margaritaville4me Posted May 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'm sitting here thinking about my last cruise and I think I was the only one on the whole ship that decorated my door. I loved it! I knew right where my room was. I was wondering if anyone else decorates their door and if you had any pictures to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser/teacher Posted May 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have not yet decorated my door, but I leave on Thursday and there are 4 cabins side by side in our group. So I went out and got some decorations... beachy things, flip flop pictures and flower cut outs from the party store and some white sticky tack stuff and we will be decorating so we can find our rooms! I'll post pictures when I return. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2brattyboys Posted May 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have decorated the door for both of our Disney cruises. The kids loved it! I also decorated the doors when 18 women cruised for my grand-mother's 80th birthday. It was great because we knew where he others were. Getting ready to take the kids on Carnival for the first time and plan on decorating. Does anyone know if the doors are metal? I always have used the magnetic printer paper in the past.

gazingm42 Posted May 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2009 When we are on a group cruise with friends and family we normally do. But when by just us and the kids we don't. DW is a scrap booker and so she cuts dies out and has some great ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covkid Posted May 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I decorate our door, it makes it so much easier to find your cabin (no not due to drinking) but all the doors in the corridor are alike so decoration helps( I did mine with flip flops,bucket and spade sunglasses etc.,) all from a party store. It is fun to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew's Wife Posted May 30, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I always decorate our door. I use the same decorations each time... In honor of Husband's Air Force career... I just leave them packed in the suitcase ready for the next cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammi0916 Posted May 30, 2009 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Does anyone know if the doors are magnetic? I want to decorate ours since we will be leaving on the 4th of July and have a small dry erase board that is magnectic. We are on the Glory! Thanks!

LUPY48 Posted May 30, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Since we were on our cruise on St. Patrick's Day, I put a big shamrock on our door. It helped me find the room many nights, yes, due to drinking! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted May 30, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I will be decorating our door for the first time on this upcoming cruise in September since we will be on board for 12 days. I just never remembered before, even though I loved it when I saw that others had done that. I am looking for something suitable now. Don't know if the DREAM will have magnetic doors or if I need to bring painters tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Jag Posted May 30, 2009 #15 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yep! In fact, I won the Carnival Colors door decorating contest on my Glory cruise 2 weeks ago. I actually decorated my door and my mom's door across the hall. My room: My mom's room (with fingerpainted signs by my 3-year-old): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Yes, the doors are metal, and the MagnaDoodle I had with the magnetic strips on the back stuck just fine. However, I would suggest that you also invest in the 3M poster hanger tabs so that your board doesn't fall off when the door slams shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykgorbie Posted May 30, 2009 #17 Share Posted May 30, 2009 This was what I thought was so clever to make and bring along on our Jan 8/09 Miracle Cruise. It was a friend's 40th birthday the day we set sail...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighka Posted May 30, 2009 #20 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I was going to ask this EXACT same question! Thanks for putting it up! I remember seeing Cruise Critic signs with the passengers' on line names - thought it was great! I LOVE those fish LadyJag. Where did you find them? Me thinks I'll be taking a trip to Party Central tomorrow for decorations! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomofBoyz Posted May 30, 2009 #24 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Doors on the Sensation are magnetic and, funny story, we decorated our doors for the first time on our last cruise...really cute with magnets that stuck right on. It was great to easily identify our two cabins by the decorations. One night someone moved our door decorations down the hall a good ways and we tried and tried our keys over and over...finally we figured it out. We actually had to check to see which rooms were ours since we had become used to using the decorations to ID them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerikaner83 Posted May 31, 2009 #25 Share Posted May 31, 2009 we didn't decorate the doors on the elation, but probably will with the next one on the Dream :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
