Ahhh I hate you! jk. I LOVE cruises, you are so lucky! What cruise line/where to/ how many days are you going?
Make sure you bring nice clothes for dinner (if your cruise has a formal night, you can even wear a prom dress!), lots of books/magazines to read by the pool, money--there's lots of shopping on the shop and on the islands, and hmm... the usual crap you would bring for a trip. I can't think of anything else out of the ordinary. But if I do, you'll know I'll comment!
Have fun! Once you cruise, you'll never want to go on any other type of vacation! =P

i'm goping with my mom and my brother. we're going to belize, key west, cape canavral, and 2 other places on the Carnival Glory line. we'll be gone for 7 days. so it'll be awesome. we do have a formal night- but my prom dresses are a little much to pack. lol. i'm looking forward to that. is it just one night? or every night?
harry potter comes out that day. i hope i can get it in the airport. that would be fun to read by the pool.

Wow awesome ports! I've been to Key West out of those places, but that's it. They all start looking the same, but it's a good same lol.
Usually, atleast the cruises Ive been on, have 1 or 2 formal nights, usually the days which you're at sea the whole day. People get REALLY dressed up--like black gloves, sparkles, tuxs, etc. Then they usually have semi-formal nights, which are a little less dressy (duh hehe) and then casual nights, where you can wear a nice sun dress, or even capris sometimes. So in other words, cruises require packing a BUTTLOAD of clothes, because you need regular every day stuff, swim stuff, and then dinner/evening stuff. But it's all worth it.
