Approved means of hanging wall decorations

[Tampa Girl]

In the past I have used a certain stick-on brand to hang things on the cabin walls.  Does anyone remember the name of the brand and if it is still HAL-approved?

3M makes a number of products, such as hooks and adhesive strips, that hold well but can be removed from the wall when finished with no holes, marks, or sticky residue. I don't know whether or not HAL approves any 3M or similar products. When in doubt, magnetic hooks are fine.

I have not found metal walls in our cabins.  However, the person for whom this question is being asked is on Deck1, a J inside unit.  Would anyone know is those wall are amenable to magnets?

What ship? Most HAL ships have walls and ceilings amenable to magnets, but in a recent thread, one ship was mentioned as an outlier. I don't recall which one.

Zuiderdam is one without magnetic receptive walls.

Yes, that is the ship at issue.  Can I assume that a sister ship, Oosterdam, also is not magnetic receptive?

I've heard the door frames and ceiling hold magnets on Zuiderdam. I don't know about the sister ships.

Currently on Westerdam (same class). These were on the cabin wall when I arrived. They seem rather strong.

I put my magnetic hooks on the ceiling on my last cruise even though the walls were magnetic.  The hooks from the ceiling can hold more weight and because the ceiling was not too high, I could still easily access what ever was hanging from the hooks.

The door itself is magnetic.

Are you referring to the 3M Command strips?

We couldn't use magnets on the side walls on Zuiderdam this year, but I tried the outside hull wall next to the window and it was magnetic!  I placed my itinerary, etc. there just above my nightstand.

That's the one.

I have to ask- what sort of "wall decorations" does one hang on a cruise ?

My decorations consist of my scooter charger cords. Works for me.

I had Christmas decorations during our Zaandam Antarctica cruise.  I also have a world map which hangs on a wall during each cruise, highlighting our route as we progress.  They were applied, I think, with 3M; but when I removed them on the Zaandam, they did not come off cleanly.

We hang pictures, a calendar, invitations, the daily schedule, musical instruments (ukulele), hats (we've encountered rooms with no hooks), and lanyards at night.
