EggDropErin Posted November 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I want to put one on our door for our upcoming AOS honeymoon cruise, but my DH2B thinks that will encouge people to knock on our door and bother us. Has this been the case for anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneSally Posted November 14, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2005 You don't even know if you're going to like the people you will meet at the meet and mingle. Don't advertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggDropErin Posted November 14, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted November 14, 2005 You don't even know if you're going to like the people you will meet at the meet and mingle. Don't advertise. Good point. LOL I hope they're going to be okay people though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_Guy Posted November 14, 2005 #6 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I wouldn't either....you'll probably have a lot of kids on your sailing which might encourage them to knock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggDropErin Posted November 14, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Great. LOL He is sitting beside me thinking he is winning an argument. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadCnty Posted November 14, 2005 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2005 We had a great group on our Mariner cruise... Not a problem in the world... We even posted cabin numbers on our roll call, and although no one ever knocked on our door it was nice to be able to phone one another if need be which happened as we done a "group" tour and there was a time change... It's really hit or miss but we had an awesome group and I would not hesitate to do it again... IF you feel comfortable with your fellow cruisers...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneSally Posted November 14, 2005 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2005 So he is winning, probably the only argument he'll ever win. Make sure he knows that, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadCnty Posted November 14, 2005 #11 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I forgot to mention... :o We didn't use the CC signs, but we did decorate for Halloween, and a few of our decorations were stolen off the door, but I planned on this and used cheap decorations...:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonful Posted November 14, 2005 #12 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I had the CC sign and another sign. I was not often in the cabin so i have no idea if people knocked. Like MadCnty, they were all stolen by the end of the cruise. I missed them because they made the door much easier to find in the middle of the night (after many drinks).

selectone Posted November 14, 2005 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I printed out the CC sign and glued it to an old "giveaway" magnetic advertisement. I put it on our door while on the Rhapsody, not really to advertise that we were there, but rather, as a quick visual that I was entering the correct cabin. No one knocked on our door or bothered us. A couple of pax asked me about it while in the hallway and agreed that after too many foo foo drinks, the sign can be quite helpful. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailfish Posted November 15, 2005 #19 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have been to a couple of "Meet & Mingle" parties, and I have always felt it was a waste of time! I'm sure there are some groups that connect, but I personally don't waste my time anymore with this sort of thing. And the last thing I would want to do is advertise. Sorry for the sour grapes - but I am now a little more hesitant in who I meet online. Some people I have met at these parties take this sort of thing way too seriously. That's not to say everyone you meet online is of concern, but I tend to be a little more careful these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggDropErin Posted November 15, 2005 Author #20 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've never done this, so I'm going to put it through a trial run on AOS, and it if works out for me, we'll sign up again on FOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelgrrl Posted November 15, 2005 #22 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I don't use the Meet and Mingle signs, but we almost always decorate our door, and have had many nice compliments from people while onboard, can easily find our cabin, have passed the decs onto our cabin stewards (they have asked for them), and so on. Last trip (Sept) the elderly ladies across the hall commented on our decorations as we were doing it the first day (I was with my early childhood chum, we're now in our 40's) and said they wished they'd thought of it. We had some extra decorations, so we did their door too. Then we added to it every day, with gel jems, stickers, paper umbrellas, etc. (Still keeping in mind to be tasteful and minimalist, of course! ;) ) They really loved it. Every day they were looking to see what else had been added. No one has ever randomly knocked on our door or bothered us, due to the decorations. I say go for it!

JCSM-Mom Posted November 15, 2005 #23 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I was deciding whether or not to hang the sign myself. I didn't really think about anyone just stopping by and knocking, but I guess it could happen, and with my luck it'd be when the little ones were napping! I think maybe will forget it. Perhaps it would be for the best. We will go to the Meet & Mingle though, the last one I went to the M&M itself was kinda boring, but we met new people that we chatted with all week.
