regnig Posted February 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If applied and removed according to the directions do 3M Command Hooks really not hurt the wall surfaces in HAL staterooms? I'd love to take some on our next cruise and I've read several regular CC posters stating they use them but I want to be certain I will not cause any damage. I'd love to hear from actual users. Thanks in advance! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonialinnkeeper Posted February 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We used two over the holidays to hold a Christmas decoration. When my DH took it down, some wall paint came with it. I don't know about the surface of the walls on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRACECRUISE Posted February 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We have used them about a half a dozen times and have never has any trouble taking them down. They always came down clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted February 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2016 You really have to stretch them when removing them in order to get them off cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnjrockette Posted February 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2016 You really have to stretch them when removing them in order to get them off cleanly. Used them on our cruise last month! Love them... especially since the metal hooks that HAL puts up are way to high for me! Just be sure to stretch them out completely when you go to remove them. They came off easily without any mark or sign that they'd been up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahlah57 Posted February 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Used mine on the inside of the bathroom door and worked like a dream! Did not have any damage whatsoever! Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrewser Posted February 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've never been happy with those. WE used magnetic hooks on our last crise (they stick to the walls) and they worked a charm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted February 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Others have recommended putting the 3M hooks on the mirror surface if you don't need that full view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted February 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We have used 3M Command strips numerous times on ships and it came off easily and cleanly. I just picked up some for our Nieuw Amsterdam cruise starting this Sunday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topsham Posted February 6, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hmmmm. How about this one. If you invited a guest into your home.... and they stuck 3M hooks on the walls in your bedroom.... would you be happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have never taken them and don't intend to take any. I don't want to take the chance of ruining anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our balcony stateroom on the Zuiderdam last month did NOT have metal walls... magnets did not stick -- glad I had 3m's---working perfectly.

pbnjrockette Posted February 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have never taken them and don't intend to take any. I don't want to take the chance of ruining anything. Have used them dozens of times on trips--NEVER had a problem with them. Pull the tape STRAIGHT DOWN and they come off in seconds---no damage.

TheCalicoCat Posted February 6, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Aside from those who are not tall enough to use the regular hooks, what do you use them for? I've never thought, "Gee I could use a hook over there." (I do use magnets to hold papers/excursion tickets to the cabin walls instead of as a mess on the tables.)

DH used the high metal hooks for his clothes (especially at night) I put up hooks closer to the desk and hung my hat and exercise clothes. Could I have lived without them? sure... but they made life a bit easier! I missed the magnets to hold papers---wonder if 3m makes a CLIP as well as hooks??

Randyk47 Posted February 6, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have never taken them and don't intend to take any. I don't want to take the chance of ruining anything. Same here. I guess I do understand the utility of them for some passengers in some cabins but, no offense, the idea of stuff hanging off the cabin walls doesn't work for me.

Completely agree with you, but both our guest room closet & our bedroom closet is full.. We have over the door hooks which has three hooks on it for hangars, that I put in both our guest room & our own bedroom.. I protect the doors with a clear sheet of plastic which works very well.. I take one of the plastic ones with us when we cruise & can usually find a place to use it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topsham Posted February 6, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Oh stop it.....they cause no damage......sheesh! Is it your property? Don't stuck anything on it. Simple. Sheesh! I heard people sticking all kinds of things in cabins. They leave residue of glue. Even blue tack.... leaves residue. It is not your property.

regnig Posted February 6, 2016 Author #22 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Oh stop it.....they cause no damage......sheesh! Thanks for jumping in here as after the last few posts I'd begun to worry about creating a controversy :o without even offering to serve Pop-Corn. :eek::rolleyes: The issue wasn't what I might need them for or whether I'd like guests in my own home using them or if they fell within the bounds of someone else's view of good etiquette, it was simply would they "really not hurt the wall surfaces in HAL staterooms" as "I want to be certain I will not cause any damage." Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topsham I'm gathering by this that you have used them in a HAL stateroom and upon removal they left damage. :confused:?????:confused: I've used them on several different surfaces at home without problem but wasn't certain of HAL stateroom walls.

lahlah57 Posted February 6, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Some people don't follow directions and you could pull paint off. But it is simple instruction on how to remove if you know how to look at the little pictures and read. I repeat......grat stuff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
