New Rules on Door Decorations

[Ed]

DCL has revised their rules regarding door decorations and over-the-door organizers and instituted a penalty for violators. ONLY magnetic decorations may be placed on doors (no tape, glue or removable gel-type hooks or clips such as 3M Command products), and the frequently-suggested over-the-door hanging organizers are now a no-no due to these items damaging the painted surface of doors.

DCL will be placing the following letter in staterooms in the near future:

Dear Guests,

We are glad that you have joined us aboard the Disney (Choose Ship)!

As you may be aware, it is important to us to keep our facilities looking their best for all our guests. As part of our commitment to this area of focus, we ask that you do not affix anything to your stateroom door utilizing tape or any adhesive, including removable gel adhesives. We have found that these adhesives damage the finish on our stateroom doors; therefore we ask that you limit door decoration to those of the magnetic variety.

Concurrently, we ask that guests not use over-the-door hanging organizers as they have been found to scratch and/or disfigure stateroom doors and trim.

Guests found with damaged doors are assessed a $100 damage fee per incident to cover the cost of repairs.

Your attention to this matter will greatly assist us in keeping our shipboard environment looking ship-shape. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Guest Services, Deck 3 Mid-ship.

If interested, magnetic door decorations are available for purchase in our merchandise area. For your convenience, magnetic strips are also available at Guest Services.

We appreciate your cooperation and hope you have an enjoyable sailing.

Sincerely,

[faline]

Thanks for the update, Ed. These restrictions certainly seem reasonable.

$100!!! OUCH!

Never bothered much with the door decorations though, no real biggie. I did notice quite a few folks seem to go over the top.

Honestly, it serves people right if they damage the ship.

I think the door decorations are tacky, personally. Think it takes away from the upscale look of the ship. To each his own, though.

Good for them! I'm glad - I don't think ppl should tear stuff up either, and those 3M hooks rarely come off clean.

Good for Disney!

I agree.

[Christine]

I wholeheartedly agree. I think it takes away from the pristine ocean liner look to have a quilted door hanger that says "the Connors Comfy Cabin" or such nonsense. And some go SO overboard with ribbons, antenna balls, stickers, scrapbook paper with collages, etc.-- it's like a teenager's room.

Not to mention the damage it causes to the paint or facing.

I very much hope that they start enforcing those fines.
