Taking a cruise can be a "once in a lifetime" experience, and capturing your memories will ensure enjoyment for years to come. You might think that mental pictures are all you need to bring back memories of your dream cruise vacation, but how can you hearken back to that happy time in your life when the inevitable effects of aging start to manifest themselves?
When bringing a camera to the cruise, make sure that "ol' reliable" -- your 35mm or perhaps a disposable -- stays home. These old clunkers can't produce consistent results. Invest in a nice digital camera that is lightweight and "point and shoot". These not only take excellent pictures but you can view your photos right away and won't have to wait to develop the film. It also makes it much easier to share those photos with family and friends, particularly over the Internet once you've returned from the cruise. If you have the extra money, you can ante up and buy a more expensive camera which allows for video coverage. Since chances are you'll be snapping away arbitrarily and filtering out the good ones once you're home, bring an extra memory card or two.
You can get the entire family involved in taking photos. If your kids are old enough, let them have the camera to take pictures. Disposable cameras can be handed out to the little tykes, so they can take their own pictures while still being able to frolic and go their merry way. If the family's activities would include some form of watersports, even if it's just fishing, you can get the little'uns their own waterproof disposable cameras, so even if it gets wet, there's no loss of fidelity on the pictures.
There are people who exercise trepidation when taking pictures as it makes them feel like some wide-eyed tourist, but then again, isn't everybody on a cruise a tourist? Muster the courage to ask other people to take photos of you and your loving family. Take pictures with the crew; they won't mind since they're used to it. Take candid pictures of your family enjoying themselves and enjoying the cruise. You might want to focus on the ocean view and the panoramic surroundings, but those indelible memories always have something to do with family.
A cruise is a perfect place to write in a journal. Just make sure your handwriting is legible so that future generations can read your Cousteau-esque adventures in the coming years. We're not really fan of high-tech options, but blogging online or on your laptop is also possible if you want to document your fluvial adventures.
Collect all sorts of bric-a-brac from your trip, such as matchbooks, a Don Ho tribute poster (for Hawaiian cruises, natch), menus, etc. Though they may not be appreciated right away, they will provide for lasting memories.
Making a scrapbook is very popular for keeping memories alive. There are many ways to design a scrapbook, but the most popular would certainly include photos and the aforementioned odds and ends, or maybe a few handwritten, memorable quotes from your journal. Just like your handwritten journal (assuming you chose the former option), your scrapbook can give you years of reminiscing, and can also be handed down to future generations.
Anybody going on a cruise is sure to enjoy himself or herself in every way. You'll want something you can share to your grandchildren once they come along (if they haven't come along yet), so taking photos, writing a journal and collecting trinkets and souvenirs can all help keep the memories alive for decades.
