snoopy5386 Posted April 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2016 We cruised Disney a few years back and I made a ton of door magnets, door decorating is very common on their ships. It's been a decade since we cruised Princess and we didn't have kids back then, do folks decorate their doors for Princess cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted April 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Some do but happily it's a dieing trend. Tends to be a little more prominent at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted April 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Almost none on cruises I've been on. But not sure it's an Aussie thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted April 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Aside from the poster greetings put up by the steward, I have not noticed any prominent decorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted April 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Aside from the poster greetings put up by the steward, I have not noticed any prominent decorations. Should have added, happy birthday and happy anniversary signs but I don't really call them door decorations. Even those we take down pretty quick.

paul929207 Posted April 26, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2016 We see many birthday/anniversary/etc. signs put up by the cabin steward, but only a few decorated by passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted April 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2016 You will see a few doors decorated. We place a 6 inch fridge magnet on our door so we can easily identify the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted April 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I have not noticed many cabin door decorations on Princess ships other than the celebratory signs that a steward puts on the doors with balloons for a birthday/anniversary. Perhaps it is a Disney cruise thing? As for locating your cabin,Princess has a tag in a slot near the door with the name of the occupant(s) and their loyalty level. That is a way to identify your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Womble99 Posted April 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Our 8yr old likes to put his Lego batman magnet on his cabin door so he can pick it easier but aside from that we haven't seen many other door decorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melozone Posted April 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I always make a sign up for our door. It is printed on regular printer paper and I put magnets on the back. We like it and my granddaughters look forward to it. I make a new one every cruise. Edited April 26, 2016 by Melozone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted April 26, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The few passenger signs we've seen on doors have been single page size. Nothing too elaborate. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964pilot Posted April 26, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I am a door decorator. I can always find something at the party supply store that is appropriate for the cruise. My old standby is tropical fish that I glued refrigerator magnets on the back. I like seeing my door and also inside our cabin decorated. It is such a personal thing. At least I always door which door is ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted April 26, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've decorated our door for Christmas cruises and other holiday cruises. And since we have been on so many more at that time of year due to DH's vacation break schedule as a teacher, I guess I'm used to seeing others do the same. At other times of the year, we'll take a small magnet from our hockey team to put on the door. Most people probably don't notice it, but it does help make our cabin door more noticeable to us.

Thrak Posted April 26, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I figure you can decorate or not as you desire. It certainly won't cause me any undue angst if someone decorates their door! On our last cruise (17 day PC transit) there were several cabins that had a small string of miniature red solo cups. I figured they were all part of the same group and it likely made visiting or meeting up with others easier. It certainly didn't bother me. Like others have said, I see a lot (really a lot!) of birthday, anniversary, etc. signs and balloons that are put up by the stewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted April 26, 2016 #19 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I printed a small sign on magnetic sheets that we put on our door. It's about 8" x 3" and says "THIS is our happily ever after!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teris50 Posted April 26, 2016 #21 Share Posted April 26, 2016 when I go with friends, it's usually for a bday or anniversary, so I buy dollar store cards and bring tape and some other decorations and after we are in our cabins, I run around the ship and decorate all the doors that are with our group! most have loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted April 26, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) We love to for Christmas but don't do it other times of year. I enjoy the Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary signs with balloons that Princess puts up.

It's been a decade since we cruised Princess and we didn't have kids back then, do folks decorate their doors for Princess cruises? I decorate my door every cruise with a cactus cut out and my cruise critic name. I don't really care what other people do to their doors ,but it really helps me find my cabin and I enjoy the decorations . I would say it's not very common. But I like to make my door unique.

Someone stole my door decorations on Emerald, so don't let your son put his batman on the door, unless he's ready for the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a $200 charge if you place tape on your door. Just saying.....Princess likely doesn't have such rules because so few doors are decorated. Princess places decorations in the space near the door but not on the door (plastic as I recall). And yes, in the house of the mouse we've had decorations disappear.
