You've likely walked down the endless cabin corridors on a cruise ship only to find that every door looks exactly the same. While it can be challenging to remember your room number (I'm one of those people who's lost for the first few days of a cruise), one way to remember which room is yours is by decorating your door.
If you've ever sailed on Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean or Carnival Cruise Line, you might have even passed some cruise door decorations like magnets, signs and small banners and thought about doing the same on your next cruise. It's a great idea since decorations are an easy way to know which room is yours, plus it adds a little pizzazz to the vibe in the hallways.

If you've been inspired by cruise ship neighbors and plan to decorate on your next cruise, you should know a few key things before you plan your hallway masterpiece. Read on to learn which cruise lines allow decorations, which decorations are best and where to find the best cruise door decoration ideas.
Not all cruise lines allow door decorations. For the lines that do, here are their basic decorating rules.
Carnival Cruise Line allows door decorations as long as they're made from fire-retardant materials. Decorations can only be placed on the cabin door and not on the adjacent hallway walls. Magnets or command strips are acceptable ways to hang decorations, but tape and glue are not. String lights are also not allowed.
I love going with a themed door when I'm sailing with Carnival. I try to think about what upcoming holidays are close to my sailing or where the cruise is sailing to. For example, if the cruise is heading to Mexico, I might try to find some taco and margarita magnets to put on my door to bring a bit of fun flair to the hallway.
Royal Caribbean permits guests to decorate their cabin doors, but you should ensure that all decorations stay on the doors and not stray to a nearby wall. Decorations should not destroy the door in any way. If you want to decorate your door while on a Royal Caribbean cruise, simple magnets are best.
I try to find decorations that fit the lively party vibe of Royal Caribbean ships. Party banners that can be hung with magnets are always a hit. I also love finding fringe curtains and cutting them to the size of my door to add a little sparkle and shine to my cabin entry.
Disney Cruise Line passengers can decorate their doors but cannot use adhesive to affix the decorations. Otherwise, Disney is fairly open to all types of door decorations. Decorative magnets or hanging signs with magnetic hooks are a popular choice.
Unfortunately, Concierge rooms on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy have wooden doors, so magnets
