  1. The places you're visiting are all warm places --- so most definitely summer clothes - tees, shorts, sandals - (and of course, some dressy outfits  for the formal dinners at the ship/for dancing/show nights/etc.).  Better still, visit the website of your cruiseline - click on your ship and you'd see exactly what nights are formal nights; and if the ship has self-service laundrymat (older ships still has this amenity).

    Comfy shoes, rubber shoes, bottled water (ship provides tap water only), sun block lotion (+ other cosmetics/personal hygiene stuff), your usual meds (over the counter types), prescription meds, if any; exercise wear (most ships have fitness room/jogging trail), etc., etc...and camera/video cam/IPOD/cell/& whatever high tech stuff that you can't live without.  Yes, the ship would have an internet cafe.

    ENJOY!  Have a safe trip.............


  2. lots of sun block,cool clothing also some insect repellent or some after bite just in case,hat to protect from the sun good luck and have fun

  3. depends on the season ur coming. if its now, a parka is a must. then, swimingsuit is a must too. snickers, jeans, tshirts and a nice sweater. dont forget ur boxers!!!

  4. I went on a cruise to Alaska, and it was great! Well make sure you bring a lot of clothes, doing laundry on the ship is quite expensive. You'll need a bathing suit, and perhaps some formal wear, because there are some dinners that need dressing up. Don't forget the basic neccessities, toothbrush, washcloth, lotion, facewash, towels, razor, shampoo, sanitary items. Just basically pack what you would to any other trip. A camera! And always pack extra things, just in case. Hope you have fun!

  5. Even though it's supposed to be warm, be sure to bring a jacket or sweats.  I always check weather.com before I go.  They have yearly averages on weather & rainfall.  Be sure to include something to read.  Days at sea are great for that.
