ScottC4746 Posted May 16 #1 Share Posted May 16 Just curious, I see this a lot on RCCL but don't remember on Celebrity and was going to get some for my Edge cruise in two weeks. What is y'all's thoughts on magnetic cabin door decor themed for the region. Something like these: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted May 16 #2 Share Posted May 16 You will see very few doors decorated probably less than 5%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lena11033 Posted May 16 #3 Share Posted May 16 My last couple of cruises there were quite a few decorations on doors on the floor I was on. Some of them were pretty creative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I guess it's same as ducks some people don't like them but my last one there were a few ducks and I found it cute. I started looking for them but it was also a good excuse to get out walking and explore. I wish I had taken pictures now of the doors but ones I saw were all mardi gras themed due to the cruse. They are magnets so not doing any harm by having them up I say do it. I like the picture of the Alaskan one you had up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted May 16 #7 Share Posted May 16 (edited) They don’t bother me at all…we have a cruising through life magnet, helpful after taking full advantage of the cold beverage package on board. Edited May 16 by PTC DAWG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some cute ones out there from writing your name on them which I would never do, to "Caution we bought the drink package". I like this one: I found these on Amazon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SerraG Posted May 16 #10 Share Posted May 16 I like looking at them on the doors as I walk down the hallway and they can be useful to find your cabin. The ones you posted look cute. If they make you happy, you should put them up! 🙂 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC4746 Posted May 16 Author #11 Share Posted May 16 Welp, DH nixed the idea. He said to leave the decorating to the cruise lines and said it is a cruise not a trailer park alluding to the pink flamingos. Oh well, I still like them. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavias Posted May 16 #14 Share Posted May 16 I thought of doing it on our cruise, mostly to make it easy to find our door but we have a shared hallway door with another cabin. I found a really cool tie dyed moose that I thought was totally appropriate for Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I do laps around the decks indoors when it is hot out. Last cruise on Deck 9 there were 2 doors decorated on the starboard side , 1 aft just had occupants names 2 decorated on port side and one with Happy Anniversary sign.

It's not my thing at all, but it's your cruise and if is something you will enjoy and have fun with, go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't understand the "find the cabin" thing because you still have to remember what deck you're on to even have a chance at finding it. Assuming, of course, it hasn't migrated to another door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMCruiser Posted May 17 #20 Share Posted May 17 You do you. You're not hurting anyone and who cares what other people think? 1-2 tasteful magnets certainly wouldn't bother me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelling2Some Posted May 17 #21 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Door decorations for cruising are in the same category as party decorations. Both are temporary and tend to be kind of gaudy/tacky. Having a front yard full of plastic pink flamingos is more of a permanent display. My view is that "temporary tacky" is fun but permanent tacky is tasteless. Halloween costumes are like that too. Fun but not something to wear everyday. Edited May 17 by Travelling2Some 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minniemouse427 Posted May 17 #22 Share Posted May 17 (edited) I plan on decorating with magnets on both of our doors (we are next door to our two young adult children). The kids will probably roll their eyes a bit, but we are paying for it all so they can deal! Don't care if we are the only ones, it makes me happy!

anastasia3939 Posted May 17 #23 Share Posted May 17 On my last cruise, someone had a magnet that was a white board and they'd ask a different question every day for people to leave responses. Some examples, "what are your plans in port tomorrow?", "what is your favorite drink being served on the cruise?" etc. I actually thought that was really cool and would swing by every day to respond and read other's responses. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom and Ingrid Posted May 17 #24 Share Posted May 17 I'm in the "do what makes you happy" and "keep it tasteful" categories. Very few folks seem to decorate their doors on the cruises we have done - mostly the birthday/anniversary type - but I have NEVER been bothered by any. We don't do it, but I do glance at the doors that are decorated and some make me smile and some are forgettable, but none have a negative impact on my cruise. I like the themed ones in the OP, but would say "some, but not all" at one time. And, since I have walked right past my cabin door too many times to count, a magnet or decorated door nearby would definitely help me avoid/limit the extra walking 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a similar idea on one of my cruises. The white board had a quote written on it without identifying the person who said it. People would jot down the author’s name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
