My DD started cruising around 8.5 months or so, took her first steps at 10 months, and didn't walk well without falling until 12.5 months.
My DS has been cruising since about 8 months, and he is now 9.5 months and not walking yet, though he does stand on his own without holding onto anything for about 15-20 seconds at a time.
