pinkpumpkin Posted April 30, 2012 #77 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I went on their website. Which of the size categories did you use? I went to “General purpose signs- browse templates” then I went to “All-purpose signs” and they were both in there. The “Team bride” one was 16x24 and the wedding one was 24x36. I have to used them yet we cruise on 5/13 i will let you know how they work!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needabreakcanada Posted May 2, 2012 #78 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Does anyone know if the cabin doors on freedom are metal? So far I have to "canadian" buttons, a "birthday girl" ribbon, still need a "50th" birthday decoration AND still need 30th anniversary decoration. I found a picture of Tarzan swinging on a vine doing his scream and one of Jane with her hands up his loin cloth swinging from there and wrote over top "still hanging after 30 years" Too racy? Opinions on that please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needabreakcanada Posted May 3, 2012 #80 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I called Carnival and they said the doors on freedom are made of wood. What do you use on the wood doors to stick things on without damaging the door? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineonmymind Posted May 3, 2012 #81 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Both work, but the tape works better especially for heavier items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbrav Posted May 3, 2012 #83 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I agree with alot of other posts about how easy it is to find your room! I have never done it but plan to on my next cruise. Will be traveling w/out the children so there may be much more drinking involved!! lol.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy4dis Posted May 3, 2012 #84 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I do this all the time on disney. I have never seen it done on carnival but my door will now be decorated on my upcomming pride cruise :) Thanks for starting this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrice1 Posted May 3, 2012 #85 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I always decorate my cabin door.. however by mid cruise it grows legs and walks away or wings and flew away...lol :rolleyes: Last cruise I had had a cute sign with a monkey on it "Welcome to the Jungle."

Webecruzen Posted May 3, 2012 #86 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I decorate our cabin doors and balcony windows for us and those traveling with us. Last Halloween we were banging on a door because of the decorations..Oops they had the same decorations as we used on friends door. We cruise alot on holidays so that makes decorating easier. In August we will go with beachy type decorations. It is fun and makes finding cabins easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmacani Posted May 3, 2012 #87 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We decorate the door. Our rooms are usually visible from the elevators so when you get off you know which way to go. On our hawaii trip I took down the decorations on the night before we got off and heard people say, " Which way do we go". I know I get confused so it helps me not to get turned around.

Rainbowfalls Posted May 3, 2012 #88 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I love all the pictures :) very creative! My whole family thinks I am nuts since I started to buy stuff for our doors lol, our local dollar store has so much tropical themed items and the like that i couldn't help it!!!. So far I have a cute wooden sign that says it's five o'clock somewhere with a little martini glass :D and a rainbow themed lei, some fishing nets and tropical fish I am so excited!!!. Now hopefully it will all come together somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicgal Posted May 4, 2012 #89 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We have decorated in the past. Why? Because it's fun for me- especially when it's interactive. For example... hanging Mardi Gras beads from the door handle when you go to sleep and waking up to find a few strands gone. Made somebody happy- I'm sure they knew they were out there to take. For those who criticize the practice- people could have a lot worse enjoyments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfam5 Posted May 4, 2012 #90 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We have never decorated our door. One thing I have noticed.....by the end of the week, several of doors we notice that are decorated end up getting "vandlized" (LOL). Things get torn down, stolen, written on, etc. I wouldn't put anything out with too much value (sentimental or otherwise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger belle Posted May 4, 2012 #91 Share Posted May 4, 2012 some fishing nets and tropical fish I have been looking for fishing net! which dollar store were you able to find that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolmacey Posted May 28, 2012 #92 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Does anyone mess with or move your decorations? If I used a sports team magnet, do you think a rival fan would touch it? Anything is possible. I would not put up anything that is valuable or irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted May 28, 2012 #93 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I never do it and my opinion is that the whole idea is totally dumb. After all, the doors have numbers so you should not need decorations to find your room. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is something that will make someone's vacation better, go for it. Someone else's decorations won't ruin my cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotheyes Posted May 28, 2012 #95 Share Posted May 28, 2012 we have been on 45 cruises and always decorate our doors. It is a family project before we go and everyone enjoys looking for different things to put on the doors. We find a lot of items at the Dollar store and yes sometimes they do disappear (but usually not till the last nite) we take pictures in front of the door and then scrapbook with them. this is my first time to try and attach a picture. Hope it works:p dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkie20000 Posted May 28, 2012 #96 Share Posted May 28, 2012 We decorated our door for the first time on our last cruise because I read about it on the boards. We also decorated my parent's door and my sister's door and they both seemed to like it too. For me, it wasn't a matter of not being able to find our room w/o it (we were the 2nd door aft so it couldn't have been easier to find), but it was just something fun to do and it made me smile each time I saw it (since my son spent a lot of time cutting everything out and helping me plan it). It was also nice to hear people comment as they walked by and saw it and see that it made them smile. It definitely made it easier to remember which cabins belonged to family members so I didn't have to worry I might be knocking on the wrong door. I think it depends where you are on the ship as to whether your stuff will disappear...but I wouldn't put anything out there that would upset you if it walked. None of the stuff was touched on our door at all and I think it was because we had an aft balcony. The only people walking past were the people in the other aft balconies. However, every single thing had disappeared off my sister's door by the end of the week. She was mid-ship and so many people walked by late at night after partying...stuff didn't usually disappear during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahmay Posted May 28, 2012 #97 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Here is our door from our cruise on The Legend last month. I was a little disappointed because my sign got CRUSHED in my luggage from the port when I put it in, to our room, (1st time that happened). But oh well. Still was cute! I got a fish net as well as palm tree at the dollar tree, but didnt use the net because I thought it wouldve been to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotheyes Posted May 28, 2012 #98 Share Posted May 28, 2012 A lot of people who DO NOT decorate their doors, thank us and say it makes it easier for them to know they are going down the right hall when they see the decorations. We try to add something new each day and many people notice that too. For us it is fun; not for everybody. Some have things they do that we would never do. Part of what makes the world go round. dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cushing985 Posted May 28, 2012 #99 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Personally I wouldn't expend the energy to decorate our door and in the past I thought it was a bit tacky. But, on our recent Spirit cruise our neighbors did their door (totally covered it with pictures and posters) and found myself looking at it and enjoying it. Some of the pictures cracked me up! I don't understand those who feel a need to vandalize someone else's door who obviously spent a lot of time working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted May 28, 2012 #100 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Does anyone know--on the Cruise Critic door decoration is there a way to type your name on it then print it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
