ksp819 Posted June 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2018 We will be taking our first Alaska cruise in two weeks!! YAY!! Do many people wear shorts on sea days? Yes!! A lot of people had shorts on even when I thought it was too cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted June 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Yes. I did, just as long as the weather was OK to do so. I only packed one pair and found that was quite sufficient. You will see people wearing shorts in ports as long as it is comfortable to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted June 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2018 In all my Alaska cruises (over 60), nope, never on sea days, since I spend a good deal of my time outside scenery/wildlife viewing. :) It can be darn cold. I don't wear them anyways, due to my preference of being out doors and the bugs. in port/land :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted June 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2018 FWIW, currently on Radiance in Alaska. I find the ship warm at times in certain spots & could easily wear the one pair of shorts I brought (though I haven’t, just jeans & a t-shirt if I’m warm). I see plenty of others in shorts though so I’d say it’s personal preference, temp on the ship, etc. If you like to wear shorts to be comfy when it’s nice but not necessarily hot out, bring a pair if you have room.

reallyitsmema Posted June 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We sailed Radiance on May 25th and we were in shorts on our last sea day. We saw people in shorts on the ship and in port. We also so people dressed for a blizzard in port and on the ship. I would bring at least one pair of shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herfnerd Posted June 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We sailed last September and while we didn't wear shorts, so plenty of people that did - saw quite a few in the hot tub and outdoor pool as well on our first sea day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PATRLR Posted June 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Someone up thread said "no" but then acknowledged that they seldom do wear shorts. I, on the other hand, wear shorts frequently and hence wore them a lot on the cruise, and, I spent a decent amount of my time outside on sea days. Everyone's different - if you are from Florida and put your long-johns on when the temp goes below 50, then maybe shorts won't work for you. If you are like me and put shorts on when the temps get above 50, then shorts probably will work for you :) And, of course, it could be 50 and cloudy/damp or 70s and bright sun on your cruise which will make all the difference in your decision.

mapleleaves Posted June 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Good grief, just pack a pair of shorts! It's not like they'll take up half your suitcase ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
