SevenSeas70 Posted May 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2015 No, I'm not designing my own cruise ship, but on a future cruise I will need to some privacy in part of the cabin. Someone suggested hanging a (shower) curtain from the ceiling attached to magnet hooks. Will this work and will it be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynki Posted May 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Possibly. However please be warned, you could end up going blind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenSeas70 Posted May 13, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Possibly. However please be warned, you could end up going blind... Actually, it will not be a transparent curtain. Sorry. However, I would appreciate comments on whether magnetic Handi-Hooks would hold onto the cabin ceilings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSinPNS Posted May 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2015 We hung clothes in front of the vent using magnets. Dried fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny01 Posted May 14, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2015 My initial reaction was you were asking so you could hang a mirror on the overhead above the bed! The decks are 'metal' so it's metal up there, but it could be covered making it hard to get attachments to it. But the earlier post said they hung clothes from the ceiling using magnet hooks so that sounds good.....if your curtain hooks placement aren't blocked. Hope you have a backup idea/plan which would be good even if it looks like someone else was successful using magnetic hooks. My post isn't much help except being 'funny', I never really looked up and examined the overhead of our SRs. Sorry. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted May 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yes, the ceiling is metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted May 14, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I haven't been on any ship where the ceiling was anything else. I could be wrong, but metal reduces the chance of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestchick Posted May 14, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Do those metal hooks have a name and if so, where can I find some? I remember seeing on here someone putting them on their door to hold purses, umbrella, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midwestchick Posted May 14, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I don't know about a name, but I have found them at Walmart Thanks. I'm looking for something that has a 10lb. test weight to it. Do you think those would work? What department in Walmart? When I go there, I like to be in and out...not a big Walmart fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainer Posted May 14, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Any hardware store or Lowe's or Home Depot will have a variety of these in sizes from small to huge. You can get the magnets with clips or hooks, as you need. And someone there will direct you unlike the Walmart -- a place I absolutely never go to even though one is five minutes from my home.

SevenSeas70 Posted May 14, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted May 14, 2015 First, thanks to all those who confirmed that the ceilings are metal. Second, the hooks I found at Home Depot are called "Handi-Hook" and have a round magnet about 2 inches in diameter with a metal hook. They're rated at "up to" 20 pounds for vertical support, such as for hanging keys on a wall. An illustration also shows using one to support a light hanging from above, but no value is given for that use. They have a non-scratch liner, so the ceiling shouldn't be damaged in use.
