Packing for a cruise is similar to packing for a land-based vacation in a similar climate, with a few exceptions.
Step1
Assess your wardrobe several weeks before your cruise. Choose a couple of colors that work together so that what you bring can be easily mixed and matched, then try on everything you plan to wear together to ensure each item is suitable and doesn't need any cleaning, repairs or alterations.
Step2
Make a list of items you need to pack and buy any items you don't have (sandals, bathing suit, rain slicker).
Step3
Pack comfortable, layerable clothes for daytime. On most ships, shorts and t-shirts are fine for tropical cruises; your "causal Friday" outfits should work for most evenings.
Step4
Bring one bathing suit and a cover-up, but not beach towels they're provided.
Step5
Depending on the climate, you'll most likely need three pairs of shoes: rubber-soled shoes for walking on the deck, one pair of sandals or other shoes comfortable for walking in port, and one pair of dress shoes for evening.
Step6
Pack at least one pair of underwear and socks (unless it's a trobpical cruise) for each day of the cruise.
Step7
Add a hat, travel clock, sunglasses and batteries or chargers for your camera and other electronic devices.
