Remedy for no Ocean View:
Buy a cheep wave machine at one of those Liquidator Odd Lot places
Get a cheep curtain rod and d.s to match the ones you see on the ship
online.
When you get to your inside:
1) Set up the wave machine.
2) Put the curtains on the curtain rod.
3) Affix the curtains and rod such that it frames the tv.
4) Tune in to one of the ship's channels that shows the sea.
Viola! You have a virtual Ocean View room! :-)
A virtual Balcony Room takes only a few steps more.
5) Obtain the deck from a Barbie's Malibu Dream House.
6) Obtain some small figures.
7) Affix the deck from Barbie's Malibu Dream House to the lower front of
the tv.
8) Put the figures on the deck. Small Baywatch action figures might be
good. Careful don't let Pam Andersen block your view of the sea. Don't
use Teletubbies I mean you don't want cabin visitors to think you are
totally twisted. ;-)
There you go, with a little imagination you can have an Ocean View or
Balcony room for the price of an inside. If it works, post it to Martha
Stewart's Blog.
