This is a sad world we are living in now that we are all treated like criminals.
Several years ago when my oldest son was 9 he left dinner early and went to the room. He fell asleep on our bed. The room host didn't make up the room. He told us he came in and saw the child sleeping and left. He kept apologizing over and over he said he wasn't supposed to enter the room when a child is alone in there. Fast forward to the last cruise. I came back from the gym my youngest son who is now 13 was sitting on the chair while the host was making up the room. The door was propped open, but I was surprised because I thought that was against the rules.i didn't think technically there WERE supposed to be minors in rooms with no adults. In practice people sleep wherever, but I thought there is supposed to be an adult registered in every room.
I don't know for sure, but I would highly doubt every Tom, Dick & Harry on the ship has the tools, skill and knowledge to open a safe. I would bet that only a very small subset of people (security staff?) can actually do that, and I would equally bet that they would be required to have a second person escort them to prevent the possibility of any shenanigans.
I mean, DCL is not in the "snooping" business. They are in the "making sure you have a fun and safe vacation" business.
I always let me teens (14, 17) sleep in on the cruise. We have connecting rooms and they don’t get up until lunch time. I explain this to the stateroom host prior to let him know to make up their room later on.Was there ever "privacy" like the olden days of hotels on DCL though? Stateroom hosts have always entered rooms at least 1x a day, usually 2x a day regardless.
I'm curious what their policy is now with minors in the room with no adults...if that's changed at all.
Following Las Vegas, this is coming to every hotel and cruise ship. Just give it some time.

Nice relaxing vacation as they come knocking on your door just to "check" on you as if you are a criminal. I don't like it and it does nothing.
You really think that's what they are going to do - just breeze into your stateroom at any time for no reason just for a random spot-check?
Also, these door hangers have been in place for several months at the resorts.
Hmm. I hope you reported that. I would bet that is not how Disney wanted that to be handled.
The Las Vegas wacko didnt have to go through a metal detector or have his bags x-rayed.
You need to read the WDW resort board. There have actually been multiple reports of this happening. A WDW customer service issue is unlikely to make it into a news article, btw. That's one reason why people come to the boards to post & receive info.You really think that's what they are going to do - just breeze into your stateroom at any time for no reason just for a random spot-check?...Also, these door hangers have been in place for several months at the resorts. I've yet to see a news article about staff starting to just indiscreetly and indiscriminately bust into rooms while people are sleeping or showering.
This kind of thing has been reported numerous times on the resort boards. It isn't something that only happened to the poster you responded to. It's now part of WDW policy, apparently. That's why some people are so concerned about the practice spreading to DCL.Hmm. I hope you reported that. I would bet that is not how Disney wanted that to be handled.
I wouldn't have expected that of DCL before reading about what's been going on at WDW resorts after they changed their door signs. I think some people are freaked out by the prospect of DCL changing policy and starting to do that, like WDW has. I wouldn't have expected to be treated that way at a deluxe WDW resort, either, but there are numerous reports on the WDW resorts board of this aggressive barging in occurring, at every level of resort.I'm very confused as to why one would cruise with DCL if one thinks a minor change like the wording on a door hanger would be enough to lead to crew members constantly invading one's privacy and/or letting themselves into one's safe to rifle through one's possessions. If the crew members are so ill-behaved that the only thing stopping them from depriving passengers of any semblance of privacy was the phrasing on a door hanger, why on earth would you ever have wanted to sail with them in the first place?
Me too!Just to be clear this doesn't bother me one bit.
