Royal Caribbean International has implemented a ban on decorating stateroom doors, a tradition cherished by many cruise passengers. This decision has sparked significant backlash among vacationers who argue that these decorations enhance the cruising experience. For years, guests have personalized their doors with signs and magnets to celebrate special occasions and help locate their cabins. However, the cruise line's new policy explicitly prohibits any materials on the ship's interior, including cabin doors and corridors. The enforcement is attributed to safety concerns, as decorations can pose fire hazards and cause damage to the ship's surfaces. Other cruise lines, such as Carnival and Disney, have similar policies in place. Additionally, there have been reports of theft, with passengers claiming that their decorations have gone missing during voyages. Royal Caribbean's notice to guests emphasizes that any decorations displayed are at the passenger's own risk, further complicating the situation for those who enjoy this aspect of cruising.
