minniem Posted September 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Does anyone know if the doors on Emerald Princess are magnetic? I thought all ships have magnetic doors and walls but someone told me there are some ships that have non magnetic doors. I want to bring magnets but I won't bother if I can't use them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks They are not magnetic they are metal. Magnets will stick. Interior walls too. Edited September 14, 2015 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted September 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2015 They are not magnetic they are metal. Magnets will stick. Interior walls too. LOL. That might be a problem if the doors kept sucking the keys out of your pocket as you walk by. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted September 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2015 They are not magnetic they are metal. Magnets will stick. Interior walls too. Per above, because the doors/walls are metal, magnets will stick to them. :eek: Keep your "cruise card" away from anything magnetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted September 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Or erasing door keys. Ah, that's the problem........ Passenger: "My door key keeps getting its magnetic strip erased." Service desk personnel: "We advise that you keep your door key away from the door." :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The door is NOT magnetic ... something else was what the card contacted. There are sneaky little tiny magnets in many things. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minniem Posted September 15, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks everyone. Glad to hear they are metal so my magnets will stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crochetcruise Posted September 15, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Per above, because the doors/walls are metal, magnets will stick to them. :eek: Keep your "cruise card" away from anything magnetic! THANK YOU! For alerting me to that possibility, I didn't think of it myself. So I'd better get myself an RFID blocking wallet to keep my cards in, and keep it in my walker basket, the "Cruise Card" and lanyard can be tucked inside the wallet for safety. My local Motoring Organisation Office and Shop Outlet has them, and I need to get a 2 prong US/AUS adaptor plug, and a First Aid Kit, oh and 2-packs of RFID cards to protect bank cards from scammers. Priority-wise, I think: -2 packs of RFID cards (to get me used to using them automatically) -Adaptor plug -First Aid Kit -RFID Wallet to hold all Cruise paperwork.

RMM34667 Posted September 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Learned about the dangers of magnets and door keys after buying some cool magnetic jewelry on some island. Had fun playing with it all the way back to the ship. Then couldn't get into my cabin! Love the stuff but now it hangs over my mirror far from anything that could get wiped clean!

Rare Kinkacruiser Posted September 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's important to keep your cruise card (magnetic strip) away from any battery operated device or the "door key" won't wok . The purser will replace a faulty card. Also don't pack the magnets (for you cabin wall hangings) close to electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted September 16, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's like asking if a rattlesnake is poisonous. Nope. I've eaten several of them with no ill effects. However, they are venomous. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrib Posted September 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've erased my key card many times until I found the culprit. My small evening bag has a magnetic clasp and I was popping my card in the purse each night heading out do dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
