Wickets Posted December 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2019 After 23 cruises, the Grinch has finally struck and stolen our door decoration. I was nice seeing all of the decorated doors around the ship early in the cruise. My wife spent hours making a very nice embodered Xmas tree with lights for our door. This morning when we got up it had been stolen. In talking to room Stewart, we are not the only ones even in our small section of the ship. We have since heard that this has been very common in talking to guest relations and other passengers. This very disappointing, hopefully someone will turn these items in and we will be able to claim from lost and found 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellon1 Posted December 11, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Isn't there cameras in the hallway that they can catch the thief? Really...how terrible...at Christmas no less. They are probably going to regift them to someone. They should be caught and thrown off the ship at the next port. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was nice seeing all of the decorated doors around the ship early in the cruise. My door decorations on Emerald were stolen a few years ago. It was stuff from the dollar store, so it didn't make much sense. Now, I simply don't bother. A couple years ago, there was a thread 'what kind of people will I meet on my princess cruise?' This thread should probably be merged... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellon1 Posted December 11, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It could have been kids trying to be funny and putting the decorations on other people's doors. We have had our job signs taken and moved to another address. Cops said kids do this stuff all the time as a form of entertainment. Parents on the ship should be responsible for their kids just the same. That is, if it was kids. I would push for the ship to look at the cameras and catch the culprit(s) and post their pictures around the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanFromFL Posted December 11, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Moving the decorations to someone else's door gives me such a chuckle...oh, to be 12 years old again! 😝 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted December 11, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2019 We did a transatlantic on the Crown a few years ago, I had a a large a3 map colour printed of our route printed before leaving home. We had a magnetic Crown Princess ship we moved each day to show our route. It was stolen b3fore we reached the Azores. I stuck a post it note on the map saying thanks for stealing our magnet. Did get a few notes from neighbours saying how mean people can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted December 11, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Imagine being able to afford to cruise, and feeling the need to steal a magnet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted December 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Maybe if you have a photo of the decoration you could share it with security and have them ask the stewards and room service folks keep an eye out for it. I'd bet the stewards would have a good idea of what's in cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that there are those who believe that door decorations are a fire hazard (my retired arson investigator hubby laughs at that). I am hoping that your decoration and the others was "confiscated" by a self-righteous, over-zealous, self-appointed fire marshal who will return them all early on disembarkation day. It's an unlikely scenario, but I will still hope it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voljeep Posted December 11, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I really hope it was just kids goofing and maybe putting on another cabin on another floor ... if it was adults … well ... and we decorate our door, but it's maybe $5 worth or less from the dollar bin attached with some glue on magnets ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted December 12, 2019 #16 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Sadly this does happen on a all too regular basis. My guess it is adults doing this as many cruises have children in low numbers. Some people have no class even on cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted December 12, 2019 #17 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Aren't there cameras in the hallways, couldn't Princess determine who did that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Cruising 3 Posted December 12, 2019 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2019 In the past we used magnets for our decorations & they usually disappeared regularly so we now use tape. Another thing is that if you make the decorations too nice as the OP did, they'll take everything, so keep it simple & unique for the door & hang the better decorations inside the cabin. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted December 13, 2019 #19 Share Posted December 13, 2019 That’s so sad! 😏 We had our Happy Anniversary sign and balloons stolen one one cruise. I just don’t understand people sometimes! We will be gingerbreading our door next week, and 🤞 it stays strong through the New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly give a lot of credit for smarts to someone who is clearly a Neanderthal. Silly indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
