roberooski Posted July 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Ok, so I read the thread about cabin 7412 on the Glory (sideways cabin) and this was so casually mentioned..... ...."Here you can see the hallway door on the right side of the photo. The large blank wall in this photo became our hat rack using magnetic clips that I took along (the walls are metal.) Although not in the photo, the bathroom was located behind that wall with the door opening up towards the closets." https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1...o/IMG_0354.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-B...o/IMG_0355.JPG Can we talk about how GENIUS this is?!?! I have never even thought of this...I'm going on the Fascination with 2 teenage girls and their wet bikinis during Labor Day weekend. I am IN LOVE with this idea. So my question is....do I remember correctly that most of the walls on the Carnival ships are like this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingwithfriends Posted July 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I don't believe every ship has walls that are metal. On the Dream, they were. On the Sunshine, they were not. However, the door entering our cabin was. We used magnets to hang all the important papers. I guess I would take magnets just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were metal on Conquest cuz I brought magnets to hold notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8DanesMom Posted July 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2015 This is a brilliant idea! I'm a mom to 3 teen girls, so any space saving organizational suggestions are a huge help. Thankfully they will have their own cabin so their mess won't be in my way. LOL Does anyone know if the Magic has metal walls so I can use this idea too? Have fun on your cruise!!!!! - Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandi422 Posted July 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2015 How about the walls on the Liberty? Metal for magnets or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2015 You're going to put hooks on the wall and hang dripping suits there? Won't that soak the carpet? Just hang wet swimsuits on the string in the shower! I've sailed with 3 females on Fantasy (once with 2 teens, once with 2 friends) and we didn't have any problem with space. Yeah, it was tight in the bathroom with us all getting ready for dinner, but we managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic?, Wood?, Fiberglass? I'm intrigued what the walls on the Sunshine are made of, never been on that ship.

I guess I got carried away thinking this was a brilliant idea and my first thought was the bikinis! LOL! Yeah, dripping might be a problem! I'm not worried about space, honestly, I just thought it was cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted July 15, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 15, 2015 And if I could hang extra things on the walls, that would just encourage me to overpack (even more). I'm striving to pack less and less but I've been slipping lately. I'll blame SW for no baggage fees and myself for the times I drive to port. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewaterlovers Posted July 15, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 15, 2015 An over the door shoe rack was a wonderful help our last cruise, kept all the small items in order and organized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone isn't. They think it's about space. :rolleyes: Not for me, like you said if about being organized. Great for those small items, and I don't unpack every pocket from trip to trip. Some things stay, ready for the next trip/cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewaterlovers Posted July 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I don't unpack small items between trips either! Makes it easier not to forget items. I hang it on the bathroom door so that when it's shut, the items are inside the bathroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabaster Cruiser Posted July 15, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 15, 2015 We've always used Command strip hangers and have never had a problem with any kind of wall. Great for hats, Madi Gras beads, paperwork, sunglasses, etc. We have even hung almost dry wetsuits on the larger hooks. We have never damaged a wall and would not travel with out them.

cb at sea Posted July 15, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I am fascinated as to how many people don't "dry off" before heading back to their cabins! Totally fascinating! I take a dip, rinse off..and sit in the sun until my suit is only damp, at best! So many freak out about "wet suits"...we've never had that problem!

NoDayButToday Posted July 16, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I'm staying in one of the sideways rooms on the Conquest next February and just ordered some (strong) magnet hooks to put on that wall. When we had a balcony room we would never sit on the couch...but my husband would fold up his jeans and other assorted clothing items and put them there. I figure these will keep those clothing items off the floor and both me and the cabin steward a little happier, lol.

I take a dip, rinse off..and sit in the sun until my suit is only damp, at best! So many freak out about "wet suits"...we've never had that problem! I laughed at this....so true, but then when I get back to the cabin I rinse out the suit because I figure it either has chlorine or salt water sitting in it! But rather than have it drip all over and never dry off (especially in inside cabins) I roll it up in a towel for a few minutes to take out all the excess moisture. Works like a charm and then I hang it either on the clothesline string in the shower or on a towel bar. I don't bring hooks, but Wacky Tack is a wonderful way to hang up important papers and schedules on the wall and then just pull it down with no lasting effects on the walls. And if you could have seen the activity/dining/excursion spreadsheet I had on my last cruise, you'd get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvercrikhix Posted July 16, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) We always travel with a few of the larger suction cup hooks, works great on any solid surface. They come in many sizes too. A few plastic clothes pins are also in our travel kit. Used many times. Edited July 16, 2015 by silvercrikhix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we travel on land vacations, we stay in timeshares and have plenty of room and dont use the over the door hangers. I only use them for cruising. I have four cruises booked and will keep some things in the pockets beginning wih my September DCL cruise. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted July 16, 2015 #25 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have a magnetic night light and have found few metal surfaces other than door frames in any ship, never a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
