first you will find that 3 days is too short (I did)

if you are worried about getting sick have lemon water before and with your meals it works great!

pack for 4 days
bring clothes you are comfortable in. For the day casual is fine.

at night you will want to eat in the dinning room every night, there is nothing like it. It was the highlight of the trip! there may be 1 formal night but don't worry bring your best for that night. Men suit coat preferred with tie, ladies as fancy as you dare. Have fun with it. The other nights just no pool wear such as shorts, swimsuits, tee-shirts, etc...

our favorite place if up like quiet is the bow of the ship (front)

remember you ar there to have fun and they staff is there to see to it you do, read the daily planner they give you and even if you don't want to do the activity consider going to watch the others, that may be the funniest show of all!!!!

3 days - not much.
Depending on your location (climate) it would be wise to
pack
A) light tropical clothing (100 % Cotton wear, or Linen) preferably
light colors
Mosquito repellant if land visits are included (important)
some acidophilus tablets or L-CASEI evtl Activated carbon
against stomach bugs
B) If it is the Antarctica you will need warm sweaters and a
Thermo insulated jacket, some gloves and a headwear

In both cases you will need good UV protection sunglasses,
Skin lotion SPF 45 and above.

Shoes according to location / light for tropics / a pair for cold climates.

For three days this should suffice.

It really depends on where you are going.
If it's somewhere hot, then dress like you are going to the beach, but don't forget that at night it does get cold.

Just pack right for the weather.
Google where you are going and look at some of the people around there.
How do they dress?

It all depends on where you're going on what you should pack. If you're going somewhere warm, bring shorts and a t-shirt. The opposite for somewhere cold. But you can expect fun. I had never been on a cruise until this year and I was really nervous to go on it but then I loved it. I'm going on another one in a couple of months. I hope you have a great time.

a durable rope and waterproof torch. just in case your boat will sink you can tie yourself to any floating debris and the torch will make yourself very visible to the other person.

You should expect three days to be too short. It is a good starter, but you will find out that you will need a week to really relax and enjoy everything that the cruise lines have to offer.
