The places you're visiting are all warm places --- so most definitely summer clothes - tees, shorts, sandals - (and of course, some dressy outfits for the formal dinners at the ship/for dancing/show nights/etc.). Better still, visit the website of your cruiseline - click on your ship and you'd see exactly what nights are formal nights; and if the ship has self-service laundrymat (older ships still has this amenity).
Comfy shoes, rubber shoes, bottled water (ship provides tap water only), sun block lotion (+ other cosmetics/personal hygiene stuff), your usual meds (over the counter types), prescription meds, if any; exercise wear (most ships have fitness room/jogging trail), etc., etc...and camera/video cam/IPOD/cell/& whatever high tech stuff that you can't live without. Yes, the ship would have an internet cafe.
ENJOY! Have a safe trip.............

I went on a cruise to Alaska, and it was great! Well make sure you bring a lot of clothes, doing laundry on the ship is quite expensive. You'll need a bathing suit, and perhaps some formal wear, because there are some dinners that need dressing up. Don't forget the basic neccessities, toothbrush, washcloth, lotion, facewash, towels, razor, shampoo, sanitary items. Just basically pack what you would to any other trip. A camera! And always pack extra things, just in case. Hope you have fun!

http://blog.cruisenow.com/cruise-tips-what-to-pack-for-your-cruise/ is one web site that answers your questions but there are a lot to choose from so look around. Carry on anything you want to see again especially paperwork, passport and medicines either in prescription bottles or with an official list from pharmacist. Medical supplies do NOT count toward weight allowances. Cameras should also be carried on. Comfortable shoes are a must. Bring clothes that coordinate and can be layered as weather changes. The tank top on deck can go under your slinky formal suit for dinner. Bring packets of laundry soap. I washed underwear nightly in shower and hand spot washed other things when I could. Had underclothing passport/cash/id small bag to wear on plane and in crowds. Empty water bottle to fill after through security with a carabiner clips to attach to your bag a must. Luggage scale to keep below extra charges. reading material. sunglasses, sunscreen, hat. bug spray. pack your things in plastic bags either by outfit or category so you will know if someone rifled your luggage. Bags useful sorting laundry on trip home. rain gear. You want to enjoy trip so bring essentials but don't overload. Do try different web sites. I loved that cruise.

Even though it's supposed to be warm, be sure to bring a jacket or sweats. I always check weather.com before I go. They have yearly averages on weather & rainfall. Be sure to include something to read. Days at sea are great for that.
