ridgerunner51 Posted May 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Is it too cold, August to September, to wear sandals for informal evening cruise ship dining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted May 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I plan to wear them for evenings on my August Fjord cruise. Outside, in that part of the world, is a crapshoot any time of year, but the inside temps are kept fairly consistent. When are you going? What ship?

Rare Scrapnana Posted May 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I wore sandals to dinner throughout my last cruise including the January TA portion. I never noticed much of a difference in temperature inside regardless of outside temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will definitely help with my shoe decisions. We are leaving August 30th on the Celebrity Eclipse. This will be our first trip to Europe and our first cruise with Celebrity. I wore sandals to dinner throughout my last cruise including the January TA portion. I never noticed much of a difference in temperature inside regardless of outside temps. Thanks also! I was afraid my feet might get cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5326jan Posted May 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm leaving for the fjords in a few days and am debating the sandal question myself! So far, they're not in my suitcase. Once I've gotten all my layers in, I'll decide if there's room. I have a pair of flats that I'm taking for evenings, but sandals don't take up much room and would give me another option. :confused: Looking at the temps for the next 10 days, it will be in the 60-70 range with rain likely for most of our itinerary. Sea days will be the coldest and we're going up to the Arctic Circle, where the highs will be about 40. Hmmm. What to do, what to do...:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted May 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I know the ship is warm, but there is the possibility you may walk across the pool deck to get from one side of the ship to the other. If I'm not going to wear sandals on tour or on deck during the day, I don't think they would be appropriate to wear to dinner. It may be summer here, but I would prefer to dress for the climate I will be in. We've been to the Fjords (and going to Iceland in July). I would rather use that weight allotment for something else. Thinking back, people didn't wear very summery clothes on the ship. We were just in France for unseasonably cold weather in Sept. I wore sandals in the DR, and I was cold. Somehow when it's cool outside, it just didn't work---for me. Do what you want. No one will notice or think anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie MeMe Posted May 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Remember when planning shoes that you can be a long way from the DR and from the theaters etc. and then after sitting for 2-3 hours (show and dinner) uncomfortable shoes can be a REAL pain. Even for "dress-up" comfort and stability (the biggest waves I have ever sailed was in the North Sea just below the Artic Circle) are really necessary -- those ships are BIG! As far as sandals -- it seems to me that people wear sandals almost year around. I doubt that people look at feet that much unless it is to wonder "how can she walk in those?":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring a comfortable pair of waterproof walking shoes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridgerunner51 Posted May 30, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I was mostly concerned about my feet getting too cold. I can only wear certain shoes and I have a pair of glitzy open shoes that I can wear with pants or a dress to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgerunner51 Posted May 30, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I thought I had attached a picture to my last post, but it was too large. Here is a .jpg of the shoes. They have just enough sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was picturing wearing them everyday. You won't be cold with the pants, but sandals/no hose with a dress----bring a sweater/wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie MeMe Posted May 30, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Cute shoe.:) Perhaps can hide them in the bottom of your carry on or wear on the plane as should be easy for TSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
