Rare cruisestitch Posted September 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The walls are metal so all kinds of magnetic devices will stick to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted September 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I also "file" my paperwork on the wall with magnets. Saves limited desk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted September 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I bought some at Home Depot. One of the best things to bring. Be sure to check how much weight they will hold and what you plan on using them for. These would slowly slide down the wall with several gowns hanging on them. The gowns did not weigh 20 pounds either. They are good for several shirts. http://www.homedepot.com/p/MASTER-MAGNETICS-Handi-Hook-20-lb-Magnetic-Pull-Hook-07218HD/202639937 These will hold several gowns with no problems. http://www.homedepot.com/p/MASTER-MAGNETICS-65-lb-Magnetic-Pull-Hook-07580HD/202639939 These look good also but they didn't have them when I looked. http://www.homedepot.com/p/MASTER-MAGNETICS-45-lb-3-4-in-Carabiner-Hook-07587HD/202639935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChucktownSteve Posted September 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I use what's called bulldog clips that I bought at an office supply store. I use different ones for different things like the dailies, invitations, notes for DW, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaB Posted September 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I just throw all that paperwork and 95% of the daily away in the trash can, 5 minutes after I get it. I can't stand all that stuff! I tear out the schedule part and fold it and that's all we keep. We always have a small folder for the cruise and anything that must be kept (elite coupons, excursion info, etc.) is in that in one of the drawers. Out of sight! If for some reason a daily has something we want to keep (for that day) we put it in the folder for the day, but as soon as we're getting ready to sail it goes in the trash too. On our first cruise I kept the dailies. Yep, I did. After about 1 month at home I looked at them and laughed at myself and put them in file 13. I can't stand clutter. Honestly hanging things on the wall? Haven't even seen need for that. Notes to each other on rare occasion we do that? ---> Outside the door where they put everything else. One day texting to each other on the ship will be free. Can't wait for that! What I really wish Celebrity would stop is all those reminders and cancellations for your specialty dinners and the invitations they let the contractors (art, jewelry, spa) put in your mail. I take one look and see what it's from and in the trash it goes in about two seconds. I am going to ask them to NOT bring them to me because it's such a waste of paper. I have yet to meet a single person who opened one and thought "Ooooh, I must remember to go see the chocolate diamond reveal." The Michael's Club concierge also does the same thing - all these invitations in envelopes, several times a day even --- wish they could just put one 4 x 6 card with all of them in our cabin and that's it. I guess my trash is another person's treasure, but honestly I just can't stand all that paper so I don't keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twins_to_alaska Posted September 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2016 We hung some papers on the wall - the magnets I got were too strong for my sister to move! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012E5QWXM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also used stick it notes to remind us of things/events and to communicate with butler and room steward.

Honestly, I don't hang papers on the wall either, but those magnets do come in handy for long clothing that doesn't fit in the closet when traveling in a regular sized cabin.

phoenix_dream Posted September 14, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think the hooks are great and always bring them. We buy them at Walmart. One thing we use them for is hanging wet clothes like bathing suits. You are not supposed to hang them anywhere on your balcony, and it is a pain to fight for space with them in the bathroom, so hooks are a great solution. We also hang our visors and ball caps on them. I am very clutter averse (I'll bet the room stewards love us!) but to me a few items hanging on the wall does not constitute clutter.

Karynanne Posted September 14, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I just ordered some through Amazon. Thank you OP for reminding me that I needed to do this. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakes5 Posted September 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 15, 2016 We also brought a few of these magnets. The picture is of 2 magnets stuck together. We actually got them at Hobby Lobby, and with their 40% coupon, they are only $3 a pair. The cabin walls and ceilings are metal, and these magnets are strong enough to actually hang things from the ceiling. We were able to put a wet t-shirt on a wooden hanger, and hang both from the ceiling to dry. We also used them to hang up our swimsuits on the wall, We now take these with us on every cruise!

royalcruz Posted September 15, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I bought some 14 lb hooks on Amazon and they were useless; they just slid down the wall if I put a silk robe on them. The Home Depot ones look much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
