Dec Eastern Caribbean Cruise Question

[pls5286]

My husband and I are cruising on the Eastern Caribbean in Dec of this year. What type of clothes do you pack? Will we need to pack shorts and t-shirts as well as jeans and long sleeve shirts/jackets?

Off the ship your weather will likely be warm enough for short. However, from time to time you can have a cold front and you might need long pants and long sleeve shirt at least during the morning hours.

 

My suggestion is as the cruise nears to check the weather forecasts.

Dec in eastern Caribbean is usually warm enough for shorts and t shirts during the day, but I would bring a pair of pants and jacket for the evening and an occasional cool day.

If you are IN the Caribbean, then it's summer year round. If you're also stopping in the Bahamas, then that's more like Florida weather, and can get coolish. Bermuda, too....neither Bermuda or the Bahamas are in the Caribbean, although all cruise lines lump them in with Caribbean destinations.

Not true. Just as an example, NCL doesn't lump them all together.

It should be shorts and t-shirts 90% of the time. No need for jeans and long sleeves until you get back to Florida.

Just did a Caribbean cruise from Port Everglades on December 16th. We wore shorts and short sleeve shirts every day except for the evening dinners.
