Do you decorate your door?

[HappyValley3]

And a few more.....

[mrstriceasnice]

OMG! I love that! Where did you get it? How much did it cost? And how quickly does it come in? We are getting married on the Imagination on August 3, 2014, so we are running out of time, but now I want one!

 

Thanks. Vista Print. It was about $20 or $23. It came fairly quickly (about two weeks) and they can ship faster if needed.

Always decorate our door!

 

Where did you get your flip flips palm tree cuts out s and such?

For the large flip flops, I traced one of my size 6 1/2 onto craft foam and cut it out, then cut strips of craft foam for the straps in a different color. Cut a small slit where the straps would go, push the straps through and duct taped them to the underside. For our name, I opened Microsoft Word, inserted the word art I liked, filled in the names with colors I liked and cut them out, laminated the name and glued them to the front of the flip flops. I used a small magnetic strip on the back to put them on the cabin door.

 

Bird and trees came from Party City or the Dollar Tree.

 

On the other door, I again used craft foam for the small flip-flops and sun glasses with magnetic strips on the back. You can go to also go the a craft store and find cheap unpainted items and paint them to suit you and add magnetic strips to the back.

 

I am the official door decorator for our cruises and I always try to do a nice design on the cheap and everyone is always happy with them.

 

I know cabins have door numbers, but decorated doors really do help in finding your room, especially when cruising with my 78 yr. old Mom. To me it is just an added extra to cruising fun.

 

Good luck. :)

Just call me tacky then. Heck you could even sing the Weird Al song to me, but I will be decorating my door on the Triumph in November. And if anyone else decorates theirs, I'll be by to take a picture.

I'm a sci-fi geek and have thrown all kinds of theme parties at conventions, so I'm a pro at decorating small spaces, and I love it.

[Eeyoregon]

Yep, I'm a door decorator. I go simple and use stuff from the Dollar Tree etc.

I am a professional, an adult, and I have five kids. In fact, I'm an attorney who represents kids, including kids in juvenile delinquency matters.

 

I know better.

 

But in my heart I'm still a juvenile. A bad one.

 

I cannot pass a white board on a door at night without writing something.

 

It's usually something funny, it's never a "bad word", and God help the people who have three or four cabins in a row with white boards on them.

 

I have now confessed my sins!

Disney only allows magnets, do not know what Carnival allows however if you use tape you will be responsible for damage to paint. I have decorated on several cruise lines it's kinda fun and I never lose my room.

If you use blue painter's masking tape it won't damage. Also the 3M sticky strips usually prevent damage too.

[tracyvansmith]

Yes we decorate. On one cruise we had the people in the next cabin thank us for it. They told us because of our door being decorated they could find their cabin easier.

 

The easiest is to buy the paper cut out and stick them up.

It's quite the thrill.

Surprising my mother with a retirement cruise in 2 weeks, so I think I need to start looking for retirement decorations.

 

 

 

Where did you get the happy birthday ones from? Are they just taped on? I want to do this as a surprise for someone on our cruise in oct.

Tape would never be necessary so no worry about damage.

 

Just use poster tacky for non-metal doors or magnetic tape for metal doors.

We have done some simple beachy/cruise themed signs for group cruises. With my kids, I brought gel window clings and put them on the windows of our oceanview cabins. The kids loved being able to find our cabins from the pier. (so did I, for that matter!) I'm a little paranoid and don't like the idea of our names on the doors. I did intend to do matching shirts for our last trip, but I ran out of time.

[bplazo]

No, because it seems tacky and pointless to me....

 

Although -if I was going with a group then I think I would change my tune.

 

I agree it looks tacky.

[kiwigirl12]

I don't but I admit it's nice to see decorated doors whilst navigating the corridors. :) I also appreciated it when my cabin steward decorated our door with a birthday sign with my name on it and birthday balloons. The room next to mine also had decorations to celebrate the couple who occupied it's wedding anniversary.

I made a magnet for our son and our cabin door! Love to decorate sometimes I takes window clings also for the balcony door! Of course the walls are magnetic, so they get decorated also!

[hockeyluver]

my friend is cruising with me, it is her second cruise first was in 2004. She is addicted to the movie Frozen, i found a poster that i plan on putting on the door when she isnt around :p :p :p I also bought a Canadian flag banner to hang on the balcony.

 

 

My daughter bought me these hanging flip flops that i put on our door on the Victory and the Valor

We just sailed the Dream July 27th and the kids were with us, we had a Grammie celebrating a birthday and our oldest dd was celebrating since this trip was her hs graduation trip. We had banners,balloons, streamers, a pirate mask for our son and we did window clings for the 3 aft ext balconies we had. It was fun and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

[Hootymae]

I've decorated my door each cruise after my first one. Since my partner will not sail with me I usually go with my (94 yr old) aunt. We are both "locationally" challenged so it really helps us. For us, it's both fun and "necessary." It's all about fun.

[cshore1957]

We never decorated our door on past cruises. but this time I am going to.. I am a big scrap booker.... so I decorated a page on 12 by 12 card stock.... BUT I am going to make a copy of the page at Office Depot, and put the copy on another piece of card stock, and over the copy decorate with some of the same stuff so it will still have the 3 D appearance... I spent a few hrs on this page and don't want it ripped off my door. Soooo... if this one is ripped off it won't really matter... :) I showed it to a friend of mine that is also sailing on the Paradise a couple of mos after we do, and she asked me to make a copy for her as well... :)

[Bunkie103]

I've done it for a while now....even if it is tacky, it's fun. ;)We usually sail around our anniversary and my birthday so I make a poster and maybe pick up a few tropical items at the $ store. I have had my share of decorations ripped off, but I always make a spare set too. Our cabin stewards have told us they like the poster because it helps them to remember our names. :D

[elliair]

Never have but the next 2 cruises I plan to. I bought the gel stickies at Big Lots. Our cruise in October is during Halloween and I plan to get Halloween stickies for the door. If someone takes them, I won't get upset.

[crusinpsychRN]

We did for our Halloween cruise and we just bought stuff today for our cruise in November. We are going for a tiki beach theme.

And your door was awesome at Halloween!

 

When it's a holiday like that, decorating the door is almost part of the agenda.
