Used to be able to buy Collapsing Decorations (Go Flat) which would be easy for you. -

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. -

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:https://za.pinterest.com/theredbarnchild/christmas-program/?lp=truehttp://diybuddy.co/diy-christmas-christmas-decor-ideas/THIS particular item is out of stock but I am sure, if you like it, you can think of a way to re-create it with your own special flair:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/181692166193377032/here is a slightly different version with instructions on how to make it:http://www.hometalk.com/diy/craft/wreaths/santa-bow-wreath-wall-hanging-11467083?se=fol_new-20151203-1&slg=597464fbfac87d8685e476fa7ce791ee-531032THIS link has a VERY portable CHRISTMAS TREE idea you could pack in your luggage ;) along with some other ideas that are too cute NOT to post:http://www.thebudgetdecorator.com/easy-holi-diy-projects-from-the-best-bloggers-around/GRAB PAPER and glue (doesn't take much room) AND MAKE SOME OF THESE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_r7EJevy3oOR here are links that will make your head spin (mine feels that way LOL):https://www.google.com/search?q=DIY+packable+Christmas+decorations+to+make&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS612US612&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBt67Gla3WAhVk5IMKHWuiCKQQsAQIJQ&biw=1366&bih=638I am having a BALL looking at all of these -- wayyyy to much fun :D I am leaving now LOL ...

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.
