I'm sure the cruise ship will be decorated to a fare-the-well, but for your cabin(s) strings of lights, maybe a wreath or two and Xmas stockings should lend a festive air.
crochet snow flakes or trees, or mini stuff pillow like ornaments.
oh and pompom trees
Hello Anita Herweck :) HOW FUN! Bring some glue, various shades of green craft (or construction) paper, some tape and and pencil or crayons, and make a wreath or tree branches from outlines of the hands of family members (I should think there would be a way to cut them out; maybe they sell a pair of scissors at the ship's shop, or if nothing else carefully tear them out) I am posting links below for you to look through and I am POSTIVIE you will find some things to make and take along with you for your Christmas family cruise:

Garland, make lots and lots of garland, can be draped over anything, and you can add battery operated lights for a festive flair! The room stewards are gonna love you! 😊
Take a pack of foil garland, and a christmas stocking for each.... less is more room for your shorts and bathing suits.
