Rare vacationlover_mn Posted February 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Any recommendations on where to get fun cruising related magnets?

ONECRUISER Posted February 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Lot of people have then custom made, names, pictures. Just make sure no one uses those colored jello type ones, many cabin doors are permanently stained with orange Halloween and Red Xmas designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzk2275a Posted February 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2019 There are some on Etsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chee7 Posted February 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I make my own. Go to Walmart, Office Deport, teacher stores or a office supply place and look for magnet labels or sheets. Pick out pictures, sayings any thing that you find appropriate and print out using print programs or office programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghoundlvr Posted February 18, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I should have read the post about the "jello type" cling door decorations leaving stains BEFORE we cruised at Xmas. I just about had a panic attack when removing them from the door and finding the stain. I then analyzed the situation, pulled out the toothpaste from the toiletry kit and polished the stain off the door. Couldn't tell and it smelled minty fresh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooma Posted February 18, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Do people steal door magnet decorations off others' doors? Curious if worth it ..... Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juju2454 Posted February 18, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I had them on our door on a xmas NYE cruise and never had any taken with over 600 children on the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Yes. I had 3 on mine on my door the first day of my cruise, and the first time I returned to my room, one of them was gone. Don't put anything out that you care about much (I had a duplicate at home, so I was more annoyed than anything). There were VERY few children on this cruise - I'm sure an adult (with the mind of a child) did it.

ShillyShally Posted February 18, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I got some really cute ones personalized on Etsy - I used to love making them but now that we don't have a printer in the house that works. I've also had great success with zazzle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx It seems that personalized magnets remain on the door where as non personalized go missing more often(in my case) I always do minions. Usually with an alcoholic beverage in their hands. Sometimes they wander off in the middle of the night! No biggy. I just make more. Etsy does have a nice selection of personalized ship magnets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tall Posted February 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Had mine stolen off of the door the last night on a cruise out of Venice. I should have known it was coming since somebody was moving them around all through the cruise. I just had to get over it and realize that's always a risk. I think I found mine on some specialty site but I can't remember where... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted February 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 18, 2019 My wife also uses Etsy. We had some taken on our last cruise. She was ready to call security but I told her to walk down the hall before she called. She found them a few doors down. Kids are gonna' kid. As a former cop I loathed the idea of reporting a couple of door magnets to security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Yes, on occasion. Don't know for sure but hopefully it is just kids begin mischievous, as we have found our magnet on someone else's door. I suspect if anyone really wanted it ( and I can't imagine why) they would keep it in their cabin and not display a stolen magnet on their cabin door. We see some cute magnets/decorations around most any holiday. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigstoy Posted February 18, 2019 #19 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I make personalized ones with the names of the people cruising with us and the date. I figure they are less likely to be stolen. I design and then order them on VistaPrint. Friends and family traveling with us have always enjoyed them. I think it is $10 or $15 for ten magnets that are 4x6".

Rare island lady Posted February 18, 2019 #20 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I like to pick up the little wooden/plastic fish with the name of the port/island/country painted on them. I put out one magnet fish per day on our door. By the time the seventh fish goes out during a seven night cruise...he is the sad fish. 😉 We have had the fish swim around on their own, but so far so good....not totally stolen. Just had to collect them if they swam too far up the hallway. 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted February 18, 2019 #22 Share Posted February 18, 2019 You can also go to Michael's or Hobby Lobby and buy stickers...lots of cute tropical and cruise ones, then stick them to a sheet or roll of the flat magnets, also there, and cut them out. I love those stickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really easy to make just cut out minions from greeting cards or kids books, buy the flat magnetic self stick roll from the craft store, press the minions down, cut them out, do the same for the drink or whatever you want to stick in their hands and off to the door they go! cute and cheap to make.
