Butterfly73 Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Hello. Do people still put magnets or a magnet writing board on their cabin doors? I know it used to be popular to decorate doors for anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations, etc. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 They do! I personally no longer put magnet writing boards up because I was harassed by profanity and other sorts of harassment last time I tried to use one, but I'm sure that's a one-off.

Linda R Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I decorate my door for the season. And still put up a white board. It is very fun Thumper44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Absolutely! It’s fun to do and helps you find your room after a few drinks! On our last cruise our friends hung up a magnetic board with an outline of the US States. There were very tiny sticky dots in a baggie next to it and people stuck the dots on the state they came from. By the end of the cruise there were over 75 dots which filled at least 60% of the 50 states! Of course, it helped that our rooms were near the top of the hallway so there was lots of traffic to stop by! smokeybandit, SpicyCherry, Cactus527 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to walk the various cabin decks looking at the art displays, and I’ll erase any vulgar graffiti I see on peoples boards.

I never thought of that teddy. I always like looking at the doors as we come and go, but to go out of our way on other decks. Nice. I can't even draw a stick figure so whatever people do I can appreciate. Neesa and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattycruise Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 If it’s magnets you value don’t hang them. Too many cruises I’ve seen people post in the FB group that someone stole their magnets. I imagine it’s more like a prank, took and moved, but I’ve never heard that they’ve been found. CruiseGus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrznTxn Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 We have lost our decorations on the last two cruises we have taken this summer. The wife makes some really nice butterfly and lizard decorations from figures we purchase from Hobby Lobby and add magnets to the feet or back. This last cruise it was two out of the three decorations that were taken the final night just before we packed. There at dinner time but gone by 9:00pm. Will not stop us from going out and replacing them as it really makes the cabin easy to find but hope it is not a trend. Maybe it will subside once the majority of kids are back in school.

Bowen Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Yep! We have magnets and put up a white board! We do get the occasional lewd message, but we just erase them when we get back to the room. If my teenagers see the message first, all bets are off, they might reply. PPPJJ-GCVAB and CruiseGus 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnets started arriving on our door the first night and they just kept multiplying. By the final night, we had a menagerie of colorful creatures. Absent any clue as to who left them or why, we simply enjoyed the display and hoped someone would retrieve their items before debarking.

Butterfly73 Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Thank you for all of the great responses! I will be celebrating my 50th birthday on a cruise at the end of this month.

NJCruisers Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 My daughter made us a really nice custom magnet, she actually made 3. When I asked her why 3 she said one was for inside and one was to keep at home in case someone decided to move it and we never found it again. I'll bring 2 with me & hope for the best!

Steve B Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I hope this is still a thing, as I got several magnets off of Amazon that I was looking to decorate my door with---to help me find my cabin after a long, and hopefully relaxing day of sipping my virgin drinks. While I don't want them to disappear, if they do, oh well...I'll keep any sentimental magnets on the inside of the cabin just to make sure.

Kathleen Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 One of our last cruises we were a member of a Facebook page for that cruise. A member of that Facebook group organized, a “magnet share”. Whomever wanted to participate, commented on that Facebook page with our room numbers. Each person participating brought a magnet representing the state that they were from. Once on the cruise, we delivered our magnets to each door. It was entertaining to see all the different states and countries that ended up on our door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
