Hands on Review: Top Magnets Heavy Duty Magnetic Hooks… These actually hold something!

Magnetic Hooks = Must Have for Cruising

There are a few items that can really help to organize your cabin for a more enjoyable vacation. Since cabin walls are made of generally made of metal. Magnetic hooks will attach to walls and ceilings for organization.

We’ve used a number of magnetic hook designs in our years cruising. These are the ones we’ve been using recently. They’re dandy magnetic hooks. I would venture a guess that they’re very similar to what most people use.

The thing is they leave something to be desired as far as capacity. The stated capacity is 30 lbs which would be fantastic, but… in our experience, it’s no where near realistic. Not sure where manufacturers are getting these ratings… maybe the vacuum of space?? 🙂 but they aren’t realistic in our experience.

I went looking for something more beefy and landed on these. Here’s a hands on look.

Hands on Review Top Magnetics Heavy Duty Magnetic Hooks

In the box. We got the three pack. As of this posting 3, 4 and 6 pack options are available. Compared to the average hook magnets that we’ve seen people use for cruising… these are monsters. They are chunky (but still small and easy to pack) and have a much higher holding capacity.

A look at a single magnet

For size reference next to a bottle of Sun Bum sunscreen (my standard size reference item on Cruise Packing List)

For size comparison next more of a standard sized magnetic hook – DIYMAG Magnetic Hooks. Of course, the DIYMAG is on the bottom the Top Magnets is on the top.

The two magnets side by side

Here’s the Top Magnets Magnetic hook with our HOXIS Mesh Tote Beach Bag hanging on it. The bag is empty and it’s working great.

This is the beach bag holding strong with three cans soup cans in it. Nice!

Close up of the cans. It was chili night.
In comparison this is a DIYMAG Magnetic Hook with a single can in it. One single can made it unstable. This has been our experience with smaller magnetic hooks. They don’t hold much weight. They’re still very helpful, but they just won’t hold anything of substance.

Here’s the Top Magnet Magnetic Hook with the bag + 3 lb weight. I’d say we’re looking at a maximum weight on this surface of 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. In both cases (the smaller DIYMAG Magnetic Hooks and the Top Magnets Hooks) , the capacity of these hooks is overstated. Giving manufacturers the benefit of the doubt, they may do their testing in perfect conditions. The big difference is the Top Magnets Magnetic Hooks can actually hold some weight!

Trial… onboard Celebrity Ascent

Here are some photos and commentary from a cruise we took on the beautiful Celebrity Ascent.

Holding my packable back pack with nearly everything I’ll need for a day at the beach.

Conclusions

In my opinion magnetic hooks are on the must haves list for cabin organization. These heavy duty magnets are a huge upgrade compared to what we’ve been using. And I’m guessing compared to most of the magnetic hooks that are used by cruisers. These are fantastic. Practically speaking we’ll take these and a handful of the smaller ones we already have.

DEAL! Royal Caribbean & Celebrity Luggage Tags – $4.74

Cruise Luggage Tags, NTONPOWER Cruise Tags Holders with Steel Loops Clear Cruise Luggage Tags for Cruise Ships Fits All Royal Caribbean & Celebrity Cruise Cruise Essentials in 2024

I highly recommend cruise luggage tag holders. These are sturdier and more secure than tape or staples. Having these also means you don’t need to carry along… tape or staples. These also keep your tags dry (and readable) in the event of rain. Because your tags are more likely to stay on, you’re less likely to have delayed luggage on the ship. Size of these varies based on cruise line. Look for one that’s compatible with your cruise line.

If you’re flying to your embarkation port I don’t recommend putting cruise tags on your luggage until after your flight. That’s especially true if you’re taping and stapling vs using luggage tags. Luggage tag holders would probably make the flight okay, but, to me, there’s no sense subjecting these to the wear and tear of airline luggage handling.

Print and fold (or cut) your printable luggage tags at home, put them in holders and pack. Put on the night before you cruise and you’ll all set.

Towel Bands Or Clips? We have used both towel bands and clips extensively on cruises and beach vacations. In my opinion having one or the other is a must have.

Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruisers… Use the 220 Outlet on Your Next Cruise, 4 adapters – on sale for… $3.99, $1 each

I’ve been a big proponent of using the 220 outlet in your cruise cabin. They’re cheap and small and magically give you access to another outlet that you wouldn’t have otherwise been able to use. Note that these are not voltage converters. Many electronics are designed to operate in the 220 volt range.

For lots more about this see: Cruise Ship Power Solutions – Making Use of the 220 Volt Cabin Outlet On Your Next Cruise

There are lots of cool options available that get you a North American style outlet (or multiple outlets) along with USB ports.

A couple examples…

See my review of both of those for more information.

The problem for Royal Caribbean Cruisers… Recently Royal announced that multi-plug adapters are banned.

My current understanding of that rule is that multi-USB charging blocks are allowed. But anything that has an AC outlet on it must have only an AC outlet and nothing else.

As far as compliant European converters, those are kind of hard to find since many of them include multiple outlets and most of the times include one or more USB ports. After all… why not do that?

Anyway, I have found an adapter that should work with Royal’s new rules. It is and European to C to single North American style outlet with no USB ports.

Another really good option for this outlet is a multi port USB charger. A lot of the items were charging are USB anyway. Since this model has no AC outlet it should be compliant with Royal’s rules.
