firstbadger Posted December 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I've read NCL no longer allows anyone to decorate their doors. True? Anyone been a ship recently where this was strictly enforced? Headed on cruise during Christmas. Worth parking a few small items to decorate door or don't bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidstoat Posted December 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I am on the Joy right now. It's day four and my cruise ship decorations are still up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted December 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2022 we were on the gem in nov and many cabins had door decorations. i cant see why that would present a problem for ncl, especially if they are holiday decorations. i dont think either scrooge or the grinch is sailing anytime soon. so, bon voyage and have a happy holiday sailing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted December 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 7, 2022 NCL did ban them a few years ago (it was printed in the dailies) but even then, enforcement wasn't consistent. Current dailies don't have anything regarding door decorations as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KateQ22003 Posted December 8, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The ban was in the dailies on the Pearl in August, and I didn't see any decorations on doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa, that's outrageous! Your husband's sticky makes me feel happy (waitaminute, that didn't sound right)! Now, I'm going to search out a huge happy face for our cabin.

Grrrrr...😡 Hmmm, I wonder if they'd dare order us to remove Cruise Critic signs. Or is there any sort of decorative NCL stockholders thing (my Beloved had this hunch and dumped a few bucks in)? 🤔 Anyway, bah humbug, NCL! 👎 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is yet another reason to attend our Meets'n'Greets. Senior staff will be there and questions will be asked and gentle grrrrrrr-ing given, if necessary 🙂 Btw, Ho Ho and Happy Holiday of Your Choice! 🎄🕎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside your cabin, not on the door. Why is decorating doors so blinking important? I can understand decorating the inside of your cabin, but is it really important to declare your taste and creativity to people merely passing in the corridor? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF the cruise line allows it, then decorate away! Throw up a wicked witch, a cute little puppy, maybe my Christmas Hippo, or that anniversary note. I don't decorate my door, because I don't want to. But, lord have mercy, I'll support anyone's right to decorate their door...if it's within the rules of the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure makes your door easier to find when it’s late and you are very tired or tipsy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted December 23, 2022 #23 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I like seeing doors decorated on cruises. I do remember that when NCL was posting about door decorations not being allowed they wrote that it could be a fire hazard. As many of you know, I cruise with my dad. He has been diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s/dementia. I have been doing a lot of reading and research to support him and to continue traveling with him. One of the recommendations for cruises is to put a photo of the person on their cabin door or to put photos of familiar items from home on the outside of the cabin door. This can (apparently) reduce disorientation. I wonder if NCL would consider this. (I haven’t needed to do this yet.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
