Here are some of the few things you must pack for a Cruise trip. They are:
Sunglasses: Sunglasses with strong light filtration, to include full UV protection.
Sanitizing wipes or solution. If you purchase any, look for active sanitizing ingredients beyond just alcohol. Most intended for hands have a glycerin base to prevent drying skin. Avoid using them on hard surfaces as they leave an undesirable residue. You'll note numerous uses below and in the separate article "Fundamentals of flying".
Skin protection: Essential for all cruises, the sun not only strikes you from above, but is reflected off the water, e.g., on boat excursions, at beaches. (See full article on sunburn and protection at [2]) Pack and use protection, e.g., adequate clothing, brimmed hats, sunblock with high UV A/B protection ratings. Ship's stores have some such items but charge dearly for them. You'll also find them ashore, but usually at a premium over home stores.
Binoculars. Most views from ship are at a considerable distance.
Duct tape. Useful to make temporary repairs to luggage and other items.
Power Strip. Most smaller cruise ship cabins have one power outlet in the open cabin, and one in the lavatory. A strip becomes useful if you bring a laptop or cellphone (to recharge batteries), electric shaver, etc.
