But, it had a lot of words vs pictures so I thought I would try again to catch more/newer people. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted March 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thank you for not asking if the doors are magnetic. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emoorehead Posted March 11, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I am working on my door decorations right now. I am doing an "Under the Sea" theme. I bought the following items at the dollar store: Foam poster board Blue cellophane wrapping paper Die cut letters in red Kids fishing set Bag of pearls Sparkly red ribbon I cut a large piece of the wrapping paper and crumbled it up to get it wrinkly and then I wrapped it around the board to make it look like it is under water. Used tan card stock and cut it kinda wavy and attached it to the bottom of the board to look like the ocean floor. I printed out some fish and shell pictures and I am going to cut those out and affix them to the board. I will put the pearls inside some clam shells that I printed out. I also have a few real sea shells that I will attach and also the plastic fish from the fishing set. I am going to use the letters to put our names and the ship and sail dates. I will come back and post a pic when I get it done. My mom (sailing on the same cruise) is doing a board like this as well, but she is using silver and light blue because this trip is for my parents silver anniversary and the blue was their wedding color. She is going to put their names in silver and "1994-2019". She also got silver bows to put on it. If she will let me, I will post a pic of hers as well. We like the idea of the foam boards because we can make them up ahead of time (kills time waiting for our trip) and they will slide down into our suitcases so we can just slide them out and hang them up with command strips and not use a whole lot of cruise time decorating our doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted March 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Just a word of caution about what you put on your cabin doors: Things sometimes "walk away" so don't put anything on them of value to you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is, if it ever turns up missing, all security has to do is look for another Linda & Allen on board. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloverags2 Posted March 17, 2019 #14 Share Posted March 17, 2019 This was ours on the Elation a few weeks ago. The wooden sign was made from wooden background downloads and then Photoshop to create the signs. After I printed it on regular paper, the pieces were attached to heavy stock paper for classrooms and cut out. We used command strips to attach to the door.

dmdiver Posted March 17, 2019 #19 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've never done much with my doors. We tried some word magnets & refrigerator magnets on Magic, but they didn't stay on very well - just not strong enough. So now, I buy the dizzy danglers and hang them on the mailbox. They come with a small plastic hook and are intended to hang from the ceiling - kind of swirly things. I get them at Walmart in a package of 3 for a couple of bucks. The only purpose really is to help me find my cabin. This year there are 5 cabins, so we have a different color for each one. I like the idea of door decorating, but I just don't want to take the time to do it. I'd be fine if one of my travel companions wanted to do all the doors, but I think they're probably not going to take the time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can attest to that. I had this most awesome sun hanging from my mailbox, went missing day 2. My room steward however, happen to see where it ended up but he could not steal it back because he could not prove it was mine and re stealing out of a room would certainly get him in big trouble! So I wrote a note and taped it to my mailbox saying " You can steal my sun but you can't steal my fun! (true story) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wrote a note and taped it to my mailbox saying " You can steal my sun but you can't steal my fun! (true story)I guess the only option, if we have a nice decoration that we want to take back home, is to permanently put our name on it somewhere and hope that it’s found, like in your case. If it were me, I would’ve probably reported it to security anyway just to see if there’s anything they can do. Can’t stand a thief...and a fellow cruise passenger stealing decorations is just pathetic and sad. Lower than low. I mean, do they really want something like that so badly? Do they steal yard decorations from their neighbors too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's right....from the other thread.....lol. Yeah, making the ship was a great afternoon at work. Now I just have to figure out what I will do at my desk to kill time. Thanks!
