Sort through all of your digital photos from your cruise on your computer. Crop all the photos you want to use, if desired. Print your photos on good quality photo paper using your printer.

Put your pictures in chronological order. Make one pile of pictures for the food on the cruise and another for the nightly entertainment. Make yet another pile for pictures of you relaxing by the pool and another at the ports you visited. Lay each day or event out separately in piles. Work with one pile at a time.

Cut a sheet of scrapbooking paper to match the length of the scrapbooking page, but much narrower. Write out any funny or memorable stories on that sheet. Lay this to one side of the page. Cut the edges with scrapbooking scissors that create zigzag or other patterned cuts.
