Tell me your thoughts assuming you have a balcony. Under what conditions like rain, cold, glacier viewing, darkness, angle of views etc... Your strategy for viewing . Ex, I read one post that family had balcony rooms on opposite sides (Port vs Starboard) and they would jump from one side to the other during glacier. turn around to get double the time. I am contemplating getting balconies next to each other with family (reunion) so we can make our balconies larger and have better views and interact with each other.

I understand people wear swimsuits but most of the time it is for a limited time while doing that activity and mostly for the hot tubs which are hot. I'm interested to know how warm (at what temp) is the inside of the ship as a lot of people have stated "the cruise line keeps the inside of the ship warm". Warm can be a lot of different temps to different people. My upper body gets cold so I always like to check temperatures to places that might get cold for me. I think I might just might ask in a separate thread what temp. I wear shorts 95% of the time (> 55F) but take a light sweater when temps go below 70F (I can hear people laughing as they read this).

I understood by the title that the OP wants to know if shorts are OK on the ship. I've read that the cruise lines keep the ships warm but they don't say at what temp (Does anyone know at what temp?). I'm from Miami, FL and have the same question. Good news is that you can, and if it gets too cold your room is close by to change. I've had a lot of co-workers who wear shorts in 40F degree weather from up north who now freeze in 60F temps after living in Miami for just 6 months.

On second thought, with all the money you are spending on the trip not telling her can save you some money. Just Kidding. Although we try to be romantic with our significant others, my wife would kill me if I surprised her and she wasn't prepared for the surprise. It's funny but everyone is different, you know your wife better than anyone so take our advice with a gain of salt. And for me, one day I will go out and skies the limit, I will surprise her and whisk her away day of. Good Luck.
