I would purchase another sandisk 16gb just in case you take a lot of images... Enjoy your trip.

I have read mixed reviews on the after market batteries for my Nikon D3300 DSLR, do you have an opinion or advice on these after market replacement batteries for the original EN-EL14A battery?

I've probably bought 50 batteries on eBay over the years and haven't had one failure. That's for Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony and Pentax. I think the only issue is that with certain camera/battery combos the camera battery meter didn't show a reading. That's really not an issue if you're carrying a couple spares. The EL-15's in my 7000/7100 worked fine in the body and grip.

More memory cards. You might not need that long lens. Having a way to transfer images to a drive or computer would give you extra security. A couple of years ago, I got a very small Acer netbook with a 325GB hard drive. I also brought a small external hard drive, and I left all the images on the cards till I got home.

Definitely take another memory card, and maybe a couple of batteries! I think a cruise is a 3 battery minimum! Enjoy!

I always take a battery charger on cruises.

If you can,swap the 55-200 for the 55-300; also get one more battery and one more SD card.

I bought a pair of replacement batteries from Cameta 12 years ago and they're still going strong -- I have these two plus the original Nikon battery that came with the camera. I alternate each of these every time I change batteries and I see no performance difference between them.

Is your cruise to the Caribbean or to Norway?
Either way, it's a long trip. I'd be trying to figure out what clothes to pack this time of year.

Enjoy your trip. Your lenses are satisfactory. A friend went to Europe with 16-50mm and 55-210mm lenses on a Sony a6000 mirrorless crop sensor camera. Took beautiful photos. I've heard weather in Norway can be unpredictable. You may want to bring some waterproof type of covering to protect your camera while there.
