Sunshine and magnetic walls

[RNic]

I had come to the conclusion, after reading many, many posts, that the walls are not magnetic on the Sunshine. Then my husband saw a video showing magnets on a wall and a woman saying they are. Anyone know, from experience, if they are or aren’t? Is it possible it varies by deck?

We were on either deck 5 or 6 in an aft cabin back in October, and the walls in our cabin were not magnetic :(

Bummer! I really count on my magnetic hooks and clips for helping me organize my stuff!

The ceilings are magnetic. We hung streamers and a centerpiece from it using magnets.

Hi

 

Just to clarify. The walls, ceilings, doors, etc... on the ship are "not" magnetic. They are made of metal, and a magnet will stick to metal.

 

Just like your refrigerator...it is not magnetic, but if you put a magnet on it, it sticks.

 

hope this helps

I was going to let it slide. I think everyone knew what the OP meant when asking about the walls being magnetic.

 

But since you felt that we needed clarification, let's clarify.

 

Not all metals are attracted to magnets. Only ferrous metals (those containing a significant amount of iron). Non ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, zinc, gold, silver etc. don't react to magnets at all.

So if a ships wall were made of aluminum for instance, they'd still be metal but not able to attract a magnet.

thank you, the walls did not want to connect to the magnets that i had brought on board. and were very strong magnets.

Are the doors metal? Will a magnet work on the outside of the door? Thanks

We were on the Sunshine in February. We travel with a over-door shoe organizer that we put up with magnetic clips. On most ships, we can put this on the bathroom door (easy peasy organizer for tolietries!!). Unfortunately, it wouldn't stick on the Sunshine.

Was this the bathroom door or the entrance door? We are wanting to put a grease board ont he entrance door to let our family members know where we are.
