Balcony Banners

[Ted W]

Last cruise I was on in Dec 2010 on Spirit,some people hung large flags from their balconies while in port. Is there any issues with doing this?

 

I want to hang my big pirate flag off the side.......sounds stupid,I know

as long as its not offensive or blocking anyone else's balcony or anything important to the ship you should be good to go.

I was on the Spirit 1/27/11 and i put up a small 1x2 Polish flag on my balcony, just for a laugh, and to see my cabin from shore. When i got back to the ship from PV, the flag was gone,......it was on my bed when I got back onboard. No biggie. Someone DID steal my door plaque. Another no biggie. It goes with CCL, "The Fun Ships" Going again on 3/16, same-o, same-o.

Sometimes they will be cleaning balconies while in port. Maybe that is why they removed your flag.

When we were on the Glory the came in and took everything off our balcony one day in port (books, towels on the chairs, swimming suits that were drying) and put them all inside. They were washing balconies and everything that stayed out got doused....

On my last cruise, our room steward told us that Carnival has begun a new policy...and if he saw anything left on our balcony when he came in to clean the room, he would have to remove the items from the balcony and bring them inside.

fire hazard.

Okay, I'll say what others may be thinking. What is the purpose of banners? Are we supposed to stand up and cheer?

that was quite a while ago

 

It really is a safety issue for flags. etc to be hung out.

(even while in port they will be removed)

I hang an American flag and an Irish flag on my balcony, but I always have an aft-wrap, so it's not hanging off the balcony itself. I hang them on the wall.

I can't imagine anything more tacky.

It looks tacky to me. So what if you are from a certain country? we are all paying cruisers with one goal, to have a good time, not hang out flags.

[maldenmusic]

I can't imagine anything more tacky.

Maybe decorating your cabin door.....which I am guilty of doing in the past:rolleyes:

I can! Say, raining on someone else's parade?

We have a large Canadian flag that we hang on our balcony .. we also decorate our cabin door.. funny thing is.. that people loved the falg .. they were able to find there cabins from the flag.. we are doing it again on the Breeze but we jsut have to figure out how to attach it to the balcony.. there is no glass to suction cup the hooks too..

LIKE!

 

It seems more and more every week these threads are being posted to by folks who just want to "rain on someone's parade" just because they can! :mad:

+1!

 

What's the harm in proudly flying your colors for the fun of it? I think it'd be neat to be able to spot our room from port.

 

Now, if Carnival says it's a no-no, that's another story.

[RuthlessBoss]

I guess it should be a requirement to have a flag dangling off EVERY balcony. Then we can call it a ....FLAGSHIP:D

first flags, then, the wash.

Actually, after posting my last message, I thought that would be really cool. Can you imagine a ship, pulled into port, with dozens (hundreds?) of different flags flying for all of the countries or states represented on board?

[Potstech]

I can't imagine anything more tacky.

 

And many think it is a great idea. so who wins?????

I'm trying not to. I agree with it being tacky.

I personally wouldn't do it, I think it's tacky, but regardless of my opinion, as long as there is no rule against it, I would never try to interfere with your choice to do as you please, regardless of my opinion.

As you are coming back after a fantastic day in port would you really pay any attention to someones balcony and if they have a banner or flag hanging off of it and then say to your cruise mate...."oh my, that is so tacky" ? :rolleyes:

 

I couldnt care one way or another. But really it doesnt matter as another poster stated, they power wash the sides and balconies in many ports so they would be removed regardless.
