Need suggestions for decorating door to room on ship in Alaska

[thecoop]

Wife and I will be going in May to Alaska and want to make our room decorated. We have already purchased magnetic paper that we can run through our printer and stick it to the cabin door. Just want a few "tasteful" suggestions for what to put on it. Thanks in advance.

How about a moose? Or a bear? Or a salmon going up stream?

why would you want to decorate a door?

If you are stumbling down the hall and you can't see the numbers you'll be able to spot your cabin because it'll be decorated.

It gives the other passengers something to talk about as they walk by.

We decorated our door on the disney cruise and this was a must kids found the room more easily.Well us also.We made a magnetic 9x12 poster.Will be on Princess Star 4/07 and will do the same if the doors are metal:)

I made a sign that said YOU ARE HERE. It is red with a big white X. Everyone always gets a kick out of it. If you need one. email me at zippimom@earthlink.net and I'll send you one.

Thanks for asking exactly what I was thinking. I've never seen or heard of this.

Cruiselines allow it?

 

Crucero-Amante,

 

Was your reply serious or in jest? At first I thought you were joking but now I'm beginning to think you were being serious after reading some more replies.

 

Do people really decorate their cruise doors so they can find their cabins when they've had too much to drink?

In 6 cruises on Princess & Celebrity, I've seen about a dozen doors decorated (other than balloons the cruiseline might put up for a birthday or anniversary).

 

Not sure if it's for finding your room when drunk, or an overactive Arts & Crafts gland.

 

And we usually do a couple of laps of different cabin decks each evening, so we end up seeing most of the doors by the end of a cruise.

Baby seal pelts, bald eagle feathers and a sign that says "Protect Our Resources."

I just thought it would be neat to do. We do not drink much, maybe 1 drink every cruise. So it is not for finding the room. Just thought it would look nice. Wife likes stuff like that. I was thinking of a sign saying "If this ship/room is rocking don't bother knocking!"

 

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I like them all. I was thinking of whales, eagles, a glorious sunset or sunrise with seagulls in the distance. Maybe a cool drink with a person sitting under an umbrella on deck. Something like that.

 

Just trying to make the door a conversation piece. Our room is right around the corner from the elevators and the dining room. So I know it will be a tad noisy but hopefully will give the people something to comment on. LOL. Leth the comments begin. I am very thick skinned so it won't bother me if people make some outlandish remarks about it being tacvky or something.

 

Thanks again.

Hello Jane, both of my replies were in jest.

But don't tell anyone. ;)

I finally know what is wrong with me, an overactive Arts and Crafts gland. That explains why I volunteer to teach a craft when the silly Cruise staff brings the same craft 2 days in a row.

 

By the way, I also decorate our door with a 12 by 12 piece of scrapbook paper which depicts something to do with the specific cruise and our names. I also have two "paper dolls". for lack of a better word, with our names on them. I have received many cute comments from passer-bys.

 

It does make it easy to find our door, and we don't drink that much.

That's what I thought, but then when I saw the other replies, I thought .....well, maybe.

 

Now I know it's due to an overactive arts and crafts gland! LOL!

Same question here. Guess I just don't understand why I would want someone making comments about my door. To each her/his own. Enjoy your cruise.

 

why would you want to decorate a door?
