I'd rather be crusing

A member of our cruise group who is taking her first cruise asked for advice on things to pack. Others offered legitimate advice, but unfortunately my mind doesn't work that way.
I gave a little thought to the question and came up with this list of items that a first-time Disney Cruiser might not know to pack:
10. An appetite that allows you to go to dinner, even though you hit the buffet less than an hour ago.
9. Camera lenses that don’t capture the 10 pounds you will gain.
8. The 5 novels you mistakenly think you will read during all the quiet hours at sea when there is absolutely nothing else to do onboard.
7. An extra suitcase of sufficient size to allow you to pack and transport home your entire dinner service team.
6. Binoculars to see distant islands and if that couple really is doing that down there on that deck 5 verandah.
5. Verandah railing and chair sanitizer.
4. You can save space for your St. Maarten excursion by packing only the minimum clothing required by The Club at Orient Bay…and sunblock.
3. Extra limbs that you can trade in to settle your onboard bar tab.
2. Low expectations on the size of your stateroom. They call it that because it is barely of adequate size for a person to lie in state.
1. Your personal toothbrush/under-tipped-room-steward-crevice-cleaning tool.
Please add your own suggestions. Have a little fun with this.
