Rare pyropoodle Posted October 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm sure this topic has been posted, but search function for me is not finding it. please feel free to ignore or point me in the direction of the thread. that being said, I have never decorated the outside of our cabin door. in 298 days, we will set sail for the 1st time as a family of 4, and I think my kiddos would get a kick out of being able to find our cabin door, so show me your pics of your cabin doors. I want to see them all! also, if you have any carnival approved tips for applying your stuff to your door, please let me know as well. command hooks, etc....TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hftmrock Posted October 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I have never decorated my door because I don't want to try to find fire retardant material and I have heard kids and drunks can remove the decorations but here is the carnival approved tips 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...
Rare pyropoodle Posted October 24, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I've seen the rules, but appreciate you posting them. more just looking to see how creative everyone can be with this tiny 2x6 foot area to decorate. I have seen some really neat doors on various cruises and I wish I had taken pics of them, but at the time I was footloose and kid free! but now, kids. I'd like to make it memorable for them, even if it lasts 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sprint180 Posted October 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I have never done this. But plan on it for our next cruise. It's my daughters birthday so I thought it would be fun. a couple from my cruise last december - They are not mine. a grandma and a little girl did the Thanksgiving one if I remember right. It was cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trvlgirlmq Posted October 24, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Those are just a few. We like to theme! We use a Command Strip on the inside of the door and twine on a dowel to hold the decorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pyropoodle Posted October 24, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted October 24, 2018 or it could be hanging at your house right now! I'm not that smart :) but I like that idea a lot, easy to put on a dowel with the twine. I still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, those are the doors (hallway side) on Breeze, Vista and the new doors on Triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pyropoodle Posted October 24, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted October 24, 2018 ahh. I haven't been on a 'new' ship yet. I reckon i'll see them in the sunrise since it's the triumph. I'm excited to go on even a refurbished ship. hopefully, after my youngest turns 2, we'll be able to cruise more often. this 300 day wait is KILLING me.

They are now lighter and brighter as on the Dream and Vista class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless they are metal that looks like wood? hey, you never know....) so command hooks or those peel n stick decals might be the only way to go on this. can you confirm if it is indeed wood?

trvlgirlmq Posted October 24, 2018 #24 Share Posted October 24, 2018 The new doors are not metal. You don't want to put anything sticky that might not come off as it ruins the door. The Command strip is the only thing we have found that won't leave a sticky residue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by "the new doors are not metal." We sailed on the Horizon and our magnetic door sign from Custom Cruise Wear stuck to it just fine. I'm not aware of anything else that magnets stick to other than metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
