Need sweater at night on ship?

[lisas414]

I usually tend to be on the cooler side, and I was wondering how dinner was at night? Would I need to bring a jacket or sweater or will I be fine. Do they usually keep the air really cool on the ship?

I would definitely bring a sweater, after all, if it's too warm you can always take it off.

and it is never too warm; the ladies, bless them, always complain (some of them, before I get flamed) of being too cold as they sit there in a strapless or sleevless dress and the poor guys are coat and tie. the newer the ship, the better the a/c works and therefore the "colder" it is. bring a couple of sweaters!:)

I have always needed a sweater or a light jacket out on the decks at night.. the wind is quite cool on those very windy decks at night. and the AC seems extra cold at night to me.. I tend to chill very easily, but on the other hand I cannot stand the heat.. (get nauseated and ill in the heat) but yet I still sail to carib.. go figure.. Oh well, I certainly will not die, I seek out shady spots and AC'd excursions when ever possible :)

 

I know .. I just can't get right :eek:

But we have a great time nonethe less.. and you will as well... enjoy!:)

I agree. Take a sweater or jacket. I've been on cruises where I never used it and others where I was freezing even with long sleeves and a jacket or sweater. You just never know!

After having a bad experience on one ship where the ac was full blast all the time, I now always take a sweater. Sometimes, I don't need it but it is good to know I have it, just in case. I've also noticed that bad sunburns always make me extremely sensitive to the ac. I have a light, black sweater that always fits in my over-packed luggage.

leoandhugh.....I'm one of the cold ladies!!!! I can't for the life of me understand why womens formal wear consists of sleevless/strapless gowns while as you say the men are in coats, long sleeves, ties, ect.... I always take a wrap but, a wool jacket would usually feel better.:D

All my evening outfits have some sort of jacket, every ship we have been on has been cool or cold in the theatre, dining room etc. Always bring one.

leaoandhugh, this lady won't be flaming you.....imo its never cool enough for me, so no sweaters for me.

I completely agree, I have yet to find a ship where I am not cold. So I tend to bring a wrap for formal nights, a sweater for other evenings & one for the daytime as it's cool then too & lots of times I'll go in the dinng room for lunch or pop in a lounge for a port talk or something & be cold there.

 

PS...love the idea of a wool coat for formal night.

I brought a pashmina with me on the last cruise and ended up using it every night in the dining room, theater and casino areas. I am one of those perpetually cold people :(
