Күн бұрын

Are you going on a cruise and wondering about cruise cabin door decorations? Decorating your cruise cabin on a cruise is popular with cruisers. However, there are some rules and things you should now if you plan on decorating your cruise cabin door.
In this video I go over the do's and don'ts of this popular cruise activity, and share photos of cruise cabin door decorations from real cruisers. In particular, decorating a cabin door is popular on Disney and Carnival cruises. Cruise passengers will also decorate cabins on other cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and more. If you are celebrating an anniversary or special occasion, or cruising over the holidays, this can be a fun activity for cruisers! Thanks to all who shared photos!

I laughed when you talked about all the hallways & doors looking the same. On our South Pacific cruise from Hawaii to Australia I decorated My sister & brother-in-law's cabin door for their anniversary. Got up early in the morning on the day, quietly decorated, took a picture & started back to my cabin on another floor. That's when I realized I was on the wrong floor!!! So, went back, quietly undecorated the door, went to the correct floor & started over again. We did have a very good laugh over that mistake!

I went on a Norwegian cruise back in April. People are definitely decorating their cabin doors and I didn't see any enforcement. That being said, I think the official rule is still that you CANNOT decorate your door. So if you're going on a Norwegian cruise, decorate your door at your own risk, and don't give the room steward a hard time if they ask you to take it down.

Last Christmas (2021) we went on a Celebrity cruise for our 50th anniversary. The cabin attendant had a poster on our door that said Happy 50th Anniversary Don and Pat. Then we added some decorations we had brought from home. It was so sweet and thoughtful. Not too many doors were decorated, mostly wedding Anniversary. It was really nice.

@linda319 Жыл бұрын

California Linda shares that once a cruise is booked the next two details are paramount- booking the kennel for our furry girls and planning the door design. For newbies- less is best, but have fun - Hobby Lobby sales 12 inch by 12 inch magnetic sheets which fit neatly on the cabin door. Use a scrapbook sheet of paper for inspiration and go with the creative flow. The scrapbook sheet can be lightly glue gunned to the nonmagnetic side (and pulled off later to reuse) awaiting the finishing touches. Be creative and have fun. After a touch-up of cabin cleaning I begin the finishing touches of the door design. For New Year's I always use a black and gold themed paper, letters to spell out Happy New Year's and two small plastic flutes trimmed with ribbon and tule. 🥂 For Christmas the paper design is red and white striped with a 3 dimensional honeycomb folding tree and the fun begins with glue sticks, glue gun and the remaining decorations. On international itineraries I have a Christmas tree pop-up card as our tree and battery blinking lights for making the room festive. On domestic flights I bring a minature tree, battery tree lights, ornaments and several very small wrapped boxes for visual effect. 🎄🎁 On a longer cruise the paper of choice is a regional map to which I have listed the ports of call. Have fun anticipating your cruise. ⚓️ Sadly we did have some stickers taken from a cruise door display when the decor was kid friendly and tempting. Glad to know you're stilling embracing the fun. Next step ... make your interior magnetic cabin walls just as special.

Love decorating our door and looking at all the other decorated doors! Recently on Christmas cruise, one family had huge chart with headings "Naughty/Nice" for guests to sign. There were so many names on that chart. Also like the charts where people ask where are you from, etc.!Door decorating has several purposes of course but one of them is building sense of community!

We went on a Christmas cruise on Navigator of the Seas in 2018. We wrapped the door in wrapping paper and ribbon and made it look like a big present. We also used stringed Christmas lights that were on a closed battery circuit. It was really well received by staff and other cruisers.

We have decorated our cabin doors on our past 3 cruises. We have gone with several couples and we included a small white board to leave each other messages. We usually get magnets made that have our names and the name of the ship. Two of the trips were for my birthday and it was nice seeing all the different birthday messages from complete strangers. Our next cruise is in April on Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas and we are taking our niece for her 21st birthday. I have already ordered her own white board and I’m looking to get some personalized magnets for her door of tropical drinks with her name on them and flamingos 🦩, she loves flamingos! I am actually putting together a whole cruise essential bag ( filled with items you recommend, including the Ultimate Cruise Planner), it’s her first cruise.

Hi Iana, I found your you tube channel and love it. Thank you for all your wonderful tips about cruising--- they have really come in handy. This June (2022) we took the family on a Royal Caribbean " Harmony of the Seas" cruise. I told our adult kids they were only coming because of the grandkids.😊 As excited as everyone was to learn of our going on a cruise, I sensed that the grandkids ( ages 10 &12) were a little apprensive of getting lost on such a big ship. Your ideas of decorating the cabin door came to mind. Since I don't have a creative gene in my entire body, I researched companies that makes cabin door decorations & I came across " Cabin Cruise Wear"--- who knew they made door decorations. I ordered a personalized banner for the grandkids room. I have to say, it was great. The company was easy to work with too. ( BTW, I have no relationship with them, just happy to recommend them because my experience was so pleasant). On the 1st day, when the kids were at the pool, my husband hung it on there door. They were so excited when they saw it & it eased their worries of finding the right cabin. Since our room was on another floor, I went on Amazon & ordered a small personalized "Grandmom & Pop Pop's Cruise Cabin" sign from Blackwater Trading-- this way, they wouldn't get lost when they visited us. I can't say that there many cabins decorated on our Royal Carribean cruise ship but again my purpose was to take away any concerns the grandkids had & it was a fun and colorful way to do it. Thanks Ileana for the tip it worked!!! Ps. We found the small magnetic clips you recommended worked better than the Command Strips to hang the banner & sign.

We took our first cruise in 1976. We brought Christmas decorations since it was Xmas cruise. Easy pack hanging items, door knob sign, lights, garland, and small light up Christmas trees for each cabin. In addition we had table decorations, gifts for room steward, dining staff, gifts for guest at dining table. Of extras if people we wanted to thank. Only thing missing was a having a large to sit around and sing Christmas songs. We borrowed from the lobby for couple of hours. We started pool even the nets were over the pool. You could sit on edge dangled legs and feet in the water. We thought got away with some antics. The next day the cruise directors teased us. Especially with the disappearing tree to reappeared tree that was diffidently titling. Staff were wondering about who took it, and one who do know who likely took. I have perpetual gold “Giving Tree”. So for any birthdays we use too or Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. it stands over 5 feet, has lights, and folds flat on Amazon. Different colors. Obviously nowadays you find lots of stuff. As a teacher who couldn’t use adhesives , there are many ways to decorate rooms and doors without adhesives. Thank god for command hooks or other related products other. Push pins is iffy because leave a hole so you use them only in ways the hole pin couldn’t be seen. The cruise line has their room decorations packages that can be bought and they have when you go into your stateroom. They have used pins. But think I people can come up with better decor items and a lot cheaper or reusable.

Interesting about NCL decoration ban - In Feb 2020 we put butterflies on our door on Escape (so we could easily find our cabin) and saw a few other doors decorated without issues. There weren't many but still saw maybe 10 with things on them. Dry erase boards were probably the most common items.

Thank you for all the info you provide on your channel. I am going on a cruise with a friend and a group of 5 other couples. I am so excited, I want to make it a super special and memorable experience. I have been thinking about the door decorations and I am so grateful you mentioned about the pineapple decor. That is not the experience I am going for.

A group of ladies from church did a cruise this year. We had a door decorating contest judged by a couple we met on the trip. Such fun!

Our cruise last summer on the Norwegian Prima had a few doors decorated. We plan to do it next week on our Mediterranean cruise on the Viva.

Hi Illana, great video! I have never decorated my door but this has peeked my interest to do so as my next cruise is for my birthday in 2023🚢😊

My husband and I decorated for the first time last cruise and it was very nice. I had 2 scrolls that said let the adventure begin that I bought off of Amazon. This cruise I bought a personalized plaque with my sister's names and mine so I don't worry about someone taking it.

I love this video! We'll be on the HAL Volendam in July for our 25th anniversary and although I don't know if it's allowed on our ship, I've gotten some great ideas!

I will be decorating our door on our Christmas cruise. combo of holiday and beach themed. I tried to decorate in May on our Alaska cruise but found my magnets weren't strong enough. I will be prepared in December. Can't wait!!! 107 days yippee

I’ll be going on my first cruise in just 2 weeks. March 2023. I will be on Carnival’s Mardi Gras, so I’ll be decorating my door with that theme. I’m so excited to hang out with my sister on a cruise.

This will be our 3rd Disney cruise and we decorated our door the 1st 2 times, so, yes we'll likely do it again. 👍

Can they be three dimensional on Disney, like a wreath, or do they have to be flat magnets?

Just ordered personalized magnets from Vistaprint. You just order the car magnets, many different sizes, very customizable. You can even put your own photo backgrounds, or there's many different pre-loaded designs. Not too expensive either.

I've seen the doors decorated on all of my NCL cruises. I even saw a steward putting some decorations back on the door when it fell.

Keeping it simple, I’m going to put two decorated, plastic, flat margarita glasses with our names on them for a March cruise to the Bahamas! Fun!

We cruised with my parents and the grandkids back in July. I surprised them by decorating their door using my Cricut (you pronounced it correctly). Decorations really help to find your cabin door!
