Laura and I were thinking about doing a "big boat ride " during Spring Break. I'm a college teacher and I'm off work then. While I love the time off the prices then really are high but what are Ya gonna do ? ... We're Gonna head on over to Florida and party at Destin during Spring Break. It's good to see that people still get in the water during the Winter isn't it !!! 
Anyway Some folks we know say that if your going to Scuba while on a cruise then bust out of the gate and head for the Scuba shop to get your gear when the boat docks. 'Kinda like people seeking a berth in the best spot on board a crowded boat for a Flower Gardens Trip... Get there first !!!! Some of the shops will up the price if the local vacation trade is brisk then you'll have to settle for what is left of the gear.
I'd say if you know where your going to port then you might want to plan ahead and set up the gear you might need before you get there. Knowing TexDiveGuy though I bet he has already thought that out.
