Tigger05 Posted July 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Are there any other magnetic surfaces in the cabin besides the stateroom door? I think I'd like to put up some interior decorations for our son and wanted to make a determination of what would work. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotong Posted July 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2015 In other cruise ships all the walls are metal and magnetic, hence I pack magnetic hooks and pegs so can hang things on them e.g sunglasses and fix receipts, tickets etc to the walls! I've bought magnetic pegs as a FE gift too! so hope that this is the case on DCL too! Gillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted July 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2015 MANY of the surfaces are metallic--basically, if it isn't wood, it is metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted July 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Can remember the walls and ceiling work with magnets. But the door did for me. fyi.... there's been complaints that the doors don't work with all magnets because there's so many coats of paint. Please don't bring paint thinner.

BullDawg91 Posted July 19, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Concierge doors have a wood veneer that won't work with magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex techie Posted July 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2015 As posted above, the walls are metal, but have a thicker coating so stronger magnets would be best to stop them sliding. The ceiling's are also metal, so magnetic hooks would work. ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex techie Posted July 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Please don't bring paint thinner. lol! Great comment and probably not too off the mark for "some" Guests! ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger05 Posted July 20, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted July 20, 2015 MANY of the surfaces are metallic--basically' date=' if it isn't wood, it is metal.[/quote'] So anything that's painted white should be metal, is that what I'm understanding? Jeez, paint thinner...I can only imagine. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap magnetic self adhesive strips may work, but that all depends on the weight of your decorations. ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted July 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) And if anything you put up mars the surface, you can be charged for repainting. The only place I've ever been aware of anyone being charged is the exterior door but the statement is in the contract. No adhesives of any kind, magnets only, and you pay if you damage their surface. They used to have to repaint doors frequently till they started the "magnets only" policy. Edited July 20, 2015 by moki'smommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflatto Posted July 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Paint thinner. Really!! I am not sure that is sufficient by itself. You should also bring one of the heavy duty heat guns (i.e, hair dryer on steroids) or better yet, a propane torch to help remove the paint. That shouldn't be a problem, should it? :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karin5 Posted July 25, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Concierge doors have a wood veneer that won't work with magnets. Do the suite stateroom doors on the Wonder have a wood veneer? I heard it was just the Fantasy and Dream. It is my understanding, the suite stateroom doors on the Wonder are metal, so our door magnets will work just fine. Can anyone clarify? I'm very curious. My family doesn't leave until November, but I've been working on our door magnets already. We are in a one bedroom suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullDawg91 Posted July 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I just did a quick search and only found that Dream and Fantasy have wood veneers. I didn't find anything saying what kind of doors Wonder and Magic have. Hopefully, someone will confirm that they are metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted July 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The doors on the suites of the Wonder and Magic used to be metal. Both ships have had significant work done in the last 2 years. As far as I know, the doors were not changed, but anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding, the suite stateroom doors on the Wonder are metal, so our door magnets will work just fine. Can anyone clarify? I'm very curious. My family doesn't leave until November, but I've been working on our door magnets already. We are in a one bedroom suite. All of the doors are metal. Fire regulations. They are predominantly painted. Some have a wooden veneer to give the appearance of wood in the Concierge Stateroom categories as you have said. It is also worth noting that the amount of layers of paint, on even a painted door will effect the magnetism you can achieve with your decorations. The more scuff's or chips, the more times that door has to be painted, and they obviously cannot just remove doors, sand and or strip them constantly. DISNEY FANTASY has reported troubles on his Magic cruise he is on with his magnets sticking on his metal painted door. Use your Concierge status to contact the shoreside Concierge and ask them! They will be able to provide you with the most up to date and accurate information on your Stateroom door. Even tip's like "A family used magnetic paper decorations last week and they did not have a problem", or "A family last week found that the veneer or paint was too think for their magnets to stick". ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karin5 Posted July 26, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks for the information, BullDawg91, Moki'smommy and Ex techie I'm almost done with our door magnets, just need to attach the magnets now. I'll probably just finish this project, and hope for the best. If they don't stick, I'll take them home, and put them on our fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay a bit more and get something a little stronger if you are hanging anything heavier than a piece of laminated paper. We got some plastic magnets as gifts. EVERY time we closed the door, they fell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
