Andee Posted January 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We've taken two Oceania Med cruises in October and November, each for two weeks. I like to mix and match, so, for the evenings, I take black silk pants, khaki silk pants, a black & white skirt, and a black skirt, somewhat dressy blouses & sweaters. My personal rule is that any top I take must go with at least three bottoms. We found great variation in the daytime weater. Some days, capris, short sleeved tops and sandals were fine, and somedays I was chilly in long pants, shoes & socks, a long sleeved top over a T, and a rain jacket.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted January 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The ports of call make a difference. It will be cooler in places like Rome, Florence, Venice, Istanbul, etc. and warmer in the Greek isles, Sicily, Barcelona. On our 12-day November mediterranean cruise, I took a mix of long and short sleeve t-shirts, a couple of cardigans and a hoodie to throw over if needed, and a rain jacket with a zip-out liner (which I never really needed except for evenings in Rome after the cruise). I wore mostly pants although I did bring one pair of capris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashababy Posted January 28, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Did you take anything made of wool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted January 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I took one wool sweater. Wore it in Istanbul (morning only then got too warm) and Rome. Otherwise it was too warm to wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted January 29, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Wool makes me itch, so I never wear it. But it wouldn't have been cold enough for wool, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen sharpe Posted January 29, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Can be cooler in the mornings and late afternoon...high 40's to mid 60's..dress in layers and take a good rain proof jacket...Grey skies and rain in November but nice weather for exploring and less crowds!

jwave Posted July 31, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I am comfortable with evening choices, since the boat is usually cool anyway. But daytime in the med in fall has me puzzled. I think it might be that I am in such summer mode right now, but in my head I am thinking lightweight skirts and 3/4 sleeve boat neck tees. Will I be cold? Do Europeans in the med wear darker heavier fabrics in the fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Europeans in the med wear darker heavier fabrics in the fall? As to whether you'll be cold, again, it depends on your ports. The Southern Med could still be warm enough for skirts and t-shirts. More northern ports may be cooler. Look at average temperatures for the month for each port at weather.com, for example, to get an idea of highs and lows. Europeans definitely wear darker colors and dress for the season. Of course, there will likely be plenty of tourists still around too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hajekfam Posted July 31, 2008 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We did a cruise Venice to Barcelona last year mid Nov. In Venice, I was really sorry I didn't bring my winter jacket and gloves. It was very cold especially in the evening. In fact it was so cold that the evening gondola ride (cruiseship excursion since the gondolas usually are available during the daylight hours during the late fall/winter) was cancelled.
