Packing for our cruise

We have officially 2 days to go before we board our plane to Venice, Italy, where we will be starting our 12-day Mediterranean cruise. Which means I'm finally allowed to start packing. (I'm saying "allowed", because The Boyfriend had to stop me about 2 weeks ago when I asked him to take down my suitcase from the closet...)

I have to confess, I love preparing and packing for a trip. My inner OCD freak finally gets the chance to run free and make as many lists as she can possible handle, get as much information as Google can give her, organize, prepare, arrange...

What you see here in the picture, are the items that I'm taking with me on my trip. Now, we might have a little space-in-my-suitcase issue, because this doesn't even include my makeup, toiletries, underwear and formal dresses... but I'm sure this little problem can be solved if a few of my things accidentally falls into The Boyfriend's suitcase...

I'm probably packing too much, as we girls tend to do, but this is my first time on a cruise, and I don't know what to expect. I'd rather be over-prepared and avoid that I-wish-I-had-packed-those-white-jeans situation. That reminds me, I need to pack my white jeans...

Have you ever been on a cruise? Any tips for a first time cruiser?
