Holiday Decorations on the Star?

[livnowensmom]

will be cruising 12/18 from Tampa..just wondering if we would be able to "decorate" the cabin. My little one (8) is having a hard time with the idea of being away from home during Santa time.. Of course I toldhim that santa would find him whereever he is, but I think it would be fun if we could bring decorations from home...

yes you can put up some decorations as long as it does not interfere with the cabin stewards doing there job, and does not damage interior surfaces. We used command tape strips works very well.

 

Have fun

I got some cute Christmas window clings for our Christmas cruise - they took up no space in the suitcases, and dressed up the mirrors and windows. We also took some other flat, hanging dollar store decorations. Not the way I would decorate at home, but it was perfect to make the room festive without adding bulk or weight to our bags.

Go ahead and decorate! Buy Dollar store stuff so you can just toss it if you like. Just don't bring flammables.

 

Last year for Christmas I sent DS a small tree (12 inch tall fiber optic) for his room along with some of the cheap plastic wall decorations from the dollar store- Santa looking in thru a snowy window and a brick fireplace with a fire. He put them up in his room along with some other small decorations. I try to send something funny each year. This year it was the wall stuff. He got a kick out of those.

 

One year I sent him a tree that was decorated with seashells that I hot glued to the tree. It was cute. This year the tree was red and silver with a huge silver star on top!

 

Santa does also come to the ship so be sure and check the daily to see if Santa will be there. Hard to say since the 25th is a turn-around day so he might show up on Christmas Eve instead of on Christmas day like he usually does.

We were playing with the idea of a Christmas cruise and I was wondering if I would miss all the decorations.

I'm not sure how early they will decorate the ship but last year we sailed on New Years Day and the Sun had a tree in the atrium and other holiday decorations. It was really pretty.

Went on a late December Disney cruise and the public spaces where very well decorated. Maybe NCL decorates too.

Christmas decorations go up after Thanksgiving and are very festive, big tree and lots of holiday spirit. Enjoy!

Another place that may be an issue is decorations on your cabin door. We were told on the Gem that door decorations will be removed. This information was from the Group Coordinator.

love the seashell xmas tree idea!! I think I will keep it a secret that we may get a visit from Santa!

Just remembered, and wanted to let you know, that Christmas lights are not allowed in the staterooms. They are considered a fire hazard.

 

Glad you liked the seashell tree idea. It was cute.

We too are on the 12/18 Star out of Tampa and I was hoping to use removable adhesive Christmas decorations on our door with our first names on them so that we could more easily find our room. I hope they don't make us remove them! I can't imagine why they would object. :confused: We have used door decorations on other (non NCL) cruises this way and it was nice to see these decorations as the hallways are quite boring.

We were on the Epic last year and had no problem with door decorations. Hopefully it won't be a problem this year.
