Other items that you may need.

Don't forget your suntain lotion and after suncare lotion. These items can be pricey on the ship. Take a small first aid kit. You never know when you may need it for blisters after walking all those great ruins. A reuseable water bottle can also come in handy to take water when you are going on shore. In some places you should not be drinking the water, always ask first. Some people take their own snorkle gear. In most cases if your are snorkling on an excursion the gear is supplied. The excursion description will give you this information. Don't forget to take another pair of glasses if you need them just in case.

    On my first cruise I definately overpacked. I has so much that I did not need. Now I am going on my 6th or 7th cruise and I don't plan to bring much. 2 or 3 bathing suits with cover ups. 5 pair of shorts with tops and two dress ups. thats it.

    On my first cruise, I only took two swimsuits. That wasn't nearly enough. They take forever to dry in your cabin bathroom!
    Also, a light sweater or some sort of all purpose wrap - even if cruising in summer. The dining rooms on ships can get chilly, and if a storm is whipping up, as they do in the tropics, a wrap comes in handy for an evening stroll on an open deck.

    Yes agree a sweater or wrap is good to take - I ususally take a couple white and black depending on length of cruise so mix it up a bit. Thanks for your comments.
