How cold are the public areas in the evening?

I am trying to figure out what to pack for a March cruise out of NY. Do they typically pump up the air conditioning at night? I would like to bring mostly dresses. I will certainly pack some cardigans, but am worried I will still be cold.

 

Ladies, were your legs freezing in a dress, toes frozen in sandals?....

We have cruised 3 times from ny in march... definetly bring a couple of light sweaters. It is chilly inside, esp the theatre and resturants. I usually wear sandles throughout w/no issues! Have a great trip! :)

They keep the temperature the same at night as during the day. We usually find it to be warmer than we like.

Definitely bring a sweater or wrap to the dining room or theater. It can get chilly.

I cruised on the Gem out of NYC in January and brought long sleeve shirts for dinner and evenings. Wished I brought more tank tops since I thought the dining/bar areas and theater were warm.

I think for most, if you're wearing a sleeveless top (dress or blouse) a nice light bolero (my choice) or light sweater is perfect. It's not so cold that you need a woolie... and once in the southern US, you'll only need it in the MDR since outside will be heavenly and warm.

 

Enjoy

As others have stated, take a wrap or light cardigan as I always think the theater is cold due to the air conditioning. Sometimes the dining rooms are chilly. I usually take a neutral colored pashmina. They fold or roll up nicely and are easy to carry around if needed. Enjoy your cruise!
