Travel Tips
There are washing machines available for your use on a cruise ship. I would recommend bringing seperates that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits. You can wash, dry and iron any of the peices that need attention. If you don't want to do it yourself, they generally offer this service on cruise ships - send it out in the morning, get it back in the evening. In addition you'll really only need one or two dressier outfits for the dining room. Don't bring every pair of shoes you own, bring just 3 or 4 pairs.
Others
you will be on a ship with water and beaches. You only need like 4 sets of clothes and 2 nice outfits for dinner on a couple nites. The other times you are wearing a bathing suit with maybe a t-shirt and some shorts over it.
One handy tip to use for packing, is fold all your bulky stuff (sweaters, jeans, etc) flat at the bottom of your case. Take your smaller items and roll them (T-shirts, socks, etc), and that will save a lot of space. Enjoy the cruise!
Roll them. My dad used to teach us to roll our clothes like for the military. You'd be amazed how much you can fit in a suitcase, & it actually helps keep them from wrinkling.
For example, for shirts - Fold it in half, & then roll from the top to the bottom. Pants are the same.
take more suitcases
put just clothes in your suitcase and then take a book bag or tote and put tooth brush jewelery swim suit sun screen cell phone ECT.
I find the best way to pack a lot of stuff into a small amount of space is to use zip lock or other sealable bags....you fold your clothes....put them in the bags until they are pretty full (still able to be closed) and then kneel on them to get every bit of air out....seal the bag while kneeling on it and you should be able to stuff a lot more clothes in that limited amount of space....

...the other guy is right too....bring a couple swimsuits...and you won't need as many clothes. But i always bring extra because i'ld rather have them than not.

Have fun on your cruise!
