karscott Posted March 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hello, Finally making a leap from Princess/RCL/Celebrity 4000+ passenger cruises and giving Oceania Insignia a try later this year. I have a couple of basic questions to which I cannot find answers on the O web site: 1. Are the walls and doors in staterooms magnetic? I've become used to bringing along magnetic hooks/clips for various purposes and would like to know if they'll be useful on Insignia. 2. What type of stateroom entry does Oceania use (e.g. card/medallion/key?) I can't seem to find this info anywhere. Thanks in advance, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbyma Posted March 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Oceania uses a card for room entry. Don't know about the magnetized walls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEFIowa Posted March 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2023 We were on Sirena 11/18-28/2022. - The door is metal. I like to buy refrigerator magnets from the ports and put them on my outside door. The walls were more miss than hit. Wife had to find a spot over by the dresser mirror where she could hang her magnetic hooks. - O gives you your cruise card at check-in embarkation as an ID and room entry. They also provide a small folding wallet-type holder for the card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdeb Posted March 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Most of the walls, and all of the ceiling, are magnet friendly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the cabins were refreshed, the wall coverings reduced/eliminated the usefulness of the magnets. On my last cruise on Riviera in January, I used my magnets on the back of the door. I was on Nautica last September, right after her refresh, and the magnets did not work. I did not try using them on the back of the door. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the Nautica next month and I wondered the same about the magnets. I love it when someone asks a question I had so I know I'm not the only one, LOL.
