Rare aussielozzie18 Posted July 31, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi Are the cabin doors on the Rhapsody of the Seas magnetic? I cannot find any recent posts to confirm this. We are cruising at Christmas and I would like to decorate the cabin door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyG12 Posted July 31, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yes ... the whole cabin is magnetic. We always attach the Cruise Compass to the wall with a magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted July 31, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ooops. LOL! Sorry, meant to say can we use magnets to decorate the cabin door? But PattyG12 has answered the question. Thanks Patty :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poncho1973 Posted July 31, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The doors are not magnetic at all. It would be really freaky to cruise with a ~25 sq ft magnet in the front of your stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddcan Posted July 31, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Technically.... (Sorry, I'm an engineer) Steel IS magnetic. It's not a MAGNET (unless magnetized), but the definition of "Magnetic" includes being able to be magnetized (which steel is), OR.. Is attracted by a magnet (which steel is) Not all steel is magnetic though.. most stainless grades, for example. Don't take my word for it: Magnets are made from magnetic materials. These are metals that can be magnetised or will be attracted to a magnet. Most materials are not magnetic, but iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic. Steel is mostly iron, so steel is magnetic too.

m*u*g* Posted July 31, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2013 No, they're metallic. But a magnet will stick to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Koohiichan Posted July 31, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2013 What's wrong with calling the doors "magnetic" if a magnet will stick to them? Webster's definition is below: Definition of MAGNETIC 1 : possessing an extraordinary power or ability to attract <a magnetic personality> 2 a : of or relating to a magnet or to magnetism b : of, relating to, or characterized by the earth's magnetism c : magnetized or capable of being magnetized d : actuated by magnetic attraction — mag·net·i·cal·ly \-ti-k(ə-)lē\ adverb .learners-link div.learners-link-content{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0 5px 0 22px;}.learners-link div.learners-link-content a .word{ text-decoration: none;}.learners-link div.learners-link-content a:hover .word{ color: #5358a9; text-decoration: underline;}#content .definition div.d .learners-link a,#content .definition div.d .learners-link a:hover,#content .definition div.d .learners-link a:link,#content .definition div.d .learners-link a:visited{ color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;} See magnetic defined for English-language learners » .wcentral-link div.wcentral-link-content{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0 5px 0 0;}.wcentral-link div.wcentral-link-content a .word{ text-decoration: none;}.wcentral-link div.wcentral-link-content a:hover .word{ color: #5358a9; text-decoration: underline;}#content .definition div.d .wcentral-link a,#content .definition div.d .wcentral-link a:hover,#content .definition div.d .wcentral-link a:link,#content .definition div.d .wcentral-link a:visited{ color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;}See magnetic defined for kids Koohiichan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
