Winter Cruise

[katti michele]

Hi everyone. I cruise in a mere week and am starting to get nervous about my attire. I went on my first cruise in September and the weather was gorgeous, but i'm worried it will be cold or at least chilly this time around. I live in Southern Louisiana and i'm well aware how I can wear shorts one day and need a fleece jacket the next! Does your apparel change much from hot to colder cruise months? Any tips on what I should pack that I probably didn't last go-round? We are cruising the Western Caribbean this time with Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel in our sights. Thanks!

I cruise in the winter and bring my summer clothes. The last time I was in Cozumel in January it was hot. I do have jeans and a jacket with me but that's because it's cold at home.

It's usually warm to hot in those ports; I wear summer clothes. About the coolest I have ever had in the Caribbean is around 68 to 70 in January.

 

If you are sailing from New Orleans, you probably know to expect that it could be cool for the first and last days, depending on how the weather is in NO.
