Door Decorations! What have you done?

[CobbClan]

Was reading some really neat ideas over on the Cruise Rituals board, and saw some great photos, but most all of them were tropical or holidays like Chhristmas. We are celebration our 30 th anniversary and thought it might be neat! What have you all done for Alaska? Oh, and we are traveling Oosterdam if that makes a difference on rules or door construction.

Not for Alaska, but on our 50th anniversary we had our family on the cruise, and they decorated the door with photos from our wedding.

We did it for a graduation cruise but not to Alaska.

We don't decorate, but we always cruise to celebrate our anniversary, and Princess puts up a sign and balloons.

I don't think hal even knows it's our anniversary. How do they?

LOL! Our cousin told us that Princess once did that to their cabin door, but they took down the tacky decorations immediately as soon as they saw them.

 

Guess there are some people who like that sort of stuff, while others don't.

He wrote a comment suggesting that Priincess should first ask people if they want such decorations before putting them up, but doubts that it made any difference.

 

Whenever they took a Princess cruise after that, he just made sure to let their cabin attendant know not to let anyone do that.

When I called NCL about our booking they asked was there any special reason we were traveling. I don't know what, if anything, they will be doing for our 20th Anniversary.

If they don't want them to do it, they shouldn't add the occasion on their Cruise Personalizer. I don't think the decorations are "tacky". They make it easier to see which cabin is yours too.

I put up a laminated cruise critic sign along with some post cards from our state. If our cruise happens to be around a holiday like Valentines Day I have put up some of the clingy decorations that I got at the dollar store.

 

I asked the NCL rep what they do for anniversary's and she said they will send a card to your room to get some kind of mini cake.

I did a fairly elaborate "Alaska" door twice. I forget what all was on them, but the feature thing was Nanook the Beanie Baby husky. Both times, my pooch was stolen, so I don't do it anymore. They're only worth $2, but some people just have no class :(

How do you let Princess know it is your Anniversary?

[scmexico]

When you fill out the cruise personalizer.

I have decorated my door on Caribbean Cruises - plan to do a Frozen theme for Alaska with Olaf and something to signify my Birthday - since it will fall during the cruise.

 

It just makes it easier to find my stateroom in a sea of doors.

Dang, HAL doesn't have such a thing as a personalizer.....

Have your TA note it on your reservation or if you book direct, call them and have them add it to your reservation.
