monapam1 Posted June 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I am taking a Caribbean cruise in August. Since it will be hot, I will be packing typical summer clothes. But, I get chilled easily, and wonder if, when inside the ship, will I get cold when the a/c is cranking? Any suggestions for a light sweater/wrap/jacket that pairs well with summer styles? Thanks!

Rare aungrl Posted June 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I have a cream-colored pashmina - a largish one - that I always take on warm weather cruises. It looks fine with all my summer clothes, and I need it in the main dining rooms, the theaters, etc. almost all the time. I got mine several years ago on Amazon, I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie1229 Posted June 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I always bring a large scarf/wrap and usually more than one on any trip! I have several that go with many of my clothes I bring, and are work horses! They also help in making the same dress or outfit look different if you want to wear the same thing on multiple occasions - which I do. I would not scrimp on buying a cheap scarf but spend a little more money on a good quality wrap. A lightweight cashmere scarf will last a long time if taken care of and keeps you warm too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camella Posted June 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I like the pashminas also but I have a LOT of short sleeved and 3/4 sleeved lightweight sweaters. I live in Miami so I always like to have something for my shoulders. It's super hot and humid here in the summer - much like the Caribbean and when the a/c is cranking I get cold, especially on my shoulders. I love the short sleeved sweaters I got from Macy's - the brand is JM collection. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - a wrap can look a little dressy during the day and depending on activities, a short-sleeved or even lightweight long sleeved sweater can be perfect. I usually wear a lightweight jacket/sweater on the plane and pack a couple of wraps/scarves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurab23 Posted July 6, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I like the idea of a wrap but I am only 5 ft tall and the wraps always look too big on me. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 6, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I am on ship now in the Med and the public venues have been cold to freezing, so much so I have gone to Guest Relations multiple times. Evenings I ALWAYS have a cardigan with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura I'm short too--the secret is getting a wrap that is a lightweight, drapable fabric and more of a rectangle than a square. Too much bulk is a problem when you are petite. Look for a lightweight silk or cashmere blend rectangular scarf. Edited July 17, 2022 by broker1217 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
