The below photos are from our 14 Day Hawaii Cruise on the Carnival Splendor in January 2019. On that cruise we were on Deck 6. On this cruise we were on the opposite side of the ship on Deck 9, The Lido Deck. However, our Balcony Staterooms on both cruises were so identical that I did not bother to post new photos of our stateroom to this page. They were literally so identical that it would add no new information to my report to post additional photos here.

My computer set up on the desk in our stateroom.

Whenever we cruise I always bring along several magnetic hooks that I purchased at Amazon.com . Almost all of the walls in ship staterooms are made of steel. These hooks provide a lot of convenient extra hanging space. They are pretty strong and I think can hold at least 10 pounds.

Even the bathroom door and the stateroom door are made of steel. I use hooks on the back of the bathroom door to provide hanging for more than just the two hooks provided. I like to use a couple of hooks on the back of the stateroom door to remind us to take our Sail & Sign® Card Lanyards with us when we leave the room.

This has to be the first ship we have ever been on that had a vent in the stateroom door. I often like to keep our balcony door open so that we can hear the ocean and breath the fresh ocean air in our room. But that can create a huge wind tunnel under the stateroom door due to a difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the ship. I solve that problem by placing a bath towel all along the crack to stop the breeze. But this door also has a vent. I taped a couple of pieces of paper over the vent to stop that from becoming a wind tunnel. At first the paper stuck to the vent even without any tape but would then sometimes fall off. Tape fixed that problem. On cruises I always bring along tape, a small stapler, scissors, wine opener, box cutter, and a few other items that I find very useful on a cruise.
