30% chance of rain, would you pack an umbrella?

I would have thought before OP's post that a brelly was just part of any traveler's packing list. :confused:

We each have a "good" poncho that we can use if we need to go ashore in a serious rain but otherwise, the dollar-store ones are good enough. They tuck into luggage and go-ashore bags easily and if we use them and they're soaked we usually toss them into the trash as we reboard the ship.

 

If you need to board a tender a poncho will keep you dry; an umbrella is a nuisance. And not much help either.

 

We've been fine with this approach, cruising in a lot of varied weather. But everyone's comfort level is different.

After careful consideration, we have determined that under these circumstances, there is a 30% chance that we would take an umbrella along.

 

Hope this helps.;)

 

Smooth sailing...
