Putting Magnet on cabin door

[Hornnumb2]

Mother in law is coming with us and I want to put a magnetic K on the outside of the cabin door so its easier to find the room. Is there any problem with that? Thanks

The doors are metal so it should work out for you.

I've used magnets on my door with no problem for sticking there...

 

As for STAYING there and not being stolen... If you're mid-ship or by an elevator or high traffic, expect it to be stolen or relocated to another door.

 

Use tape and make it a poster of something home made that doesn't interest others... and chances are it will remain undisturbed.

 

I've had magnets stolen. But when I'm aft or forward, it's usually been safe -- altho, once in a aft facing cabin, I had a magnet stolen. It was ornate and decorated and home made. I guess someone else wanted it more.

My mother in law came with us last year. Magnet worked great, the "Keep Out" sign, not so well.

What ship? We were on the Splendor last year and the doors werent magnetic. Bring command strips for posters just in case.

The Fantasy and Elation had magnetic doors. The Freedom and the DREAM did not have magnetic doors. We used the clingy decorations on non magnetic doors and it worked great.

Yes, not all ships have METAL doors.

Does the Sunshine have metal doors?

Wondering which ships do not have metal cabin doors? :confused:

I don't the Liberty does because I always have to use the "tacky" stuff to put my door sign.

I purchased some gel type stickers to put on our door. You can find them at Big Lots.

This is our magnet for our next cruise and all future ones.

I bought some very bright, tropical looking flower barettes at the dollar store.. I just clipped them on our mailbox and we could see them from a distance. No one has ever bothered them.

Agree not all doors will hold magnets, I always carry sticky tabs and my trusty roll of duct tape. ;) I have used that numerous times. We always do up our doors and we are 50/50 for people removing things. Usually the last night of the cruise or Cozumel port where people tend to get a little more drunk. :p

Yep, every magnet we've put on our door has disappeared or moved down the hall. The barrette idea is very good. We used neon pipe cleaners woven in the mailbox the last few times. They didn't disappear but were put into different configurations.
