Is Celebrity too sophisticated for...

[Tao Diva]

It's a HUGE thing on Disney ships and I've seen it elsewhere to a limited degree. But I would like to hang a door sign on the outside of our cabin door with a magnetic hook.

 

The sign is made of thick, stiff felt hung on ribbons. (so it won't noisily smack against the door when opening or closing.) It's a sea shell, a dolphin, and an oval that says "Let's be mermaids".  Is Celebrity culture too sophisticated to appreciate such whimsy?

We don't do it but have enjoyed the decorated doors by other cruisers.  Celebrated a milestone birthday last year and Celebrity decorated our door.  I say Go For It!

Me too!!!

I've seen numerous doors decorated both by the passenger and by Celebrity for special occasions.    Doors are metal and many use magnets etc.

This is our door magnet (car door magnet from Vistaprint). Really helps find the door on a ship!

I've seen many doors decorated in various ways over the years and never thought anything other that people like to show some personal expression. If it makes you happy, do it. Maybe it'll just make someone smile as they walk by.

It'll stand out...no one will be bothered by it...esp if it does not clink!

Enjoy!

Please make sure you do not put anything on your door that is of special importance to you.

Unfortunately, things on the cabin door often "walk away".

I agree with the previous posters. I’ve seen many doors decorated with charming, colorful items. I’m one of those people who explores every deck, and I love all the cheerful door decorations. Go for it😊🐬

I think that it is a great idea and what others may or may not think really doesn't matter!

Oh no! That’s terrible. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

If Celebrity was that sophisticated, they probably would not let me sail with them.  🤣

We enjoy seeing those who decorate their doors on Celebrity.  You will fit right in!

Fairly common on all cruise lines , we enjoy seeing them.

You see them, nit a lot but they’re there.

We were on the Silhouette a couple of years ago and a gentleman named John was celebrating his 90th birthday. The family decorated his door. He became a celebrity (no pun intended) and everyone wanted their picture taken with John. So yes, it's a fun thing to do.

Not sure if this counts, but my DH decorated the inside of our cabin door.  Every time we went out the cabin door, I turned the wrong way, so he made this helpful reminder for me. 😁

Sooooooooo helpful!

[Dawniepoo]

I see people decorate their doors all the time, even on Princess. I'd say go for it. In fact, I'm going to do it too. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Tao Diva]

Thanks everyone! It's my first Celebrity cruise. I'm glad my little door tradition will not be inappropriate. My adult daughter and I are taking this cruise together and we share a playful spirit.

It will be absolutely fine and it helps you to find your cabin after too many drinks at the bar.

LOL!  Now that really would have been helpful on a B2B where our cabin was on one side of the ship for the first cruise and on the opposite side for the second cruise.

 

For the first couple of days of the second cruise, I had to stop and think about whether to turn left or right each time I headed out for the dining room or the theater.

Perfect for me..I never get it right!

 

Best door displays we've seen  on X were on Infinity for a Halloween cruise!  We usually just put out our Cruise Critic door sign..

On some premium and luxury lines we have seen them removed by staff!

I think this is what I was worried about. Not so much worried about loosing my sign, but of being branded "that" guest ruining the sophisticated ambiance for everyone on my deck.
