Door signs - Tacky?

[hannahsmomtoo]

We embark on my birthday.. and my 13 year old daughter wants to make a door sign that says "It's my birthday" or something similar..

I have heard of people doing this...

Read mised reviews about whether or not the doors ( Splendor ) are metal..

 

What is your opinion on door signs? ok? tacky?

 

Thanks !!!

If it makes your daughter happy don't worry about what others think-let her make the sign and display it proudly!!!!

I always decorate our door. Some say it's tacky, but it's my vacation and my door for the week, LOL.

I usually decorate it with things and pictures of different excursions for the ports we're going to.

Yes!:)

I did not decorate my door, but I enjoyed looking at the ones who did. I think they are fun. You are on vacation, do what makes YOU happy! :D

When you have a door poster you know you are at your cabin room when you see your poster and you don't have to be searching for your number.

 

I have always put a door poster even at hotels so I can find my room very easily.

 

Cruise critic has a door poster you can also use.

 

My recent favorite door poster is one that says, "BEWARE OF THE DOG!"

I include a photo of my dog.lol. My cabin steward said that people put their ear next to the door to listen for the dog barking."

 

I used that poster at a Vegas hotel recently and I got a message from the front desk that I could move to another room... that is for dogs also.lol.

Next time I plan to tell the front desk of my poster in advance.

 

It is best to use that brown masking tape because it doesn't mark the door wall when you take it off.

 

No...it is not tacky because you will never see those people again and they don't financially support you and your family. So don't ever care

what people think. If Madona cared what people thought of her we wouldn't have had a clothes style change in the 1980's. Lady Gaga doesn't care either. These women are some of the trend-setters. LucyR.

I personally think it's tacky, but if my little girl wanted to make a sign for her birthday, I'd embellish it with balloons just to make her smile.

I think it WILL help to make sure my daughter finds the right cabin also ! :D

She wants to make it for MINE.. which makes it even sweeter :o

I don't think it's tacky. We had fun with it our last cruise. Our roll call all decorated their doors. But the door was not metal. We used things that are like window clings, but meant for other flat surfaces. Sold at Wally world. It was fun, I believe our ship even had a door decor contest.

[glrounds]

Yes, I think its tacky, but what to hell, somebody is having fun with it so why not. Its probably a good idea for those with real young children to help them find their cabin.

 

Love the "BEWARE OF DOG" idea. A cabin full of "Lounge Lizards" would only have to add an "S". :D

I wish I had decorated our door last week on the Fantasy. Some guy knocked on it after midnight. He had the wrong room. Maybe a door decoration would have clued him in.

[crusinfamof4]

Our son will turn 16 on our cruise, I plan on decorating the door for his birthday. I think it's fun!

[bobsfamily]

After a drink or 2(0) knowing my door say's "in here dummy" makes me feel all warm and tingly... and not a dummy to boot!

 

One year we were on the Sensation and used sidewalk chalk, had read about it on here. We "decorated" several doors:eek:

[cruise_pirate]

We decorate each cruise, it makes it easier to find our room, and makes the vacation a little more fun to us!:)

[my3boysmom]

I've never put up a door decoration before but plan to this time! Just adds to the fun.

[kpgibbs]

I don't understand why anyone would think it's tacky. If it's not your door then why would anyone care? Can someone that thinks it's tacky please clue me in?

[Jolimont]

Tacky? Yes. But she is 13, so why not? Happy Birthday young lady!

[BSQ]

Do it! I decorate mine because it amuses ME. I don't really care what others think. Last cruise I came back to my cabin while people were reading my door. I was at the very front of the ship so all but people in 4 cabins had to go out of their way to behold my door. LOL

 

I use scotchtape. On splendor even the cheesy little CC door magnets didn't stay in place.

[bells&stars]

NOT tacky!

 

I'm getting married in August and will make posters for all my sailing guests... Some of them will very much need them the way we all party lol. Although it may give us a laugh if they get lost and durnk... I'm respectful of the other thousands of people on the ship.

Tell her to go for it! I like door decorations, it is festive and you don't get lost. (Though I've never done mine)

 

 

If she is staying in a cabin not with parents, I'd leave her age off of it, however.

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

We think it is great ...

The 13 yr. old is making the sign for her mother. The OP. ;)
