Can You Decorate Your Door on an MSC Cruise?

Yes, you can decorate your door on an MSC cruise, but there are a few differences compared to other cruise lines that are worth knowing before you pack your decorations.

On many MSC ships, stateroom doors are not magnetic, which can catch some cruisers off guard. Instead, the wall next to the door is often metal and will hold magnets just fine. There are exceptions though. Some ships, like MSC Grandiosa, have metal doors on certain cabins where magnets will work directly. If you want more flexibility, bringing a bit of double sided tape can help you attach decorations to the door itself.

Door decorating is not as common on MSC as it is on Disney Cruise Line or some other family focused cruise brands. You will likely see a few decorated doors, but it is not something most guests participate in, so your door may stand out more than you expect.

It is also worth noting that while door decoration theft can happen on any cruise line, some cruisers report it more frequently on MSC. If you plan to decorate, consider using items you would not mind losing and avoid anything valuable or sentimental.
