Most important? Comfortable walking shoes! I went on 2 cruises and on the last one, I made the mistake of being fashionable instead of comfortable and wearing sandles. Big mistake, my feet were covered in blisters. I was miserable everytime I had to put shoes on.

I've included a link to a list for what to pack for the cruise.

But in general, you won't want to forget anything you usually use, swimming suit, regular clothes, formal clothes, maybe some books or a laptop, etc. Anything like shampoos, curling irons, hair dryers, etc. are a good idea to bring as well. I prefer my own products to what is provided on the ship.

Money is very important. Don't forget to bring money for tips at the end if you haven't pre-paid. Some small bills for room-service are also a good idea. Also, a credit card for on-board purchases with your room-key. Travelers checks may also be something to consider.

Don't forget your travel documents, including cruise paperwork, air tickets, reservation information, I.D, birth-certificate, etc. Also, have any contact information you may need, i.e. travel agent number, town car company, cruise line, hotel, airline, etc.

Don't forget your camera, and some extra memory. There will be lots of pictures you will want to take, so you definitely don't want to forget it.

Some medicine for sea sickness is also a smart idea, especially for a first cruise. You really can't predict what the water will be like, but it is better to be safe than sorry. I personally like it when the waves are high (I know, I'm crazy) but you don't want to ruin your cruise.

These are just a few things. I think the link will help you quite a bit.

Try to pack as little as possible. Cruise ship staterooms can be small, depending on what you have. They can close in on you pretty quick, especially if you don't have a balcony or porthole window to bring some light into the room and open it up a little. There isn't much room, so if you have a few people in your room, you don't want to take up a lot of space with luggage.

Hope this helps!

And most importantly, have a great cruise! Cruising is wonderful, you will have a great time!

If you are going to shop, all the shops in downtown Nassau close around 5:30pm and all day Sunday

If you are going alone, don't forget your swimsuit and a cute party dress. If you are taking a child that is not yet potty trained make sure and take enough diapers you can't buy them on board the ship and good luck finding them in port. Have lots of fun and don't forget to experience all the cruise ship has to offer what a great time!!!!
