our first Diamond sailing but I also don't want it to be cliche (no "Diamonds are a girls' best friend" for example). When we did Odyssey, I did "from Chi-town to Seabound" for a little bit a slant rhyme. Let me know what cleverer minds think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a stab at it. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is an old Pink Floyd Album. And "Like a ballad with simple harmony" is a quote from John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival).

My first 45 was probably the best 45 ever. A side Magic Carpet Ride. B side Born to Be Wild. How could you not fall in love with rock music after that?

Babsy47 Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 On our last cruise a couple of weeks ago, door magnets multiplied on our door from some unknown source(s)? I just left them thinking that someone might eventually retrieve their property. They were happy magnets, so they were fine. No idea why and I’ve never had it happen before. fireclan and anneglubis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Waters Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Several doors down from us on Liberty in October was this door decoration; it was on 3 or 4 doors along there. It wasn't close enough to us to be an issue, but I imagine the neighbors knew every time people walked by late at night LOL 20221024_121700.mp4 anneglubis, Cactus527, Montemy2419 and 3 others 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyDilly51 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 I am going on a RC cruise next week so I called the customer service number to inquire if I can decorate my room door and was told it is not allowed! Clearly they lied? So I was planning to wrap the door in a thin plastic table cloth and secure it on the inside of the door. No tape to the door at all. Would that work? Thanks.

I think technically it isn't actually allowed. But the enforcement of that is non-existent and I think as long as we (the overall general we) don't damage the doors or take the snappy wordplay too far, they won't bother cracking down on it. It's a fun tradition and obviously they do it too with their own merch so...yeah Anywho, I did something similar with dollar tree plastic tablecloths. The first time I used dollar tree poster putty. Second time I just used magnets. I do recommend the magnets as they were easier to deal with. Dollar tree will have them usually in the school supplied section. Never had issue with either version, though, and our stateroom attendant even made sure to fix anything that went askew. anneglubis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottD Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 We had a white board on our door, supporting our favorite football team who was playing in a big playoff game that day. We had a blast every time we came back to the room and saw different notes added to the board, sometimes in support and sometimes against our team. We loved it.

WAYNO Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Door decorations are very fun for us. As we're approaching our room, we recognize we're getting close, just by seeing the countdown of other recognized door decorations in our hallway. Back in 2016, we were gifted a door magnet with our names on it. We've never since been on a ship without it. This magnet was sold by an internet blog site of our past. I would like to see such a magnet available from this site. @Matt We add other things to our door decor as we travel. Funny too... We cruised with our Son recently. He was in a different cabin, so we hung a magnetic note pad on our door so we could keep in touch if the wi-fi didn't work. Never did he have an occasion to use this note pad, but other random folks would occasionally leave us a nice note. That was fun too.

Montemy2419 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 On Oasis earlier this year there was a room at the end of the hall and it was a little darker. They framed the door with the most beautiful battery powered lights. They used small hook magnets to hold it in place so you or the room attendant could come and go without pulling it down. I always love looking at everyone's decorations and for the cruise during Valentine's they used different shades of red post-it notes and put it in the shape of a heart. I think it doesn't have to be elaborate but it should be personal to you. CrimsonCruiser, WAYNO and ScottD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
