Cruise door decorating have become a popular cruise fad on major cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, and Disney Cruise Line. If you’re new to cruising, you might be surprised to see hallways lined with creatively decorated doors featuring magnets, signs, balloons, and more.
What better way to add a personal touch to your cruise vacation than by decorating your stateroom door?
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, showcasing your personality, or simply making your cabin easier to find, decorating your cruise door adds an extra layer of excitement to your trip.
On my recent Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, I spotted some fun cruise door decorations. Below are a few of my favorites—hopefully, they’ll inspire you to personalize your own cruise cabin door!



















Cruise door decoration policies
Remember to check your cruise line’s door decorating policies before packing all your magnets, signs, and dry-erase boards. Below are some common cruise lines and their door decoration policies.
- Royal Caribbean policies
- Carnival Cruise Line door decoration policies
- Norwegian Cruise Line policies
- Disney Cruise Line door decoration policies
It’s also important to note that you should not tape or glue any decorations on your cruise cabin door. The doors and walls of your cruise cabin are magnetic, so be sure to bring decorations that are magnetic and not sticky.
Where to buy cruise door decorations
Many are purchased on Amazon, but you can also find on other websites like Etsy and eBay. Even your local Dollar Tree would have great decor options, especially around the holidays.
Decorating your cruise door is a simple yet fun way to make your vacation even more special. Whether you go all out with a themed display or keep it minimal with a personalized touch, your door can become a small but meaningful part of your cruise experience.
