hartskys Posted March 12, 2010 #151 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Carnival Freedom 6/20/09 Finally....I found the coolest gel stickers at Hobby Lobby but on the label it said can only use on windows. Walls, wood, etc stickers could leave a stain. Did yours say the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calker Posted March 12, 2010 #152 Share Posted March 12, 2010 If you click on Host Mach's name it will show an e-mail link to him. Just e-mail him and he will send you a Cruise Critic sign that you can personalize. I thought he suggested that you put "Cruise Critic Sign" in the reference line.

Meredisney Posted March 12, 2010 #153 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Magnets don't work really well - but the wall next to the door is better for that. For door decord, poster putty (blue goo stuff) worked best for me - and it came off completely without any trouble. Thanks Fungusgnat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Travelnow Posted March 12, 2010 #154 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Where do you get a cruise critic sign at for the door? Or do you just make one? Thanks, Robin in Cincinnati, OH http://www.cruisecritic.com/doorsign.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjmt Posted March 12, 2010 #155 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I always decorate. We usually go at Easter time so I put Easter bunnies on, or an Easter flag or something. It's always different. This year we went in January.....so I went with a Hawaiin theme???? Our cruise critic group wore leis to recognize each other, so I carried the theme through to the door. We had two rooms. There are flowers along the time and grass skirt to walk through to enter the room...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samigccls Posted March 13, 2010 #156 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I decorated the door with a simple sign using publisher on the Carnival Freedom and I'm headed out in two weeks on the Carnival Spirit. My best friend just asked me if I was decorating again this trip! After seeing this thread I realize I have lots to do to make the decorations even better! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma58 Posted March 14, 2010 #157 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I always decorate the door. It makes it much easier to find you room whether you are sober or drinking. If you don't decorate your door then hang on to a receipt for something you bought as it will have room number on it. Learned this on a previous cruise when on sailaway day I could not remmebr my room numer, but new what floor I was on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamanxs Posted March 14, 2010 #158 Share Posted March 14, 2010 It definetly helps you find your door when they all look the same walking down the hall. The ones Host Mach will send you are a little different than the ones that Laura has posted in the Roll Call threads. I need to make one for our group cruise coming up. I have a flag I was was thinking about about bringing but not sure yet. It is one of the garden flags that has the world on it. I was thinking about puting the names of the cruises I had been on it. Or have everyone marking on it the areas they are traveling from on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rrraydon Posted March 14, 2010 #160 Share Posted March 14, 2010 My cruise last month was the first time we had ever decorated our door. It was the week of the winter olympics and we covered our door with US stuff. Everytime our steward saw us he would chant..USA..USA..USA. He was funny. Plan to do beachy stuff on the next one.

If you don't decorate your door then hang on to a receipt for something you bought as it will have room number on it. Learned this on a previous cruise when on sail away day I could not remember my room number, but knew what floor I was on I spent the entire 7 days trying to "guess" which way to turn once I got off the elevator - fore/aft, port/starboard. My internal compass was just as wonko at the end of the week as it was on Day 1!!!:eek::eek: While I had the door decorated, it was a challenge to get close enough for that to even matter!

Walls, wood, etc stickers could leave a stain. Did yours say the same thing? My stickers said window clings but didn't say anything about staining the walls (either that or I didn't read the whole package:p). After we took them off the doors looked like they did when we boarded so we didn't have any problems. I can see how the colors in the stickers could stain white walls though but the doors should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semichigan Posted March 28, 2010 #172 Share Posted March 28, 2010 We are using a 'Congrats Grad' door banner for our son's cabin door (college graduation trip) and for our door (and the others in our group) we are putting up those triangle pennants and will identify the parents, grandparents, etc. I also made goodie bags with Purdue branded items, water bottle, string back back, koozie, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
