planooldfamily Posted March 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We've got 3 families traveling together in separate cabins. Any suggestions on how to leave messages for one another ? Do you slide notes under the door, use walkie-talkies, etc. One ship we have been on had a magazine holder type box hanging outside each door - and we were able to place messages there. Does anyone know if the Ruby has that ? If you leave a message on their cabin's voice mail, can they retrieve the message from another phone on board - or do they have to go back to their cabin to hear the message ? Any suggestions would be great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingready Posted March 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Post it notes on your door or there doors work great. We usually cruise with 8 people and found it works great to stay in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted March 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I was organizing a cruise for my entire family. We had 8 cabins total. I bought little dry erase boards at target (probably 6 X 9) and decorated them with stickers and whatnot. Each person put one outside their cabin. Then you could either write where you were on your board on a note to them on theirs. Note: It didn't work to put them on the door itself as as soon as you closed it, they popped off! But the wall next to the door is also magnetic so we stuck them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can786 Posted March 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don't know if this is true or not, but when we were on the Grand last summer our cabin steward told us they were not planning to have the mailboxes outside the cabins like they do on most of the other ships. Can anyone who has been on the Ruby verify this? If they have them, it is a great way to leave messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lannp Posted March 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2009 They need those mailboxes to leave you all that useless mail, like the umpteenth notice about the final art auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz_M Posted March 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2009 They need those mailboxes to leave you all that useless mail, like the umpteenth notice about the final art auction. Our steward on my last cruise on Diamond Princess used to neatly lay out all the mail on my bed! I've successfully used a combination of phone messages, notes in mail boxes and sticky notes on the door or mirror (for cabin mates). I've also seen people use those mini whiteboards to great effect to advise their kids of time to be back for dinner etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted March 13, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I prefer to use the voicemail in the cabins.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
