What Do You Put On Your Cabin Door?

The only way my DH can find our cabin is if I have something on the door......otherwise he would still be wandering around the halls looking for our cabin.  

Understandable!  Seriously, though, when your cabin door looks just like all the other cabin doors in a long row, looking for those goldfish makes finding the cabin just a little bit easier.  

On our last cruise I saw a mother and son walking down the hall, and the toddler said, "Fish, then one, two, three!"  He touched each door as he counted -- I predict he will be a good student one day.  It made me happy.

People steal personalized signs? What on earth do they do with them?  I only assume they are personalized because the big wooden sign had names on it. 

Some people don't need a reason to do bad things.

We always decorate our door.  We used to attach large island-style pictures that completely covered the door, then suround it by fish garland.  One time when we were able to get the Ben & Jerry's Sweet on a cruise, so we covered the door with a plastic cow-spots table cloth.  Now, we just post a couple of Cruise Critic signs and surround the door with the same fish garland we have used for years.  (And yes, it helps us and others find their cabins during the cruise.)

If you ever see a wooden sign that says “Beach House”, that’s us.  We don’t own a beach house and choose to cruise instead but we think of our cabin as our beach house.  And it does help us find our room.

 

For Christmas I’m putting up a dollar store countdown to Christmas sign.

We will have a Lego Christmas tree in the room.  We are taking it in pieces since we’re flying and putting it together on the ship.  16 night S2S in 3 days!

Can people not just remember there cabin number? How about nothing on the cabin doors? Is it necessary to make the corridors look like a tacky tourist shop?

I had this magnet made on Etsy without a specific ship or date so we can use it every time we sail.

I usually put some sort of decoration on the door.  On my last cruise I hung a lei on the door that a member of the entertainment staff had given me.  One couple walking by said thanks and that they used it as a landmark to find their cabin.  CTBob

totally agree with this

Live and let live.  

 

Thank goodness we are not all alike.  😉  Let the people have their fun and move on.   There are worse problems in the world.   Imagine the world with only one flavor of ice cream.   😮

We've decorated our door for every cruise. Our large magnets hold up a photo of all our critters (we raise show dogs, have a couple cats and a whisker of a racehorse - no children).    The large magnets were ordered on Vistaprint (prior to Etsy).

 

The year we sailed on Halloween and I made cute, holiday magnet decorations, they were all stolen from our door.

Avert your eyes....it'll all be better in the morning...........

It occurs to me that some people just can't stand it that others are enjoying themselves and having fun....pity!  People putting stuff on their cabin door is the last thing I would ever be annoyed by.  Not even on my radar.....

I can see the utility of this.   Previous job I used to stay in hotels 180-ish nights a year, mostly short trips.  I used to request rooms close to the elevator because after a long day of work I'd zone out walking down the hallway and 1/3 of the time pass my room.  If decorating hotel room doors were a thing, I'd have totally done it.

Of course we can, but it's fun to have something on your door.  

We sometimes "take the long way" just to see what people have put on their doors.

Then they search your cabin for smuggled on booze!   LOL

We’re back from our Radiance Cruise and our door hangers were a big hit! Lots of inquiries- “Where did you get those?” My answer, “I made them!” 😎

[ace1zoe2]

I usually make a specific one for each cruise. Print and put in a magnetic photo sleeve. I do them for friends traveling with us as well.

A "DO NOT DISTURB" sign

Unless you are bringing FOOD!

Charlie & Cindy, I love your door sign!

We count on our neighbors to put something on their door so we can find our way home. 

We find ours by reading the numbers. Duh!

We put a dry erase board on our door. I encourage passersby to jot a little something down. Gets humorous. Has never been overly offensive.

I've done it many times. Possibly yours was one of them. 😇

OK, this is very unique and something I've never seen personally.  What kinds of things would passersby share?
