As inexpensive as SD and MicroSD cards have become, I suggest using the largest capacity card(s) your camera will allow. Then you just don't have to worry about space issues regardless how many JPG, RAW, or videos you shoot. I just returned from a week long trip with an Olympus TG-5 where I shot 46 videos, and 454 highest resolution JPG plus RAW stills. The entire 7 days resulted in 925 files totaling 11.8 GB... leaving 52.2 GB of unused space on my 64 GB SD card. That card will hold over 3100 highest resolution JPG+RAW images. You would have to shoot about 440 shots a day for 7 days to fill it. If you really want security from card failure, take along a WD Wireless Passport drive and copy your files to it at the end of each day.

Just for the record, I believe the paranoia about card failure is simply unjustified. I have so many in various devices it would take considerable effort to count them, and have never had one give me a problem.

there's always the first time for you to have a card fail. I've had 2 fail over the years, both good San Disk cards; fortunately I didn't lose any photos of great value. But I'd certainly hate to record a few thousand pics onto a 64 GB card, then have it fail.

I would never go on a cruise so I don't know. I did spent 2 weeks vacation in France and 2 weeks in Vietnam. I brought 2 32GB card but I didn't fill up 1 card. I shot only about 500 shots each trip.
