VenHen Posted September 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi, we are boarding the Norwegian Sun on 31 of october for a 21 day transatlantic cruise. We are flying in from the Caribbean and don’t have jackets , sweaters or other warm clothing Do they sell these onboard? Our sizes are 2 XL.

Rare www3traveler Posted September 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Given that the cruise ahead of you is coming from Seattle, Washington ending the Alaskan season, I doubt that their Alaskan merchandise would still be available. It might be packed away in storage for the next season or have been off loaded in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robkat Posted September 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Omigosh! Yes, the shipboard stores will have sweaters and, probably, light windbreakers. But they'd probably cost a fortune. It looks like this cruise is departing from Miami, so if you were going in there a day before, if it was at all possible, you'd probably have more choices and much better prices if you could pick up some warm weather clothing there. If you could get to a Walmart, or a Target, or any major department store, you'd find more to pick from, without over-spending on clothes that you might not need again. PS. We live in south Florida, and all the stores are now full of warm weather clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I would think that you would be better off travelling a day earlier and doing your shopping on land before boarding. Probably more choice and cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellbelle28 Posted September 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I'd say that isn't a good risk to take. Sizing is often limited. If you're in the Caribbean now, maybe do some online shopping and purchase warmer clothes and down jackets that can be compressed tightly for packing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A store that is near the port of Miami (about 2 miles), and might have things you need is: Ross Dress for Less, 234 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took one of the last Alaskan cruises one year and aside from a couple of hooded sweatshirts there was nothing in the ship store. No gloves, cold weather hats or warm socks.

Given that the Sun is headed for the Atlantic where in Autumn temperatures will bottom out into the 40s overnight, I should think she will be stocked again before she departs.

Swells1 Posted September 28, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2022 OP can always order what they’re looking for from Amazon and have it shipped to their pre-cruise hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I would recommend. I would actually even go so far as to order from Amazon before departure, so you can ensure sizing is correct.

(It has a free shuttle from MIA to hotel) Directly across the street is a Burlington store that has a wide range of clothing for all ages. I'm confident you would be able to find something suitable there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
