Are the cabin walls magnetic

Now I am sure I read somewhere that the cabin walls are magnetic,and if we wanted to put a map on the wall,small magnets would hold it on place, rather than blue tac.

Did I read it somewhere, or is it one of my dreams again?

Well if it was a dream it was very vivid. Cos yes they are metal and magnets will stick to them. :)

Thank you Dai,some of my dreams are very strange, but I was sure I had read it somewhere.

Yes they are. We stick the ipad to the wall and watch films!

Always buy fridge magnets on a cruise. Store them and display them on the cabin wall, by the bed. Very colourful!

Loobs40, that is a new one on me!!!!!!!. Is your case magnetic then??

I assume these are films you have downloaded, that are probably more upto date than what is shown on the tele in the cabin.

I have a google nexus -I guess that is a tad too small to attach to the wall and watch anything.

silver service now we usually seem to end up buying a fridge magnet, but hadn't thought of putting on the wall in the cabin.....

clever people on here

It was my husband who discovered this by accident on an NCL cruise.It is indeed the cover that is metal. We download films and programmes from bbc iplayer etc onto the ipad and watch them on the plane or late at night.

I also have some recent Take That concerts on my IPad that I like to watch....

I'll get my coat....

in which case loobs40, if it's Take That I will get my coat as well-even though I am a lady of a very certain age!!!!!!

We get a fridge magnet to hold our Itinerary/booked shorex on the cabin wall. (Worked on Arcadia, so you will be right on J402!)

looks as though our cabin walls will be festooned with all manner of things then.

Thank you all very much.

NSWP -we are putting off buying ship shore excursions until we are onboard ,so our OBS goes towards it. Hopefully we will still get all the ones we want.

Some we are wandering around on our own.

Never been on Arcadia ,so here's hoping we like her. Nice of P and O to spruce her up for us!

We also take board magnets to display Horizon, itinerary etc and also take magnetic hooks which also come in very handy especially on Oceana where we find storage space limited.

That has got to be the best question i have seen for a long time, i have done 7 cruises and didnt know the answer!!! See i am not too old to learn new tricks haha

Always happy to oblige I will think of some more off the wall questions,if I can!!😄

The door is magnetic too!

Anyone know about the Grand Princess? I called customer service and they told me the walls would not hold a magnet, but I'm inclined to not believe them so much... Also, the operator thought I was cuckoo for asking. LOL

Its exactly the same on the Grand, metal walls and doors, you appear to be getting on as we get off her!

I picked up the fridge magnet thingy on the 'First Time Cruisers' forum before we went on our first cruise last February. So I took some along with me and lo and behold, they did a fantastic job of keeping all my excursion tickets, Horizon and lord knows what on the walls and in a safe place.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! Enjoy your cruise :D

English Lady,

What a great question! Thank you and everyone else;it has led to some very useful ideas/tips . I shall definitely get a map for the Caribbean cruise we have booked for next year....and get a couple of hooks.:):)

Starry

We use them for any number of things B day cards, photo of our baby dog and very useful for leaving notes for the OH when we do separate things in the day saves you wandering around looking for them.

While the following video isn't for P&O the process is the same for most cruise lines including P&O. A lot of people don't realise that the cabins are fabricated off the ship then wheeled into place. You can see the metal walls and doors being put together, its a short video not the whole process!.

Hope you find it interesting :)

Excellent video CCFC. Very interesting. Thanks.

@CCFC what a great video! Thanks for posting - I had no idea they were pre-fab! Fascinating!
