cuterlmt Posted November 6, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2006 We're doing the Western Caribbean on 12/16 for 7 days. All I have is velvet type formal wear, long sleeve, long dress. Will that be too hot and uncomfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyzwdeshut Posted November 6, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think you would be comfortable in the different interior ship areas, but I do think you would be uncomfortable outside in the open (humidity) air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofmeg Posted November 6, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think you would be comfortable in the different interior ship areas, but I do think you would be uncomfortable outside in the open (humidity) air. she has a point-if it is warm outside-you may not want to walk on the promenade deck. I do know this-both of my winter cruises it turned off unusally cool for the caribbean-and that would not have been a problem. You see plenty of velvet on cruises-it may not be "proper" but plenty wear it. My daughter actually wore a velvet shrug this last cruise-she wore it over a satin and sequiened cami and satin floor length skirt as she tends to get chilly in the dinningroom-but it would have been easy for her to remove that outside on deck. I don't worry so much about " fashion rules" as I do comfort. Most people ignore those rules nowadays anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofmeg Posted November 7, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Oh I don't care about fashion. I am all about comfort! Oh you care or you would not posted here. What I meant was those rules about velvet and no white after Labor Day etc.-most people now dress by the weather instead of by Grandma's rules. for ex.-it has only been hitting the high 50's here (Georgia) the last few days-although it is forecast to hit 72 this wkend-but even with it hitting in the 50's you STILL see idiots in shorts! Now this wk.end I may very well have on capris! but I have put my shorts away until April! I dress for the weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviargal Posted November 7, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 7, 2006 IMO, the outfits sound wintery and I would choose differently. You will be in the tropics and IMO the climate and the locale determine the fabric and style that is appropriate. I would not wear linen in the winter in NY nor would I wear velvet in the Caribbean in December. JMPO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhouseinc Posted November 7, 2006 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2006 We're doing the Western Caribbean on 12/16 for 7 days. All I have is velvet type formal wear, long sleeve, long dress. Will that be too hot and uncomfortable? I am also wearing velvet for my January 7th cruise. I look at it this way - AC in various spots of the ship can be brutal, it gets cool quickly when the sun goes down and I for one will be dining well after sundown. Also, people from New York may think it is warm at 60 but I am from Las Vegas and grab jackets when it dips to under 70 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
