Two things I'll never cruise without!

Sweat pants and a sweatshirt! Who'd think April in Florida it would be so cold?!?! Returning from the Western Caribbean we found ourselves heading into a cold front in Florida. The last sea day was very cold with the wind whipping up. People were in bathrobes and huddling under towels.

I didn't even think about taking warm clothes. Went to buy some in the Fun Shops and they didn't have any pants and the sweats were thin and over $50!

I debarked at 7:45 am and waited for the shuttle for 25 minutes with people from up north wearing sweats while I froze in my shorts and t-shirt.

First thing in my luggage next trip is my sweat pants and sweatshirt!

this is why i always pack a sweater or a light weight jacket no matter were i go

That is why we always check the weather before we leave. Florida can get chili in the winter. A reason we only would do the Bahamas April - October.

I've lived in Florida all my life and don't recall an April 8th this chilly!

Below 75 is too dang cold!!

As a heart attack. That's why I live in Florida. I like it when I wake up and the temp is 75 and rising. Keeps my pool warm. I won't get in it until water reaches 85. Wearing more than shorts, tank top, and flip flops is not comfortable to me. I absolutely hate wearing long pants.

Froze my ass off in Miami one year when we first started cruising. 34 degrees ,me in shorts and t's :D. I wanted to bring a hoodie and I remember my wife saying we would not need winter clothes in Florida . It was so cold I wrote a song about it ,titled .

I always bring at least one pair of long pants and a light sweater. Layering is key.

My wife and sometimes grandkids.

HA ! I was going to say my wife and money , but it really would have been only one answer . She's going to get the damn money anyways ;) :D

If I have room, I'm adding a fleece blanket. I freeze watching the movies on the lido. AND I'm packing a hand band. I spend half of the movie just moving my hair around due to the wind

I'm cold-natured, so I always travel with sweats or jackets/sweaters.

Me too! I learned my lesson and always take fluffy socks and a jacket whenever I travel. I will be doing the same for my cruise.

Completely agree! I live in NY and have come to despise the cold! We visit Florida several times a year. Almost the whole summer which people never understand saying it's too hot! I love it!

Lived in Florida 60 years. When it gets below 70F it is too cold. Love our 90F days. I can always get cooled off but it takes forever to get warm. Still take a lite sweater or hooded sweatshirt on all cruises. You just never know..

:loudcry::loudcry::loudcry::loudcry:

So was chilly in Florida today. BooHooHoo

It hit 50 F today in the GTA and people were out in shorts and t-shirts. Convertable tops were down and and the BBQ's were fired up.

Wimps.:rolleyes:

I thought they had blankets at the towel shack for the dive in movies.

My Tervis tumbler and Sunscreen (costs a fortune to buy that onboard or in port) also, Tylenol (as a 3rd thing)

I would love a 75 degree day. We are struggling to get it above the freezing point. I was going to respond to this thread though and say what I would never sail without would be my husband and zip lock bags. I can't imagine how I could travel without either.

Flying in from Michigan in February, we always dress warm for the flights. We don't have to worry if it's cold when we get back to Florida. We just put our flying clothes back on again.

Here in Florida if it's below 73 we have sweats on outside. Usually wear shorts on Christmas day. And we like it that way!

Why sweatpants and a sweatshirt? I understand the need to be warm, but they are so bulky! A pair of twill slacks and a zip up merino wool sweater would be as warm if not more so, and take less packing space than the sweatpants alone. And would look much nicer.

As a Floridian I am enjoying the cool weather. Perfect days and great to sleep with the window open at night. Plus saving a small fortune with the HVAC in the off position. :)

I am easily chilled in AC so I always travel with long pants, a sweatshirt and sweaters. I usually get quite a bit of use out of them as the MDR, comedy club, and theater can be rather chilly.
