I've been on a Carnival cruise. You need touristy clothes like shorts and stuff. All the toiletries you normally use. Comfy shoes. Take a beach towel unless you want to pay for one. Sunglasses. Any meds you take. A hat of some sort for the sun. Sunscreen. Pack an empty bag in your suitcase for souveniers. Don't forget your watch so you get back to the boat on time. A swimsuit. Your camera. ID, passport, birth certificate, certificate of marriage (if it applies). A nice outfit for the Captain's Dinner. And a LOT of money and credit cards.

You pay for the cruise, but alcohol drinks are put on the ship card. And anything from the gift shop, photos, or shore excursions.

Have fun, it's a total party!

Bring a hair dryer, curling iron etc., night light, power strip beacuse there's only one plug, a clock as there isn't an alarm clock or any way of telling time. sun lotion, comfortable shoes, bathing suit, clothes and have fun.

I pack the usual vacation stuff like flip flops shorts swimsuit tanning lotion sunscreen hair products and toiletries....
remember to pack formal wear for formal nights pack a sweater cause the lounges and theaters are cold...

I also pack Dramamine,Advil,band-aids,neosporyn aloe gel just in case of sunburn... a night light and a power strip

someone mentioned a beach towel... I never packed one I always use the ships.... just remember to return it or you will be charged for it..

I also bring a lot on 1 dollar bills and five dollar bills for cabs and tips...

Bring some swimsuits for sunbathing or swimming, evening dresses for parties, a formal/casual dress or 2 for formal dining, tees and shorts/jeans if you want to dine in the upperdeck, any casual dress for the other function rooms.

first how long it the cruise? if it is 5 days or shorter there is only one formal night and semi-formal or just dressy, what ever you will have the most fun doing (I love the formal and there is always a mix of those in formal eating in the dinning room that night) 6 days there are 2.

where are you going? how many ports? What are you doing at port? these will all play a small part example if going to Mexico and on a Mayan ruins tour you will want good walking shoes. but pack for number of days with 1 or 2 extra shirts to mix and match.
any beauty supplies you need, (they should have shampoo and soaps)
cameras and extra SD cards/film, assorted chargers

try not to carry anything on the ship when you board, have it all in you luggage except a small purse for id and passport/birth certificate, room are not open till 1:30 so anything you have you keep till then, you will be on the lido deck eating when you get on first.

remember this is a vacation relax and have fun
