Ok you really dont need as much as you think you do.
Formal nights - if you want to wear a ball gown, go for it, you dont have to. You can make due with a simple black dress, a nice skirt and top, its really not that formal. You will see some in Tuxes and ball gowns while others you will see in suits and pant suits. Nice black slacks and a nice blouse works well too.
During the day - shorts, capris, swimwear, casual comfortable clothes. If in port, it can be really hot and you want to keep that in mind. Cottons are the best. Something breathable and cool. Light colors.
Evenings - non formal nights - casual skirts, nice capris, sun dresses, slacks. The dining room can be cool and so can the show lounges so you might want a little something to toss on if needed, a light jacket or sweater works well.
Shoes - Keep in mind you will do a lot of walking, wear comfy shoes! Even on the ship you do a lot of walking, if you dont wear heels normally, you might want to stick to what you are used to or get them early to practice wearing them, get your feet conditioned. Think about what activities you are going to be doing and pack accordingly.
Remember you can wear things more than once. Bring mix and match, you could get more than one outfit from 1 skirt if you bring a couple of tops. During the day on board ship, swimwear, coverups, be casual and comfortable.
You are going to see a lot of different style clothing. There will be everything from designer to dollar store. Wear what you are comfortable wearing. If you try to keep up with someone else then you are only going to stress yourself and end up with a bunch of stuff you are not comfortable wearing anyway!
There is a blowdryer in the cabin. They do not have nor will provide irons due to fire hazards. You can send it out for ironing or go out and invest in a little travel iron.
There is only 1 outlet in the cabin, if you have a lot to plug in.. might want to pack a power strip.
There is a lot of storage space in the cabins. The closet space is not big but you can make it work if you pack carefully.
Ok we will go into more detail later but I know a few are shopping now so thought we would get some info out there.
