Organized Chaos Posted March 30, 2019 #26 Share Posted March 30, 2019 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!Oh that was another thread? Oops. People here will probably wonder what the heck I was talking about. LOL I can’t keep the threads straight sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) That's terrible! I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm glad that you didn't let it ruin your vacation. 1 minute ago, Organized Chaos said: 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? It is very unfortunate that people do things like that. My conscience would bother me too much. I don't understand how it doesn't do the same for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the thread about the cruise crazies. But that thread was active the same time the free pens thread was popping before we got in trouble....I don't think anyone has posted on it in a couple of days.

I don't know how to link the other thread otherwise I would. Ah, that thread. Gotcha. I remembered you saying you were making it at work. It's one thing for someone to steal a wall decoration, like something bought from a store, for example. It's still terrible, but with something like that, I guess the thief thinks they can take it home and hang it on their own wall. But I hear about people stealing homemade door decorations like yours. Seriously, what in the heck are they going to do with it? Although, ones with names, like yours, will probably be safe (safer?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, like I said, everything on it is from the Dollar Tree (except the seashells, but I live in Charleston so I can get more of those). If anyone steals it, I'll be out like 5 bucks. I might be a little upset about my boat that I worked so hard on, though....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted March 30, 2019 #31 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I've never decorated our door, though I've thought about doing it. We'll be on the Breeze for Halloween and I thought I would just hang some orange and black beads. Lame, I know. I'm going to start small. 😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my manager is pretty chill. It's HER boss who is the hard @$$. But I have the kind of job where I am either really busy or I have nothing to do. But I have to sit and answer the phone so I have to fill the time somehow. Edited March 30, 2019 by emoorehead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted April 1, 2019 #38 Share Posted April 1, 2019 We are not ones to decorate our door but I'll say this for nearby door decorations: They serve as great landmarks, when going back to our cabin late at night! So thank you for doing your door, near ours! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyislandwilldo Posted April 1, 2019 #43 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I found someone on Esty to made the top image for us. Both images I pasted on a magnet sheet and that's how they stuck to the door. Edited April 1, 2019 by Anyislandwilldo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lele100 Posted April 1, 2019 #45 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I thought the decorations had to be fire retardant, I see some people use just copy paper, how strict are they about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was going to ask. I'm not trying to be a party pooper to this thread because I give props to everyone who makes door decorations. I enjoy seeing them on board and pictures of them on the forum. When they came out with the rule last year (or maybe it was 2017) that all door decorations had to be made of fire retardant material, there was a lot of talk around CC about the rule, but I don't recall anyone mentioning being forced to take theirs down. I get it, fires on boats/ships are one of the most dangerous things that can happen and no one wants to be the cause of one or inadvertently help spread one. But if there's a fire big enough to spread down a cabin hallway, I don't see how a decoration on a door is going to make it worse. In my experience, there doesn't seem to be many people who actually do it, so it's not like the hallways are full of flammable decorations. Yes, safety first, definitely, but I don't think a decorated door, out of many doors in a section of hallway, is going to cause a catastrophe if there's already a fire big enough to spread down the hall and fire suppressant systems are failing to contain it. I'm not encouraging breaking this rule. I just can't help but feel like it's a little bit overkill, what with the relatively small number of people who even do it. And especially considering they didn't believe such a rule was necessary in the past. Maybe it came about due to federal inspections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree with you completely on this one. And we also need to mention how many other flammable things will be on the ship - clothing, papers, table cloths, your breath after 3 days of the Cheers package...... So I figure if they make me take it down, they make me take it down. I still had fun making it and it killed some time waiting for my vacation. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
