CRUISE CABIN DOOR DECORATIONS: Tips, Rules & Everything You NEED to Know!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Are you going on a cruise and wondering about cruise cabin door decorations? Decorating your cruise cabin on a cruise is popular with cruisers. However, there are some rules and things you should now if you plan on decorating your cruise cabin door.
In this video I go over the do's and don'ts of this popular cruise activity, and share photos of cruise cabin door decorations from real cruisers. In particular, decorating a cabin door is popular on Disney and Carnival cruises. Cruise passengers will also decorate cabins on other cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and more. If you are celebrating an anniversary or special occasion, or cruising over the holidays, this can be a fun activity for cruisers! Thanks to all who shared photos!

I LOVE my Ultimate Cruise Planner. I print extra copies of certain pages so they match with however many days I am on a cruise. Oh my goodness it is AWESOME. I told my daughter she needs to order one (or maybe I'll just order one for her. :))
I laughed when you talked about all the hallways & doors looking the same. On our South Pacific cruise from Hawaii to Australia I decorated My sister & brother-in-law's cabin door for their anniversary. Got up early in the morning on the day, quietly decorated, took a picture & started back to
my cabin on another floor. That's when I realized I was on the wrong floor!!! So, went back, quietly undecorated the door, went to the correct floor & started over again. We did have a very good laugh over that mistake!
LOL that's funny!
When I went exploring I came across happy birthday signs. Being in a great mood I left a $2 bill on every sign I saw as kind of a random present for a stranger. No note just the bill. I was just hoping it was a pleasant surprise.
Since I travel with a service dog, I put up Service Dog Etiquette rules on the door.
Very good idea
Everyone needs to learn that.
Love this. My service dog won’t be with me for this cruise but will be in the future when his training is finished!!!
@@mariannevanderbeke6362 A friend of mine recently had a horrible, dangerous hypoglycemia attack. (Low blood sugar.) His not-a-service-dog alerted.
She's now going to train to be a service dog.
@@juliatarrel1674 That is good that she is going to try. Know that only 1-3% of dogs are born with the correct temperament to be service dogs since the public is VERY hard on service dogs, in addition to the variety of stressful environments that they are expected to train to go to.
I run three different service dog pages on facebook and moderate a fourth so have her feel free to contact me or join any of the groups I run.

I have decorated our door on Norwegian many times and have never had a problem. 😊
We have been on several NCL cruises and we decorate our door every time. We love it!
Are the doors metal?
Thank you for including our cabin door on our last trip on the Mardi Gras that we just got back from. It was exciting to watch a video and then see our door.
Thanks so much for sharing it with me!!
We cruised NCL Encore to Alaska this past June and decorated the door for our son’s graduation cruise. Our room steward commented on it and congratulated our son and never told us to take it down.
I’m excited to decorate my door on my very 1st cruise 😊
Decorating the door is so much fun! Last cruise was my friends 50th birthday. I bought a "package" at the party store and every night I hung up an additional sign leading up to the big day. She was thrilled. Cruising in November celebrating a 25th Anniversary and will be doing the same thing. I brought painter's tape. Works great with no damage! Love your videos!! Congratulations on the top 10!
I went on a Norwegian cruise back in April. People are definitely decorating their cabin doors and I didn't see any enforcement. That being said, I think the official rule is still that you CANNOT decorate your door. So if you're going on a Norwegian cruise, decorate your door at your own risk, and don't give the room steward a hard time if they ask you to take it down.
Great to know and good advice
On a Disney cruise you are allow to decorate the door.
Just a heads up for people doing Disney cruises.
I agree. Norwegian made no attempt to enforce their "No Door Decorations " policy. We sail Norwegian frequently and always decorate the door with something simple. Without it I'd never find my way home after an excursion, a fine meal, a show and time in the casino. 😮
Had my door decorations (which I spent a lot of time making) stolen off a Disney Cruise once. As much as it pained me, I like to take it as a compliment.
Lol that’s a good way to look at it. Thanks for sharing and for not letting it get you down :)
Who does that???? That's seriously messed up 😕
I've had handmade door decorations stolen too, it's terrible!
The same people who steal your doormats at home. 😢😢😢😢
I’ve taken multiple Disney cruises with a ton of magnets, including some that have battery operated twinkle lights. Nothing’s ever been stolen. The trick is to personalize them. They’ll be less likely to steal them if your name is plastered all over them.
Last Christmas (2021) we went on a Celebrity cruise for our 50th anniversary. The cabin attendant had a poster on our door that said Happy 50th Anniversary Don and Pat. Then we added some decorations we had brought from home. It was so sweet and thoughtful. Not too many doors were decorated, mostly wedding Anniversary. It was really nice.
Thank you for the great ideas! You definitely got my creative juices flowing! As a scrapbooker, I think I'm going to create a 12x12 scrapbook page/sign that I can bring back home, add a selfie and put into my scrapbook!
Interesting about NCL decoration ban - In Feb 2020 we put butterflies on our door on Escape (so we could easily find our cabin) and saw a few other doors decorated without issues. There weren't many but still saw maybe 10 with things on them. Dry erase boards were probably the most common items.
I just went on Royal Caribbean and I decorated with Fall decor from Dollar Tree. It was so helpful to find our cabin
I love the decorated doors. I get a kick of seeing everyone's creativity. We decorated ours on our last trip, made it easier to find our door late at night. The banner my bestie made for our trip was beautiful.
YAY SO EXCITED!! 💛💕💕💚✨✨💜💜💚❤️💔❤️💜💓💔💔💓💕💕💛🧡🌈🖤💕💘💛💝💖💜❤️✨✨💚💜💜💔💔💓💗💕🖤🖤🖤🌈💘💛🧡💖💖💜💚❤️💚🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳🛳
Thank you Llana, going on the Carnival Panorama in 4 days, so excited.
This really has lot of fun ideas. My 1sr cruise is coming soon in Dec. I just can't wait and door decorations is something I am considering right now. Thanks again for the great tips. 🙏😊
Yesss love this. Easy to recognize your door 🚪 is number 1 for me.
California Linda shares that once a cruise is booked the next two details are paramount- booking the kennel for our furry girls and planning the door design. For newbies- less is best, but have fun - Hobby Lobby sales 12 inch by 12 inch magnetic sheets which fit neatly on the cabin door. Use a scrapbook sheet of paper for inspiration and go with the creative flow. The scrapbook sheet can be lightly glue gunned to the nonmagnetic side (and pulled off later to reuse) awaiting the finishing touches. Be creative and have fun. After a touch-up of cabin cleaning I begin the finishing touches of the door design. For New Year's I always use a black and gold themed paper, letters to spell out Happy New Year's and two small plastic flutes trimmed with ribbon and tule. 🥂 For Christmas the paper design is red and white striped with a 3 dimensional honeycomb folding tree and the fun begins with glue sticks, glue gun and the remaining decorations. On international itineraries I have a Christmas tree pop-up card as our tree and battery blinking lights for making the room festive. On domestic flights I bring a minature tree, battery tree lights, ornaments and several very small wrapped boxes for visual effect. 🎄🎁 On a longer cruise the paper of choice is a regional map to which I have listed the ports of call. Have fun anticipating your cruise. ⚓️
Sadly we did have some stickers taken from a cruise door display when the decor was kid friendly and tempting. Glad to know you're stilling embracing the fun. Next step ... make your interior magnetic cabin walls just as special.
It’s sad i was just on the Panorama for Thanksgiving week and i have some décor stolen twice
Always enjoy your informative videos 😊 Theresa xo
Thanks so much Theresa :)
Love decorating our door and looking at all the other decorated doors! Recently on Christmas cruise, one family had huge chart with headings "Naughty/Nice" for guests to sign. There were so many names on that chart. Also like the charts where people ask where are you from, etc.!Door decorating has several purposes of course but one of them is building sense of community!
How fun!!!
You've inspired me! I'll be cruising soon so I will start hunting for appropriate decorations. Thankyou.
Long time HAL cruiser. As soon as we book a cruise, we create an 8 x 11 magnetic photo with pictures of the ship, the ports, our favorite drinks, our cruise critic names😊, the number of cruises we have taken, etc. We mount it on our refrigerator at home and then take it down and remount on our cruise door. We really like it for our home to look forward to the cruise. The cruise magnet on our refrigerator right now includes the fact that it will be a huge number anniversary. Fun time all around
The first time I decorated my door, about 7 years ago, I got second place. That amped up my competitiveness in me so now I'm obsessed!
My last ten or so decorations have won first place! LOL
We are doing NCL for the first time in 35 days. I am decorating my door but am amping it down big time since I don't know the rules, and there is no contest in our FB group.
Great info. Thank you.
Best video in a long time. Although all are welcome and informative, this one was more fun. I do decorations and found pictures and info very helpful. Going to Hawaii on NCL POA 12-2022 celebrating my friends 60th and adding to our bucket List. Definatley planning on decorating the door for her.
Loved your video, I always decorate because normally its several couples who travel together and I normally decorate everyone’s cabin doors, it always fun.
Great video 🌸💐🌸💐
Hi Iana, I found your you tube channel and love it. Thank you for all your wonderful tips about cruising--- they have really come in handy. This June (2022) we took the family on a Royal Caribbean " Harmony of the Seas" cruise. I told our adult kids they were only coming because of the grandkids.😊 As excited as everyone was to learn of our going on a cruise, I sensed that the grandkids ( ages 10 &12) were a little apprensive of getting lost on such a big ship. Your ideas of decorating the cabin door came to mind. Since I don't have a creative gene in my entire body, I researched companies that makes cabin door decorations & I came across " Cabin Cruise Wear"--- who knew they made door decorations. I ordered a personalized banner for the grandkids room. I have to say, it was great. The company was easy to work with too. ( BTW, I have no relationship with them, just happy to recommend them because my experience was so pleasant). On the 1st day, when the kids were at the pool, my husband hung it on there door. They were so excited when they saw it & it eased their worries of finding the right cabin. Since our room was on another floor, I went on Amazon & ordered a small personalized "Grandmom & Pop Pop's Cruise Cabin" sign from Blackwater Trading-- this way, they wouldn't get lost when they visited us. I can't say that there many cabins decorated on our Royal Carribean cruise ship but again my purpose was to take away any concerns the grandkids had & it was a fun and colorful way to do it. Thanks Ileana for the tip it worked!!! Ps. We found the small magnetic clips you recommended worked better than the Command Strips to hang the banner & sign.
This is great and so smart!! Thanks for sharing your experiences & tips :)
You are so very tactful. Love your videos.
I was on Norwegian Dawn just this last February. I had a couple magnets that I decorated on my cabin door and saw other cabins decorated as well...I asked my cabin steward. He personally didn't have any issues with it.
Great to know, thanks
Thanks for sharing
We have decorated our cabin doors on our past 3 cruises. We have gone with several couples and we included a small white board to leave each other messages. We usually get magnets made that have our names and the name of the ship. Two of the trips were for my birthday and it was nice seeing all the different birthday messages from complete strangers. Our next cruise is in April on Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas and we are taking our niece for her 21st birthday. I have already ordered her own white board and I’m looking to get some personalized magnets for her door of tropical drinks with her name on them and flamingos 🦩, she loves flamingos! I am actually putting together a whole cruise essential bag ( filled with items you recommend, including the Ultimate Cruise Planner), it’s her first cruise.
Wow!! What a great cruise for her 21st birthday! Everything you’re doing sounds amazing. Thanks for your purchase Lisa :)
She’s a lucky girl to have an aunt like you. They have the white boards at the dollar store, save a little money
I will be decorating my door. Thanks for suggestions.😅😅❤
We went on a Christmas cruise on Navigator of the Seas in 2018. We wrapped the door in wrapping paper and ribbon and made it look like a big present. We also used stringed Christmas lights that were on a closed battery circuit. It was really well received by staff and other cruisers.
On our last cruise we decorated our doors with decorative paper plates which we personalized using markers (really simple) and put a magnet on them for our doors ~ We travel with friends and usually have cabins next to each other and each day we found our door "plates" were on each others door ~ or upside down ~ etc, etc. we got a big chuckle out of that! Using door decorations is a great way to find your cabin and that is a great tip to pass along ~
Lol sounds like fun!
I love your videos! I am watching many many of them as we have reserved our first ever cruise for March 2024.
I love your channel 💜
Thank you!!!!
Very original! I watch a lot of cruise v-logs and this is the first time I’ve seen this topic discussed.
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Great examples! Thanks for including mine!!
Thanks Mary for sharing it!!
Yes, this is such a huge thing on a DCL cruise. We Always bring them when we're cruising. It's great fun.
Thanks for sharing
I will do in the Horizon in january . Thank you for your Tips and Your Work 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great fun video. I have never seen any door decorations before except once near Christmas there were a couple of wreaths. Looks fun.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great ideas and information! We love checking out the decorations and sometimes we do a competition amongst our shipmates!
Very fun!!
Thank you for sharing this information, and all the door ideas.. We always decorate our doors. This is our first cruise since 2019, so I am trying to get some ideas for our door. We’re going to be cruising in a little over a month.
Luv decorating my cruise 🚢 door and seeing everyone else’s doors too .
We were on the Carnival Panorama in July and one of the people in our group made us all signs to hang. That was nice to be able to find each other's rooms. Doing a family cruise soon, and looking forward to making personalized door decorations in our group.
Very fun!
good info. Thank You 👍👍
The 🍍 part 😳 good to know!
Happy Friday liana hope you have a wonderful fun weekend xoxo 😘 ❤️🩹💝💗💓🧡✨💕💖🛳🛳💚💜❤️❤️❤️💚🛳🛳💚💜❤️❤️🖤💖🖤💕🌈🧡💓💔🧡❤️🩹💙💗🥪💝💙💘💛💛✨🖤🖤💜❤️❤️❤️💚💚🛳💚💜❤️💜💚🖤💕✨✨🌈
We were just on Norweigen. And we we're politely asked to put them on the inside of our door.
Thank you for all the info you provide on your channel. I am going on a cruise with a friend and a group of 5 other couples. I am so excited, I want to make it a super special and memorable experience. I have been thinking about the door decorations and I am so grateful you mentioned about the pineapple decor. That is not the experience I am going for.
You are TOTALLY FANTASTIC in your commentary, recommendations, and observations. Because of you, I have had the best experiences on my cruises.
Thank you and please keep up the great work.
I’m so glad you had a great cruise!!
@@LifeWellCruised I really appreciate your tips, tricks, and suggestions.
I am going on a Thanksgiving Week cruise and I cannot wait to decorate my door - GOBBLE GOBBLE!!
I'm excited for this. I'm leaving for my cruise soon.
Awesome!! Have fun!
Good to know 👍
We just cruised NCL Honoluli to Tahiti and we did door deco, as did my dtr across the hall. I like them because you come back to the right cabin.
We are celebrating our 20 yr anniversary on RC next May. I am definitely decorating our door.
Hi Illana, great video! I have never decorated my door but this has peeked my interest to do so as my next cruise is for my birthday in 2023🚢😊
Lol I haven’t done this yet either, but maybe I will
We took our first cruise in 1976. We brought Christmas decorations since it was Xmas cruise. Easy pack hanging items, door knob sign, lights, garland, and small light up Christmas trees for each cabin. In addition we had table decorations, gifts for room steward, dining staff, gifts for guest at dining table. Of extras if people we wanted to thank. Only thing missing was a having a large to sit around and sing Christmas songs. We borrowed from the lobby for couple of hours. We started pool even the nets were over the pool. You could sit on edge dangled legs and feet in the water. We thought got away with some antics. The next day the cruise directors teased us. Especially with the disappearing tree to reappeared tree that was diffidently titling. Staff were wondering about who took it, and one who do know who likely took. I have perpetual gold “Giving Tree”. So for any birthdays we use too or Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. it stands over 5 feet, has lights, and folds flat on Amazon. Different colors. Obviously nowadays you find lots of stuff. As a teacher who couldn’t use adhesives , there are many ways to decorate rooms and doors without adhesives. Thank god for command hooks or other related products other. Push pins is iffy because leave a hole so you use them only in ways the hole pin couldn’t be seen. The cruise line has their room decorations packages that can be bought and they have when you go into your stateroom. They have used pins. But think I people can come up with better decor items and a lot cheaper or reusable.
I've never seen a video on this fun topic, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video. Yes, I am planning to decorate my cabin door for my 50th birthday. TFS Be Blessed
Great idea!
We just cruised on NCL in July 2022 and we decorated several doors in our group with Luau themed dollar store decorations. Thanks for the advisement on the pineapple. We’ve also decorated doors on Carnival and Disney
I went to the Symphony of the Seas the last December and we enjoyed a lot of Christmas doors decorations 😃
we went on a NCL cruise in may and used a magnetic sign on our door.it had a picture of hawaii and had the smith family est 1979.it was helpful finding our cabin for sure.
Sailed on Norwegian in July and August 2022 Saw door decorations on both sailings.
Sailed at Christmas 2021 and decorated our door, cabin and balcony.
I’m getting those giant googly eyes.
Aren’t they fun?
We (2 grandsons and myself) will be sailing over Christmas!! There is a lot of first’s going. We are going to decorate our door and the room never did before. Going on Christmas, taking boys alone on vacation and being the only adult. My husband passed away back on 3/28. Sailing on anything but RCL. We will be on Norwegian!! Your videos have helped me so much! Thank you I greatly appreciate it!!
Wonderful! I already have packed note cards to leave with tips. People forget that the crew likely spends double 24/7 to make a person’s sailing a great one! Command hooks, got them. Easy breezy!
I love this video! We'll be on the HAL Volendam in July for our 25th anniversary and although I don't know if it's allowed on our ship, I've gotten some great ideas!
I am cruising to Hawaii in 30 days so am devouring the cruise videos now. I will be decorating my door with some of your photos and quotes that I found on Pinterest.Properly credited of course 😊). I made them into 4x5 magnets and will be adding a new one to my door each day
Heading g to New England, so doing fall decorations!
Went on my first cruise in 2019 with my sister and Aunt. We went in October so we did a Halloween theme. Was super helpful for finding our door and had many compliments.
I watched four or five of your videos before I decided to subscribe. let me tell you right up front you are the best. very informative, very personable, a very good speaker Etc. now to tell you a little bit about myself hopefully will add to the compliments I've already stated above. I am retired. I was in the travel industry for over 40 years. I worked for three major airlines. I then worked on military bases for Sato booking government travel. I also worked on multi-million dollar government contracts for another travel agency. I manage a reservation center, and I also became the director of the eighth largest travel agency on the East Coast before retiring. I've watched several other Cruise channels and you have the best one. keep up the good work. I certainly will forward your videos and hopefully you will gain more followers.
Thanks so much for your comments Sue! I really appreciate your feedback and it means a lot, especially with your experience :)
I've never been on a Disney cruise, and we never decorated our cabin doors.
But I must admit that I've seen some really neat decorations.
Also I have used them as navigation aids as well.
Fun idea! I’m definitely more of an admirer than doer
Thanks!
Thank you Nancy!! I really appreciate it 😊
Our cruise last summer on the Norwegian Prima had a few doors decorated. We plan to do it next week on our Mediterranean cruise on the Viva.
Have never done it before but really thinking of doing it on our next cruise in December something with a Christmas theme.
My sister and I cruise together and last year when we cruised to Hawaii and French Polynesia it was before St. Patrick’s Day so I bought some inexpensive stuff at the Dollar Store with shamrocks and a sign to put on our door. My sister’s birthday was while we were on the cruise and I brought all kinds of fun stuff for her to wear on that day. It was a lot of fun. This year we are headed to Alaska and it will be during Labor Day…so I will grab patriotic decor for that. I like decorating cause it helps us find our room and it personalizes the door.
It’s great to use it to help know where my cabin is when the neighbors decorate.
I'm a quilter and we always cruise at Christmas time. I made a small wall hanging Christmas tree quilt that we put in our cabin door.
I will be decorating our door on our Christmas cruise. combo of holiday and beach themed. I tried to decorate in May on our Alaska cruise but found my magnets weren't strong enough. I will be prepared in December. Can't wait!!! 107 days yippee
I love decorating for anything… we’re going on our first cruise in 3 days! And i just got all the stuff to decorate our door 😁😁
I'm going in two weeks for my birthday. I bought a "My Birthday Cruise" magnet sign on Amazon for less than $5. It's about 4"x5". Works for me!
This will be our 3rd Disney cruise and we decorated our door the 1st 2 times, so, yes we'll likely do it again. 👍
Can they be three dimensional on Disney, like a wreath, or do they have to be flat magnets?
Sailing Celebrity... we retired teachers know how to decorate ... inside and out ... our Cabin Steward found us taking taking down our ceiling decorations that we were going to throw away... he asked us repeatedly to please leave them up! He wanted all the decorations to brighten up his cabin and he wanted to take them down himself!
Taking my first cruise in October with celebrity for our honeymoon/ 1st anniversary so glad we get to do this to the Door!
Just ordered personalized magnets from Vistaprint. You just order the car magnets, many different sizes, very customizable. You can even put your own photo backgrounds, or there's many different pre-loaded designs. Not too expensive either.
I’ll be going on my first cruise in just 2 weeks. March 2023. I will be on Carnival’s Mardi Gras, so I’ll be decorating my door with that theme. I’m so excited to hang out with my sister on a cruise.
Going celebration in month I hope door decorating go well .
I’ve never decorated my cabin door, but planning to start a new tradition!!! I grabbed an extra pair of flip flops, getting a string of flowers. I have a plastic place mat which is a map of many of the cruise ship destinations, but like you said, it’s more sentimental to me, wouldn’t want it taken. A basket or small pail with ginger candy up high on door is a thought too!
I have to look again, I’ve looked twice but didn’t see “cruise door decorations “ listed below? I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing 🛳🛳
Thanks for sharing! I put the blog post which has a few suggestions, but could add the links to the description :)
A group of ladies from church did a cruise this year. We had a door decorating contest judged by a couple we met on the trip. Such fun!
Have a great cruise! cant wait to hear about it! any winter coat suggestions that aren't bulky when you leave winter and come into sun? For storage purposes
Absolutely
We will be decorating our door on our cruise at the end of this month. on Liberty of the seas.
We cruised with my parents and the grandkids back in July. I surprised them by decorating their door using my Cricut (you pronounced it correctly). Decorations really help to find your cabin door!
That’s awesome!
Keeping it simple, I’m going to put two decorated, plastic, flat margarita glasses with our names on them for a March cruise to the Bahamas! Fun!
We are going on a Halloween cruise this year and I’m bringing a little Jack-o-lantern type thing to put candy in. Thanks for the reminder of putting it a little higher.
