firemanbobswife Posted September 25, 2017 #26 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Since you tell them whether you want morning or evening service, they know the general time that you will be out of the room. So why would you need a door hanger? They are required to check in the room daily anyway so the hanger is trivial. I told mine I only wanted evening but he still came twice a day to exchange my towels and bring me ice (lol). He was very good. I wrote about it in my Conquest thread.

Pyrate13 Posted September 25, 2017 #27 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Seems pretty simple, if you're in the room and don't want to be bothered just put out the "Snoozin" card and deadbolt the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peajay84 Posted September 25, 2017 #29 Share Posted September 25, 2017 To me too. I barely saw mine last cruise. Low and behold every time in the morning when I went out I came back to an ice bucket full. Never asked for one and have no idea how they knew I was gone because I didn’t see them in the hall. I don’t need them pestering me while I’m in my cabin and if they want to chat, great. If not that’s cool too. We only got ice when I left a note that I wanted ice (even though I left a note that stated "please keep ice bucket full each day"), our bed was made and we did get fresh towels so that was good, but the floor was never vacuumed (and hadn't been before we got to the room the first day because there was crumbs on the floor underneath the chair when we got to our room the first day). I don't expect to have a chatty conversation but it would have been nice if she didn't keep stopping us and ask what cabin we were in and if she'd met us yet.

hapytobehr Posted September 25, 2017 #30 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It amazes me what bothers some people....... Put up the snoozin when you're there and NOTHING when you're not....seems simple to me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a card in the room that you put out on your door knob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ships/stewards have gone to once a day and it is on a card they present and go over with you, but both should still be an option. I have yet to see a card and have always gotten twice a day.

skipperanne Posted September 25, 2017 #33 Share Posted September 25, 2017 On NCL they have a dial outside the door. Welcome, please make up room, do not disturb, please turn down room. You cannot steal them. You just set them when you come and go. Works really well in my observation. Over time I am sure it cost less than hang tags.

Rare Saint Greg Posted September 26, 2017 #35 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Or maybe people were turning them around to say “Cruising” when it should have said “Snoozing” causing guests to get upset. Who would do something like that? :evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan_Cruiser Posted September 26, 2017 #37 Share Posted September 26, 2017 My point exactly, how will the stewards know who's crusing versus who is not using the sign? This change forces people to not use the sign while they are cruising... How does this force you to "not use the sign"??? I just got off the Sunshine last Saturday. Our room steward met with us on day 1 and asked us to put the Snoozin' sign on the door when we were in the cabin and take it off when we were out of the cabin. It worked great. Not once did he knock on our door when we were in the cabin. When we were not in the cabin he took the time to clean. It blows me away what people will find to complain about.

Alaskan Joe Posted September 26, 2017 #38 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have a solution, they could add cameras to the state rooms so all they have to do is check the monitor to see if your in your cabin or not!:o There would be no knocking waking anybody up from their naps.....LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because everyone that used to use it while they were cruising will no longer use it. How can they if cruising isn't available to them anymore? If you're this uptight after going on your cruise then you weren't on the water long enough. You should book another one ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperanne Posted September 26, 2017 #42 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That's good. Can anyone change it from the hall? They are too high for a child to switch but yes someone over five feet tall could switch it. That would be rude!! Not an accidental brush off. And incorrect replace.

funinthesun1964 Posted September 26, 2017 #48 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I am just off the Paradise on the 21st also and noticed that it only says snoozin' and not cruisin'. Not a big deal but my mind just wondered why the change. It can't be a cost issue to print a different word on the other side. Why? Then I thought the same as a previous poster -- people were fooling with these and turning them around. It wouldn't surprise me, I've heard of people messing with the room service breakfast door hangers, and other things. Probably mostly kids. But maybe not.

SadieN Posted September 27, 2017 #50 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This question came up at one of the Q&As on the Alaska cruise. Too often the cards were turned around, leading to embarrassment and complaints. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
