hhmmm......do you think they were "acquired" by fellow passengers or do you think staff were told to take them down?

Can anyone confirm the cabin doors on Princess are magnetic? I'm liking the idea of the magnetic letters. That way people can leave us messages as well as us leaving little comments.

I have to tell you about a stupid thing we do when we go on holiday, it kinda fits into this thread (well almost!)...................We have a cuddly toy monkey (called Monty) who we take on holiday with us. He has magnetic hands, tail and eyes so that you can pose him covering his eyes with his hands etc etc. Anyway, it also means that you can stick him to metal using his hands. We had such a laugh on our last cruise, we used to pose him in our cabin each day and our Cabin Steward used to move him around. We couldn't wait to get back to our cabin at the end of the day to see where we'd find him and what he'd be doing. We bought him some outfits out of a kids' clothes shop and amongst all that he has a pair of speedos. One morning we hung him in the shower wearing his speedos and when we got back at night he was sitting on a bed with a towel wrapped round him! Another time we hung him from the ceiling with a fresh fruit request hooked round his tail. When we got back that night there was a bowl of bananas waiting for us. Sometimes we take him out with us and we have photos of him with various crew in various locations. He hung behind the pool bar next to a bottle of banana liquer one day. It's a great conversation starter as people always ask us why we've got him. We also buy him a pin badge from each country he's visited with us. It's at this point that I should point out that I'm 34 years old and not 10........I'm going now before I embarass myself any further!

Lovin' the door decor ideas! I'm defo going to do something for our girlie cruise round the Caribbean in November. We're three single girls so maybe we could try to collect some phone numbers!!!! Only joking.......

Our first cruise was October 2004 and it took in Halloween. We were sailing the Caribbean with Princess and over half the passengers on board were American. We didn't know how seriously mad about Halloween Americans are!!!! It's not that big over here in the UK so we never gave it a second thought. Halloween came and that night we were the only two muppets NOT dressed up. We stood out like sore thumbs. I have to ask one question though......how the hang do you pack all those costumes? There was a sumo suit and a panto horse!!!!!
