Rare captain_hug99 Posted March 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm wondering how it generally feels on board. We are going to Alaska. What temperature are staterooms and corridors kept? Will it feel drafty? I'm sure this is a silly question, but it will help with clothing choices. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2015 In your cabin, you will control the temperature. In the public rooms, it tends to be on the cool side. My wife always has a sweater with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2015 While you have control over your cabin temperature, the public areas of the ship are often too chilly for some of us. ;) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted March 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2015 And some of us think they're too warm. I think it depends on how old and close to death you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherandfred Posted March 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Usually the ships are chilly indoors. I'm always cold, so I usually walk around with a fleece on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danni3ll3 Posted March 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) And some of us think they're too warm. I think it depends on how old and close to death you are. Wow, thanks for letting me know that death has been imminent for the last 56 years + or - a few months (the only time I was warm was when I was pregnant and for now, the few hot flashes I get.) =D As for the OP, I found the temperature just fine onboard. We travelled in September so the outside parts of the ship were cool at night and on rainy days, but inside was just fine... and as noted above, I am usually cold.

cb at sea Posted March 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Inside the ship is like inside a building..not "drafty" at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VioletHorse Posted March 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2015 We were on the Volendam last year in early May. We found our room to be a tad too warm for us - the public areas were comfortable. The only place that was drafty was the outside Promenade deck while cruising the Inside Passage. That was cold, and we hardy Northeasterners retreated to the inside of the ship after one lap around the deck. We've cruised on four different cruise lines for a total of 15 cruises. and I have yet to find one ship that was too cold. All that advice about taking sweaters and wraps for use in interior areas wasn't meant for me. If anything, the ships are too warm. That said, the weather in Alaska is rather unpredictable so pack accordingly. We've been to Alaska 3x in May, and we've had weather that ranged from rain/40F to sunny/80F.

sbbquilter Posted March 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Our cruise was August so may not apply - we wore shorts hiking in Skagway and when leaving Vancouver and then warm clothes while att Hubbard Glacier. The ship was moderate to us - that is so individual that it is difficult to compare. I am always hot and DH not so much and he was comfortable in in cotton long sleeve shirt on board. May will be quite a bit cooler outside but likely not inside. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, I don' think the feel has anything to "how close to death you are" but more as to the area you live in. I have lived in South Florida for over 20 years and think it would feel a little chilly compared to when I lived in Ohio and was still wearing shorts at 60°......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2015 A lot depends on the ship. We have been on ships where one public area was hot while another one was cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
