JillySue Posted February 2, 2015 #27 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I made the old one out of felt board, the new one is craft foam. I've also used a white board w/ command adhesive-- worked great! Got a lot of notes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted February 2, 2015 #28 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I decorate but only to make it easy to spot our door. Stores like the Dollar Tree have tons of cheap decor...that way if it is taken it is not a great lose. Carnival recommends Command products so there is no damage or residue left on the doors.

babygoats Posted February 2, 2015 #29 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm planning on making a door decoration for our cruise. Using my cricut is a great idea, I'm glad you mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitlions Posted February 2, 2015 #30 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think most of the decorations are very creative and funny. Some though are tacky and crude. I think I will let my son who will be 12 this cruise create one. Also I seem to recall room stewats removing some of the door art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahm2alexis Posted February 2, 2015 #31 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I haven't before, but plan on it for our upcoming cruise that leaves on Valentine's Day! I got some window clings from the dollar tree for our window too :) I got some "stickers" from the dollar tree too, they go on walls or whatever and come off clean, so I'm hoping they'll work on the door too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmh661983 Posted February 2, 2015 #32 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I would bring some Clorox or Lysol wipes to wipe door down first b/c the use an oily based cleaner Sent from my Huawei Y301A2 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearwatergirl Posted February 3, 2015 #33 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I always put up door decorations to make it easier to find the stateroom. Try to think of different themes for each cruise. Looks like it's a Beach theme for this one. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 3, 2015 #34 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Trying to decide what I want to put on mine this time. We are cruising on the 4th of July, but also on my 40th birthday (the 8th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michiganirish Posted February 16, 2015 #37 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Here is our door when we sailed this week in 2010. We had so much fun wearing our beads and masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandij Posted February 16, 2015 #39 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Just back and since we were on for Valentines day there were a lot of doors decorated, at least on our deck. I took the hearts that stick on glass and they did fine on the door, except for the two that someone took, hope they enjoyed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 16, 2015 #40 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The dollar store is a great place to find cute door decorations. I usually buy a couple sets, in case one gets stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted February 17, 2015 #41 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have read about the door decorations for years now. However, we didn't actually do one until our NCL Sun cruise back in November. Since we were on the Sun, this is what we came up with...3 suns, each with our name on them. However, the second to last day, someone stole them. BUT...we ended up finding it HANGING ON SOMEONE ELSES DOOR down the hallway. We were happy to retrive it and bring it back home. It's now in the scrapbook. :D We are wanting to do another door decoration for our Pride cruise. I want something that has to do with the whale tail. Any thoughts or ideas?

Cher222 Posted February 17, 2015 #42 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I admit to going the easy route and I buy a sheet of those jelly clings and stick them on the door. They stay pretty well, by the end of the week a few might have fallen of and got lost or maybe someone helped them off but it's 1.00 for the pack and they have cute summer ones with palm trees etc. Once someone moved them to the door next to ours which I thought was funny but they didn't fool us lol:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly.campbell Posted February 17, 2015 #43 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've decorated every cruise except for my first (because I didn't know better.) Initially, I used the excuse that my 2 year old needed to know which door was ours. However, I'm old enough to own it... I love decorating the door! We've had stockings at Christmas, There's no place like 8236, Ghosts of cruises past, Wanted for escaping and disturbing the peace, and more. Now, to figure out what to do that will be unique for our July 4 cruise. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea4ular Posted February 17, 2015 #44 Share Posted February 17, 2015 On our Alaska cruise I put up a gorgeous picture of an island with "Hawaii or bust" on it. Everyone got a kick out of it - it really does help you find your cabin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDayButToday Posted February 17, 2015 #45 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is the first time I'm decorating our door. Since its the first time I'm doing it, I went pretty simple. It's our honeymoon cruise so I got individual felt letters that spell out Just Married and then our wedding date. Maybe next time I will do more, but simple sounded good this time around.

tea4ular Posted February 17, 2015 #46 Share Posted February 17, 2015 When my husband graduated with his Doctorate, we did a big family cruise to Hawaii to celebrate (well, big by our standards) with 4 generations. I put a huge "Congratulations Dr. So and So" with his graduation date on it. I strung a sharpie on it and by the end of the trip there were hundreds of congratulation messages on it. That was in 2002, and we still talk about how wonderful that trip was, and how lovely everyone was to write such nice messages to a "stranger" - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb76 Posted February 17, 2015 #47 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I love to put something on our doors big or small. I love even more looking at other decorations when wandering the ship. Last Oct we hung some leis outside our room along with our decor. I always have a small white board as well. WE went through about 100 leis and every day got a thank you note! It was a blast!!

oomwizard Posted February 18, 2015 #49 Share Posted February 18, 2015 For a surfer/hula poster try Amazon. Search for surfer hula girl cutout or " stand in."
