Night time temperatures shouldn't be too bad. It will probably be very windy though. Also, water temps in the Caribbean will be warmer.

Temps at night can dip down to a little bit chilly as there is usually some breeze. My wife usually packs a light jacket or hoodie in case it gets cold at night...just in case.

I've had 2 water based excursions in St Thomas this time of year and it has been great both times. Evenings were pleasant for me, some people might like a sweater at night.

How exciting, you are leaving before you know it! The weather in the evenings should be fine. I would bring a light sweater or jacket, just in case. I've found certain areas of the ship are cooler then others. Have an awesome cruise! Jealous in Georgia!

DW always wants a light sweater at night on the ship. The outside decks and some of the venues are cool to her. I am always fine in short pants and a short-sleeved shirt. We have been swimming on St.Thomas and St. John many times at this time of the year. The water is usually 80 degrees + or - a couple.
