Sandra Smudger Posted October 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Has anyone ever used over the door hangers for extra hanging space on QM2? I'd like to get some but all the ads mention door thickness and I haven't got a clue how thick the bathroom or wardrobe doors are on QM2. And, does anyone use magnetic hooks on the walls?

robbie_3 Posted October 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2017 From memory the top of the bathroom door is pretty snug I think with a metal edge so I doubt that would work, the wardrobe doors are also quite thin and made of soft wood for such hangers and would mark I think quite easily when any pressure of hanging is placed on the front of the U shape design. Perhaps double hanging is the pragmatic solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Smudger Posted October 30, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thanks for your good advice. Still thinking about magnetic hooks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlyn Posted November 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Magnetic hooks do work. I've also seen photo's of people fixing a line between 2 in order to hang more but I would think they'd need to be very strong to do that. Have you considered suction hooks? They might work too.

Sandra Smudger Posted November 1, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks Wenlyn. I have a suction hook but they only work on a glazed surface such as tiles etc. I've got one which easily holds a coat but as it only works in the bathroom I use it for holding shower gel.

Host Hattie Posted November 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2017 World Cruiser Maggiemou has mentioned having the wooden hangers removed as more wire hangers can be fitted into the same space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Smudger Posted November 1, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yes I've read Maggiemou's book thanks which contains some good advice. Always take away the wooden hangers as they take up so much space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant1151 Posted November 1, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The problem on QM2 is although you can remove the wooden hangers, you cannot the plastic bits at the top as the rail does not come out as on QV and QE. Wire hangers work well to increase the hanging capacity. I take a over door hook with 5 slots which is great for drying non tumble dry items or preparing clothes for dinner.

Sandra Smudger Posted November 1, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks Elephant 1151 what type of over the door hook do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addo Posted November 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Wilko Over Door Hanger 3in1 - 0300176 £3 I also use their copper hangers 10 for £3 as they are lightweight and better than wire hangers, with dry cleaning quality bags from ebay and pack all my evening and cocktail dresses on the hangers covered, to eliminate creasing whilst packed. We are sending some luggage to the ship by courier so clothes will be packed for 5 days. On leaving the ship if we cannot store onboard we will be leaving 2 - 3 cases in self storage in Southampton as we are returning for the Round South America cruise 3 weeks later.
