Rare CynCyn Posted April 24, 2018 #51 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This is a huge problem on Disney. They also remove the "breakfast order" hang tags' date=' so people blame room service for not delivering.We've never had an issue on Princess, but we typically cruise "off season" so have relatively few kids on our sailings. As to removing items from pool loungers--that's not theft. You don't keep the items, you move them to a nearby location that isn't used by passengers or turn them in at lost and found. They've obviously been misplaced when they've been sitting on a lounger for 30 minutes![/quote'] Have one better, or worse depending on how you look at it. I was at an Omni. My neighbors stole my orange juice 2days in a row with the ‘knock and leave’ service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 24, 2018 #52 Share Posted April 24, 2018 No need for bolts. Just use magnets that look like bolt heads. :D (I actually have a supply of magnets I tore out of old hard drives. I'd like to see someone try to pull them off the door with their fingers. You would have to have a tool to pry the things loose.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted April 24, 2018 #53 Share Posted April 24, 2018 New item debuts in Princess Gift Shop: Cabin Door Decorator's Essentials Kit Includes portable drill, nuts, bolts and washers. Because you know what they say.... unless it's bolted down.... I love it :D Can I get a kit using my OBC? Seriously my cousin’s Bruins signs were stolen from her cabin door one year.

Renmar Posted April 24, 2018 #54 Share Posted April 24, 2018 What am I missing here? Just wondering why people would have their memorabilia pasted to the outside of their cabin door. Paste it to the inside, problem solved and you can look at it every time you leave your cabin. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted April 24, 2018 #55 Share Posted April 24, 2018 My husband always says, "if they had to steal it, they must have needed it more than me". Apparently that was the case with your elderly lady on the scooter. But I wonder if someone stole it and gave it to her? Would have been interesting to hear her comment, if you had asked her where she got it from? I agree. All the OP had to say was "Oh what a cute Santa, I want to get one, where did you get it?" It doesn't matter how much it costs, it doesn't belong to the person who stole it. I call that being entitled to other people's property, which is wrong. Speaking for myself, I couldn't enjoy something that I stole, I got to look at the thing and remind myself that it didn't belong to me. I guess I'm a bird with different feathers.

H2Osign Posted April 24, 2018 #56 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Here I thought it was me. I had a small Magnetic clip board, maybe 3”, affixed to the “mailbox” on the side wall — not easy to spot. It disappeared along with the pen. Then one Valentine heart disappeared; however, this one I had wrote “you stole this” on the back! I also had my coffee mug disappear from the dining room. I walked out without it and when I went back for it it was gone. It was badly stained but it did say “Princess” on it, but it was a Disney Princess not the cruise line. No matter it still was taken.

caribill Posted April 24, 2018 #58 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Given all the "privacy freakouts" people are having about the Medallion I can only imagine how much they would freak out it Princess had cameras that could "record me going in and out of my cabin" or some other hysterical reaction. When it finally gets working, there will be a record of each time your ***** went into or out of your cabin. And with the report of ***** sensors being installed on balconies, a record of each time your ***** went out to or in from the balcony. Ditto your cabin bathroom.

paintlady Posted April 24, 2018 #61 Share Posted April 24, 2018 When I noticed the title of this thread, I was concerned that it would be addressing theft of valuable articles such as jewelry, cameras,cash etc.My concern lessened when I read the posts about removal of door decorations. Hoping the theft activity does not escalate from inexpensive and replaceable decorations to more valuable articles. Have you seen my iPencil? This is the second one that’s disappeared OUT of my carry-on while still on the ship! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my husband gets a dirty look from me, every time he makes that comment, "I guess they needed it more than me". I like your style of question. I take the same approach when someone is sitting in my seat at an assigned venue. Instead of bothering an attendant, I simply say, "Thank you for warming my seat for me". Normally gets a chuckle and I've only had one person ever say anything negative back to me. They thought that they were in the right seat and even when I told them that they were sitting in my season ticket holder seat, they still called over an attendant. Needless to say, the attendant had them move from MY seat! They were not happy, as my seat location was much, much better than theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recyclelady Posted April 24, 2018 #68 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I had my Princess luggage strap (the ones they used to award as trivia prizes) taken from my bag on the last night. I still have Princess luggage tags and straps from that era of trivia prizes--I use them whenever I am NOT on a Princess ship! Door deco--I don't put anything that I particularly like on my door. I do have a really ugly round magnet from my last government job that I put on my door. I put it there to find my way to my room and also for leaving notes under. NO ONE wants it! It is always with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcyclemomma Posted April 24, 2018 #69 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Had my coffee card stolen at the international cafe. Really made me mad but the servers recognized me so they served my coffee.

Thrak Posted April 24, 2018 #70 Share Posted April 24, 2018 When it finally gets working, there will be a record of each time your ***** went into or out of your cabin. And with the report of ***** sensors being installed on balconies, a record of each time your ***** went out to or in from the balcony. Ditto your cabin bathroom. I sincerely doubt there is a differentiation between "in the cabin somewhere" and "in the bathroom" or "on the balcony". I have no problem with the steward knowing I'm in my cabin. I'd rather the steward didn't come in when I didn't answer the knock on the door because I'm in the shower, on the toilet, or out on the balcony.

On the flip side of this, it should help prevent people from going over undetected if they keep the ***** on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go-Bucks! Posted April 24, 2018 #73 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The adults are as bad as the kids when it comes to disrespect of other's property. It starts with their not having values and then it's learned by the offspring. Very true! Those raised with morals and values that there is right and wrong....and that stealing and lying are wrong....will pass those along to the next generation by word and example. And, sadly, the opposite is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
