Daniel A Posted December 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We want to have a door sign on our SIL's cabin door at embarkation. In the past, I've seen "Congratulations", "Retirement" door signs but I don't see anywhere where you can get anything other than Birthday cabin decorations that are put up by steward at turn down service. Does anyone know if we can have a sign that says "Thank You!" placed on her door? How would I get that done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted December 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I realize that you are approaching this from the angle of a sign being provided by Princess...but *many* people just print up their own sign and stick it to the door with magnets. You could make it much more personalized in this way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be hit or miss whether this even gets done on embarkation day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be her first cruise and will be with us as we are finally allowed to go to our cabins. So I wouldn't have the opportunity to get the sign up without her seeing it with us earlier.

skynight Posted December 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Have not seen a thank you sign. Signs are not always in place when you first board. Cabin stewards are very busy just getting the cabins ready for new passengers. Signs may come later. Maybe you want to thank with a gifted bottle of wine, flowers or something else.

EDDY0827 Posted December 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Daniel- When you and your party got to your embarkation lunch, excuse yourself to "go to the rest room" and hang your sign then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Idea but without opening a hornet's nest on this thread, it's been my experience that on Regal, you can't get access to the decks where the staterooms are until they release all the staterooms. I would expect that once they're released she will want to go right away to see her stateroom and balcony. I'm sure I will be able to cobble some type of plan together. I was just thinking it would be so much easier if Princess could do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a quick visit to the PSD and ask for crew assistance. I think that they would help you do this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrimmins Posted January 1, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Any vinyl sign cutter can turn one out fast and inexpensively. I had cut a number of them for halloween a few years ago on the Golden. Easy on and easy off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality is high and she will do her best to make something really special. We were surprised by the quality of the sign and speed at which it was done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted January 5, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We have always been able to get to our stateroom as soon as we board to put our carryon luggage in the cabin even if it is being cleaned. We simply drop it and go to lunch since we are usually one of the first group to board. It would be easy to put a sign on the door just make sure the steward knows it is your sign.

vampiress Posted January 11, 2020 #25 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) i know you wanted it on her door for check in, but possibly sneak back during dinner and put it on her door so its a surprise after dinner treat? or maybe for muster, send them ahead and trail behind and then add it to their door. your sign turned out great! i'm looking to make some for our alaska trip, Dad retired in september, and this is the big hoorah to celebrate.
