suexxx Posted March 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Has anyone used Command Hooks on their cruise? Thought of using the magnetic hooks which I will still look into. Command hooks would be easier for me to purchase. We have an inside cabin on Golden Princess so no window to use. Suexxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted March 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We just use magnetic hooks from Home Depot for our sling bags, hats and belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyancho Posted March 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I am sure command hooks would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GweninTX Posted March 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Magnetic clips for potato chip bags work great! If you win at trivia - ask for them - they are great! We have a bunch! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted March 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We've had success using plastic suction hooks like the ones pictured below. They're easy to attach and remove. I never thought of using Command hooks, but I wonder how many times they can be used before the adhesive becomes no longer is effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzG Posted March 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yes, we always use them. DH puts one on the wall outside the bathroom door and another one on the wall behind the door if we're on a colder weather cruise and bring winter coats. We usually bring heavier/bigger ones. We're leaving for a Hawaiian cruise on Friday, and he has already packed his hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company is finally selling separate packs of the tape. The hooks can be reused. To make them stick, need to clean the wall with a bit of rubbing alcohol, we use prepackaged alcohol wipes.

cb at sea Posted March 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We've never needed to hang stuff on the walls...plenty of storage for our stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Command Hooks appear work well, suction hooks are a better answer for us...with less hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan09 Posted March 4, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We've been using the Command hooks on cruises for years. They work great. Good to know. I would guess they are lighter to carry too. Thanks OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted March 4, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We have found it simpler to use magnetic hooks and clips but if you want to hang something fairly heavy, they may not be the type to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scomar Posted March 4, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We have been using the Command hooks, they have the large one that holds 5 lbs. Those and over the door shoe organizer are our go to things for organizing the cabin. We use the shoe organizer to put all of our small stuff in, My wife gets a lot of use out of it.

DrivesLikeMario Posted March 4, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've had bad luck with the Command Hooks. I guess you all are not hanging heavy stuff from them? I've tried the heavier duty ones to hang my shoe organizer from and the hooks never hold the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromep Posted March 5, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I use a couple of Command hooks at home. I have one on a wooden bathroom door where two bath robes get hung. It has been there for at least 4 years with no issues. The bathrobes hung there are the heavy Princess robes. I think on the right surface a Command adhesive hook could work well. However, a large enough magnetic hook should work as well and leave no residue that you may have to clean off. In general, the larger the magnetic surface area, the greater the weight a magnetic hook will hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetme Posted March 5, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 5, 2017 i always use them, they are great for hanging stuff like hats, wet bathing suits, washed out underwear, lightweight beach bags, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky TGO Posted March 5, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Although Command Hooks appear work well, suction hooks are a better answer for us...with less hassle. I used suction hooks to hang up all my winning Patriots posters after that great Super Bowl Win!! They worked fine. Hi Lew :D Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted March 5, 2017 #19 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I had never even thought about taking them, but my cabinmate brought along a double hook Command hook and stuck it on the wall in the corner by the shelving cupboard beside the closet. We used it for our sleepwear and robes, and it stayed in place for the full duration of our 30 day cruise. After we packed up for disembarkation, she removed it and took it home to be saved for our next trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
