Are the walls and doors magnetic?

[Big Red 85]

We will be sailing on the Joy in the future, our first trip on NCL.  Did I read somewhere that the walls are not magnet? True or not?  I assumed a steel ship would be almost totally magnetic.

Just off the Jade.  The wall (at least on 1 side) was magnetic - I was able to use the hook magnets I brought.

Most walls/doors/ceilings are metal, however some of the surfaces have a covering/coating that makes it tricky for some magnets to stick. If your magnets are super strong, they should work just about anywhere.

Thanks for the replies.  Only strong magnets need apply.  Good to know.

No they are NOT magnetic.  However I do believe the doors are sreel and a magnet will adhere to them, but they are nt in and of tjemslevs magnetic.

That does not make the wall magnetic.  Your magnetic was the magnetic object not the wall.  Just an FYI.

I haven't been on the joy but the only room I've been in on any ship that my magnets wouldn't work was a Haven room (Escape).

Poorly worded question on my part.  You are right.

Just so long as the floor is not lava.  Sorry I couldn't help myself.
