What should i pack for my cruise??

Question

i'm 14yrs old

the cruise is in a few weeks from miami to cayman islands, to jamaica then back to miami....its 6 days long but we-re staying in orlando for a few days extra to go amusement parks

i think it has some dance nights

it has a youth camp program where we get taught dance lessons and arts and crafts (what clothes would help me make friends)

i think they have a pool and gym

so can u make a list for me?

i dont want to overpack but i cant risk underpacking!

and its a family cruise but i'm going with cousins so i think they'll pay for most expenses like drinks and stuff so don't say money

thanks!!
