Hadiez Posted January 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hello Cruisers. Im pretty sure the answer is yes but I do want to confirm. All stateroom doors are metal correct? I know the walls and ceiling are for sure. Going on the Conquest and the wife got a magnet for the door. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted January 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Doors have to be metal . A requirement of SOLAS ( safety at sea) that doors have to be fire proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruser3 Posted January 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hadiez, The doors are metal, however, small, weak magnets will lead to whatever you are hanging, to slide down the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyjr88 Posted January 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2018 We use 3m hangers because the magnets on decorations often times don't stick to the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggiebuttercup Posted January 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2018 On Valor, our magnets would not stick to the doors. They did, however, stick to the wall next to the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookDragon Posted January 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2018 On Valor, our magnets would not stick to the doors. They did, however, stick to the wall next to the bathroom. That's interesting. Do you think this was because of the type of magnets used or the door's materials? I'm asking because we will be sailing on the Valor in July & I have the cutest porthole to decorate our stateroom door. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking because we will be sailing on the Valor in July & I have the cutest porthole to decorate our stateroom door. Thanks! I am wondering the same thing. We had one on Disney and it was just fine. Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggiebuttercup Posted January 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2018 They were pretty weak fridge magnets. I did use them successfully on the doors of RCCL's Liberty of the Seas last year, but they wouldn't stick to the doors on Valor at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookDragon Posted January 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks for responding, I'll be sure to pack really strong magnets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted January 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yes, get strong magnets. We had some of those rubbery magnets once & every time we turned around, those things had slid down or fallen off the door. That was just the magnet - we weren't even trying to use it to hang anything. We wanted to use them as a door marker to help us find our cabin. Another cruise we used those swirly things you hang from the ceiling for parties and hung them on our mailbox. They were out of the way, yet we could spot them as we got closer to the room.

Rosefloater Posted January 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2018 On the Inspiration, our magnets wouldn't stick to the walls or metal chair rail. But they did stick to the bathroom and cabin doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michiele Posted January 17, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2018 On our last cruise, we brought chalkboard contact paper and just stuck it on the door - for messages. It worked great. We just peeled it off at the end of the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailin Gal Posted January 18, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We use the reusable tacky putty, like Elmer’s Poster Tack, for attaching something colorful to our cabin door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadiez Posted January 18, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thank you all for the input. We have a sign to hang outside our door and it is one solid magnet. We will bring the 3M just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn1974 Posted January 18, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 18, 2018 On the Victory our magnets stuck to the walls between the doors. We took a magnetic white board and hung it between our cabins to let others know where we were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
