What will they let you take and do they allow you to photograph on the ship and where can you do so? Crews quarters or anywhere?

Mamiya 7 (80mm plus 43mm, that´s what you want to hear, right? ;-)).
Changing bag, daylight tank, developer. Film!

BTW, there's a 43mm lens FS in the classifieds

Honestly I am flabbergasted why you want to screw around on the boat when you are making stops in all those interesting places..."tourist" photography is kind of a stupid term, you can make interesting and compelling shots even of tourist attractions. Regardless, I sure as heck wouldn't bring all that. One camera and a couple lenses, maybe an extra small 35mm camera if you want.

I'd bring the Mamiya 7 with the 80mm and a 65 or maybe the 50mm. Everyone goes nuts over the 43mm, but I rarely see it used effectively.

Good question, I have heard crew are to work and disappear.

They normally do not mingle with the passengers while on board outside of their job. They may be on tours with passengers on shore but they usually stay together with other crew members on the same tour. You ID them by watching where they go when re-boarding since the embarkation doors are usually by an entrance to the crew quarters.

I'd bring something to numb me..

Roundshot 35 and an small point and shot digital. Portable Canon selphy printer (you can send some souvenirs shots to friends and family from around the world). Start a diary of the trip and record all kind of feelings, good or bad. Bring several memory cards and send them back home with backups just in case.

And for god sakes, first and foremost, ENJOY THE TRIP !!!
