I wasn't a huge fan of cruising with my ds. He was 7 months and it was way too much work.

10 months might be better, less dependent on formula/babyfood

Which ship?
The problem with cruises and taht young is the diapers and swimming. They are not allowed in the water. But Allure had a baby pool. We spent most time there but dh would take older dd in the big pools. And we would switch off. So just beware that you will probably not be able to go in the pool together unless the baby is sleeping. Ours friends baby would sleep in the stroller and they would go to the adult only section and put him in a spot they could see and goin together. That worked well.

We took diapers, water diapers, sunblock, a few bathing suits/rash guards, sunglasses, clothes for the week and some cover ups. We did not need formula but would bring that and bottles if needed. Baby food if needed. We did bring forks and spoons with us. A few snacks and their sippy a cups. Pacis and loveys blankets. We asked for a pack and play but they forgot it but it would have been to tight anyway. We made due with the bed and pullout. A umbrella stroller. Do not bring a huge stroller. There's not a ton of room In the cabins.
