So I was wondering if Christmas lights are allowed on the ship, both of the plugged in vs battery variety. Does anyone know or have any experience? I looked at their webpage and didn't see anything prohibiting it. I just want to hang some small ones like these below just for fun.

Kudo to you for at looking but you didn't look in the right place. If you check Decorating Your Stateroom and Door you will find it is not allowed. Here is the copy:

Decorating Your Stateroom Door and Stateroom

 

We recognize some of our guests like to decorate their staterooms and we, too, love seeing your creative decorations. However, for safety reasons, we must ask that you abide by the following guidelines for decorating your stateroom door as well as the interior of your stateroom.

In the interest of guest and crew safety, the following stateroom decoration policies will be instituted and strictly enforced:

  • Decorations may consist only of fire retardant materials. Please note that items sprayed with fire retardant spray are not acceptable
  • Decorations may only be placed on the stateroom door and not the surrounding frame, walls or railings
  • You may use magnets and Command Strips but no adhesives such as tape or glue that may leave a residue
  • Over-the-door hanging organizers must hang inside the stateroom, must also be of fire retardant material and cannot damage the door
  • No decorations of any kind are allowed on balconies
  • No decorations or items may be placed over light fittings or fixtures. This may restrict the airflow and cause the item to ignite
  • No string lights of any kind are allowed

For the safety of all guests and crew, any decorations not made of fire retardant material or deemed flammable, will be removed and no compensation will be provided.

 

Stateroom decorations purchased via our Fun Shops online are made of fire retardant materials. For more information, please visit www.carnival.com/funshops if you are interested in making a purchase.

...items brought on board the vessel and not supplied by the Company containing any kind of heating element...

 

 

 

Besides the policy section specifically prohibiting strings of lights for cabin decoration, I would say that this item in the prohibited list could also be interpreted as any type of light which would generate heat.
