Two places you'll want fill flash on a cruise tour – Ray Ritchie:
From my limited cruise experience, I'd say that if you're trying to document the entire experience, you'll definitely want the flash at least for:
* Shots in the ship dining rooms
* For fill to get some nice portraits at the ship railing with, say, a sunset background.
Best To Take Just One Lens On A Cruise Tour – Dean A Givens shares why it's not a good idea to bring too many lenses on a cruise vacation:
Although I have a decent variety of "pro" and "consumer" lenses from which to choose, I would never consider going on a vacation trip without my 18-200VR–IMHO, there is no other single travel lens with such versatility.
If you are going to be taking typical cruise tours, you will likely find little time for meandering about ("hurry up people, we are walking, we are walking…") much less the time to select and change lenses; thus, the 18-200 makes even more sense.
Dean also shares some tips on camera settings for use with the Nikkor 18-200mm AF-S DX lens in that post.
Should you bring along your external flash on multi-day cruises? – The replies to this forum post point to the short answer: Yes, bring along your Nikon SB-800.
