Is summer attire a good choice for a Nov 11th 12 day Caribbean cruise?

Eastern Caribbean. I expect islands will be warm, but what about while on the ship? Thank you.

PS this is our first cruise. (Oceania)

Bring a sweater or shawl. It can be cool in some parts of the ship and out in deck at night.

When sailing south of Florida anytime of year, I never take long pants except for evening dinner attire. I typically take a long sleeve pullover just in case of a Florida has a cool evening (rare in November), but I have never needed it once we past Cuba.

Once into the Caribbean, it's Summer weather. The a/c on ships is often quite chilly so take along some sort of wrap. :)

Rent a locker at the airport either in S Florida or your homeairport ( if they still have them post 9/11) to store your heavy winter coats in before going on the ship. The ship can be cool inside so a light sweater will do just fine.

We made the mistake of not bringing light sweaters on our last cruise and the ship's bars/some entertainment venues were freezing. Had to buy them onboard (expensive!)

 

We cruise in December to the Caribbean and never bring long pants, but sweaters/light jackets are a must!

We definitely take summer clothes with us for cruises in November and several months after.

I take summer clothes year round in the Caribbean...but yes just like the others bring a sweater or pullover for cold place on ship or on deck....also have fun!!!!

Yes, summer clothes and I always take a sweater and light jacket. I wear these on the plane and leave my winter coat in the car at the airport, so no need for a locker or to take a heavy coat on the ship, wasting suitcase or closet space. My husband wears his sports coat on the plane so he doesn't have to pack it.

 

Inside venues can be cool at night, and also outside on deck at night. So far I've never had temps below high 60's on any Caribbean cruise, and that was only one day, once.

Check the weather in Florida...and it will be about 10 degrees warmer...maybe more!

Perfect! Thanks, everyone!
