When he was too far along with the disease I didn’t take him on cruises anymore. I wasn’t trying to be critical just wondering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosevew Posted March 7 #105 Share Posted March 7 I can totally understand why they may be banning or restricting door decorations though as so many people go OTT. I feel for the poor cabin stewards having to get past all the junk on the doors without knocking it off when they are trying to do the cabins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen paper, and plastic leis stuck to the door. Not saying these would be the cause of a fire, but they certainly would burn if there was a fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PurpleHays Posted March 8 #107 Share Posted March 8 We (meaning me) do one door sign, usually 16x16" with something related to the cruise. The last one in December was a simple "winter escape." I don't need it, but hubby has reduced vision and can't always see the cabin numbers. The bigger sign makes it easier to see. He's over 6' tall, so I put it above the peephole. Shouldn't be in the steward's way at all. I do admit to taking different routes through cabin corridors to see what other people have done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinCouple2010 Posted March 8 #109 Share Posted March 8 We are boarding the Ruby Princess this Saturday March 09. I am bringing a Saint Patrick’s day decoration for the door. I will see what happens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMadame Posted March 8 #110 Share Posted March 8 6 hours ago, karatemom2 said: A flat magnetic sign that stays flush on the door is likely not a big fire hazard. But as has been pointed out, what has happened is that some people have taken this way further then a simple sign just on the door. I have seen cloth banners, metallic fringe (like you see at a party store), large cutouts, balloons, full door covers, items taped around the edges of the door, etc. All of those things - besides being over the top, could likely be considered fire hazards. This is why we can't have nice things. 🤣 I can't find any policy on the Princess site about door decorations. Hopefully, there will be clarification on what exactly it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a full ban except for recitations approved by Princess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCX22 Posted March 8 #114 Share Posted March 8 What does bug me is when travel agencies with groups put signs on group member cabin doors with their agency's logo. The door then turns into a billboard for that travel agency. It's rare, but some agents even have the chutzpa to put business cards in a holder on their door. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tape I use doesn’t leave a residue. I always make sure the door is clean when I leave, that’s why I take then down the night before debarkation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually at many hotels people do decorate their doors. We were in Tahoe recently and there were many doors down our hall decorated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted March 8 #118 Share Posted March 8 Have not read all 6 pages, nor does this apply to me. BUT... If we are going to use the below logic, any Home Owners' Association line of demarkation is: Anything outside the unit is Association (Princess) responsibility. Anything inside the unit is the owner's responsibility. The outer door is thus Princess and Princess' rules apply. Like it or not, Princess is going to have a few passengers who are upset. Is this a financial gain for them? TBD. 9 hours ago, cnice515 said: Totally agree, but the actual door itself could be considered private property for at least your cruise. Would be akin to rental property, legally speaking it is considered "your" private property while you are occupying the space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they own all of it and are responsible for all of it. 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
