jdwmaw Posted April 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hello! Going on a Caribbean cruise this summer - planning on sundresses for day/night. My question is what do you wear over your dress to stay warm inside, especially in the MDR (other than a shawl/wrap)? Do you put a bolero/shurg over your formal dress? I hear the air conditioning is cold - and I am one of those "always cold" people. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigirlcruzin Posted April 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm comfortable, so I don't wear anything. I am usually cold, but I don't find the ships to be overly cold. That said, if you feel like you need something, I'd look into some wraps. I think it's more formal/sophisticated than a shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingGatorGirl Posted April 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I am one of those "always FREEZING" people and yes, I found the ships to be freezing. I know this is not the dressiest but I wore cardigans. I have some nicer ones with sequins that I try to wear. I do try to go as long as I can before putting it on.

I bring a sweater for supper at night, formal nights when I have a dress on, I freeze. My daughter wears shrugs with her sundress. I think it is funny when I look at my cruise photos, I am wearing shorts and tanks during the day, at night I look like I am in winter in ND. :D Being in the sun all day makes my body's thermostat go crazy.

sherilyn70 Posted April 29, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have an open style jacket/sweater that I wear with everything. Simple, black, draped style with pockets and no buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alrana Eris Posted April 29, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I switch from cardigan (Old Navy a few months back had sequin ones) And my pashmina that matches for evening. On the plane I wear a hoodie I'm always cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t60 Posted April 29, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I too find the AC a bit too cold, especially in the dining room and theatre. I take an unstructured velvet cardigan, a shrug (short sleeved) and the most useful thing a pashmina. Sandy in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 29, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I always bring some sort of wrap, but have never needed it! I get chilly, too, and have never found it to be cold enough for wraps! Or, you could bring a few things with sleeves....instead of a sundress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted April 29, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi, :)you mention a sundress and then formalwear.....so, are you looking for something for both styles? I always bring a cardigan with me. You can find something quite simple for a sundress....find a neutral color that goes with your dresses. As to formalwear? Many of my dresses/tops have sleeves, although I have a black fine gauge knit cardigan that I will use if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted April 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It depends on the dress for me. I'll use a shawl or cardigan depending on what goes with the outfit. I have several large colored shawls that are great. I also have sheer silver and black ones. My lace back black cardigan goes too though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdwmaw Posted April 30, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks for all the advice - think I will look for couple things, found a knit shrug on Etsy that is pretty casual, and then maybe a bolero or a wrap for my more formal dresses, whichever I find first in the right color!
