The main difference for a cruise and a regular vacation is that you will probably need more formal clothes than you normally would take, or whatever the dress code is for your ship. Be sure to bring some "sun" clothes if you will be heading somewhere sunny, as well as bathing suits. Also, a jacket may be needed at night, it can get a little windy and/or chilly.

Be sure to bring things like sunscreen, camera, extra film or memory cards, bring some money, extra shoes just in case, etc. Don't over pack though, the rooms can be small if you are in a standard room, and even some suites.

As far as what to do on the ship, that really depends on what boat you will be on. There are usually tons of activities. Be sure to go to the shows, there are usually tours and things like that, anytime you are able to meet with the captain, that is always pretty interesting, also, be sure to try all the restaurants, they usually all offer something great. If you don't usually get to experience, be sure to take advantage of room service.

Other than that, just be sure to have a great time.

And don't forget, your passport/birth certificate and any documents that are required are the most important things to bring. The other things can be purchased later if you need them, but anything you have to have to board is not a good thing to leave.

Have a great time!

Bring 2-3 formal outfits. 2-3 swimsuits. Something waterproof to carry all your money and ID's with you. Keep an eye on the cruise itineraries. There will be lots of fun things happening on the boat that you won't want to miss. Plan your excursions ahead of time, but don't necessarily book them with the cruise line. They take a cut of the profit making it more expensive.

Bring the regulars you would on any vacation as well as an alarm (unless you just want wake-up calls). Also, check your cruises dress code for dinner, and make sure you have enough pieces for that. Bring good walking shoes, and other than that, nothing you wouldn't normally bring. They will provide alomost anything else that you would need, and more!

If you like to drink soda, I'd bring a twelve pack....many people do. I was dying for Diet Cokes, and they cost about three dollars per drink without refills.
Make sure you know what the tipping policy is, and how it works.
Bring sunscreen and sunglasses.
Bring cheap waterproof cameras that you can get at WalMart with you, or pay triple the price for them.
Have fun.

Just check out the newspaper they deliver to your cabin every day. Then just do your favorite things. You can't do it all. If you want to do any shore excursions, book them the first day, if you wait, they will all be booked up. If you change your mind, before the excursion day, you can usually get your money back. If you go to shore 3 or 4 days in a row, dont book excusions for every single day. Just go into town or have lunch or browse in the shops on some days. Ask people at lunch or breakfast, what they're doing in port days. People who have cruised before love to share their experiences. I could write a book, but you need your sleep. Have a blast. Bon Voyage!!!

Right now the funniest thing on the Cruise is Katie Holmes and she is probable the funniest thing on him right now for him if you wait 9 years your turn may just come.
