0bnxshs Posted November 19, 2015 #28 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) It was gone by the early 1990s, possibly earlier. Could you imagine the privacy outrage today? Last I was on a Princess cruise (about 10 months ago) they were still printing and posting the names of the cabin's inhabitants, and their status, on the doors. :rolleyes: Edited November 19, 2015 by 0bnxshs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy fix. Just take your name out if you don't want people to see it. It really doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been bothered by this either. Of course it's easily fixed. But until you get on board and do so, others can see it. Some people do have issues with this practice.

But until you get on board and do so, others can see it. Some people do have issues with this practice. Yeah, I know they do. I once asked why people object to it so much but never got an answer. To say it's a privacy issue doesn't help me to understand. I could possibly understand if you have a really unusual name but if your name is Sally Smith I don't see the big deal. Saying I don't need to understand isn't helpful either as I'm just trying to understand what the threat is. Giving out a roster of everyone on the ship is a different story. My sister is totally uptight about it so I guess some folks do get super concerned. Edited November 19, 2015 by cruz chic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted November 19, 2015 #32 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I dislike the whole exterior mailbox system. A lot of what you get is generic junk, but there could be pinnacle confirmations, tour tickets, statements of account. I'd rather have things placed on the bed, or if the staff are pressed for time, slid under the door as they used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister is totally uptight about it so I guess some folks do get super concerned. When I sailed with my DH, I wouldn't have cared as much as I do now. I don't want some jerk walking down the hallway, looking at names on the door and seeing I am a woman traveling alone. Call me paranoid, I don't mind but I call it a safety issue. There are some real sickos out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister is totally uptight about it so I guess some folks do get super concerned. I think that the issue for me is, unless there's a sound reason for doing something, don't do it. If there is a good and reasonable need for my name to be posted on my door, fine and dandy, but otherwise please don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted November 19, 2015 #37 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have no idea where the notion of no more Cruise Logs came from, but it is clearly not correct. I have four Cruise Logs from the successive cruises I just disembarked. I have had one on every HAL cruise I have taken since they started the practice. The only thing missing on the Cruise Logs now, that I used to love seeing, was the listing of number of passengers of the various nationalities. It used to be fun to get confirmation of something I only got a sense of during the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some real sickos out there. You aren't alone. A friend who's been widowed for a few years sailed with relatives on Princess last year. Their cabins weren't close together, and my friend didn't like people knowing she was sailing alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have friends on our last ship that had all their excursion tickets stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is eluding to various forms of assault... it isn't only men that are capable of committing these crimes just as it isn't only women that are victims of these crimes Privacy and people who don't want to announce to the world "HEY! I'M ALONE!" is understandable, but the sexism surely isn't necessary to get the point across Edited November 19, 2015 by InTheWASide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it still continues. I haven't heard anything about HAL not doing them anymore - has anyone else? Edited November 19, 2015 by Lizzie68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted November 19, 2015 #44 Share Posted November 19, 2015 We do not want our names to appear on any list of passengers that is distributed to other passengers. If our names are on the door of the cabin, as they are on Princess, we take them down. It is a privacy issue for us. It is very easy to publish passenger demographics. All that is required is nationality and number of passengers. We have seen this on various cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they wouldn't do that? I have seen a breakdown of nationalities, just as you describle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, but it was early on in my cruising life, back in the day of high button shoes. The lists were lovely, and didn't give much information. Haven't seen them in decades.

rkacruiser Posted November 19, 2015 #47 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Re: Printed Passenger Lists I recall receiving one as a segment passenger on the 2007 World Cruise. Don't remember if one was issued during the 2008 World Cruise. (The Hotel Manager in 2008 was different from 2007.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have things placed on the bed, or if the staff are pressed for time, slid under the door as they used to do. Boy, do I agree with this. I tend to know my neighbours on cruises by sight and I have actually seen adults walk off with mail from those boxes. I told the neighbours and they talked to the Front Desk, found the mail was invitations and got them reprinted. Under the door is much preferred.
