SCLGFam2008 Posted March 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2018 How do you secure your door decorations on the sunshine? The video's I've seen look like the doors are "wooden". we have banners that i was going to secure with suction cup hooks but am now thinking that won't work. thoughts/ideas?

beachbum53 Posted March 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2018 From Carnival's F.A.Q. section: DECORATING YOUR STATEROOM DOOR AND STATEROOM We recognize some of our guests like to decorate their staterooms and we, too, love seeing your creative decorations. However, for safety reasons, we must ask that you abide by the following guidelines for decorating your stateroom door as well as the interior of your stateroom. In the interest of guest and crew safety, the following stateroom decoration policies will be instituted and strictly enforced: Decorations may consist only of fire retardant materials. Please note that items sprayed with fire retardant spray are not acceptable Decorations may only be placed on the stateroom door and not the surrounding frame, walls or railings You may use magnets or Command Strips but no adhesives such as tape or glue. Over-the-door hanging organizers must hang inside the stateroom, must also be of fire retardant material and cannot damage the door No decorations of any kind are allowed on balconies No decorations or items may be placed over light fittings or fixtures. This may restrict the airflow and cause the item to ignite No string lights of any kind are allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted March 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2018 How would we determine if something is "fire retardant"? Paper burns pretty easily, and so does thin plastic. Maybe a thick plastic sign, or something made out of aluminum foil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of party decorations nowadays are made of a thin metallic foil material. Surely those are fire retardant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted March 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2018 We use Command Strips to hang the banner on our door. We actually put the Command Strips on the inside of the door with a string going over/under the door to the banner. That makes it so people can't steal it. (Without a good amount of work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Without a good amount of work)Dang, that's like some booby-trap kind of stuff right there. :D Tie a little bell to the string inside the door. That way if anyone cuts it while you're in your room... *ding ding* Seriously though, that's a pretty good idea. I'd use some fishing line so they can't easily break it.

I guess I shouldn't tell you that the string is metal and we plug it in at night. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
