Recent Mercury or Galaxy cruisers...

[chrismch]

Ok, here a unique request. I need room details to get ideas to decorate our cabin for our Christmas cruise. Are any of the walls metal that would take a magnet that could hold lightweight wall decor? Do the windows in the Oceanview cabins have a ledge/sill to place items? Is there open space above the TV to place a 12" tree (or smaller?)? Is there any place in the cabin where I could hang Christmas stockings or garland? Any other ideas to help make our cabin more festive?:p

on galaxy there was dearth of hooks and no metal on the walls. There was no room above the TV.

you'll find that shots 2 & 3 are of the inside of an ocean view cabin on Galaxy, #8086. Taken in June this year.

We sailed in an oceanview room on Galaxy last Christmas. I brought a whole suitcase full of decorations.

 

I used vinyl sicky decorations on the walls and they worked great. I used 3M stick-on cord guides and strung lights around the mirror and window. They were easy to remove when we were done. I also had a two-foot tree (fake, of course) and used duct tape (see, there is a use for it :D) to tape the base of the tree to the small round glass table and covered it with a small cloth tree skirt. The presents were placed under the table. The room was very festive. We placed a piece of Christmas wrapping paper with ribbon to look like a present on the outside of the door.

 

My family was a little concerned that being away from home would not feel like Christmas, so I did my best with the decorations.

 

I was a bit disappointed in the ship decorations. There was a Santa in a sleigh hanging over the dining room, some nice trees here and there and some flowers on the stairs, but overall the ship did not feel very decorated.

Here is a picture of how we decorated our room.

Seagal...thanks for the pix. I am such a Christmas person that I have to bring it with me on the ship. Never heard of stick on cord guides, so I will check on it at the craft stores. Is that what is also holding up the stockings? I am so looking forward to our cruise!:p
