December Caribbean sailing--evening temperatures/outerwear

[Fleur25]

I am sailing on the Royal Princess next Tuesday for 10 days in the Caribbean. I'm not sure about evening outerwear. Does it get chilly when the sun goes down? Do I need a light jacket? I'm thinking about movies under the stars for example. Any help would be much appreciated.

Currently on cruise and it's hot and hotter with high humidity.

Last night while cruising it was 84 @ 9:00.

My jacket has never left the closet.

Wow! Can't get any more up to date information than that! Thank you for the info. I've heard the AC inside can be rather cold. Have you found that to be the case or does it feel good after the heat/humidity outside?

We love being inside and looking out.

Our balcony has been mainly unusable.

I take sweater, jacket, and long pants on every cruise I go on, just in case. I have, in fact, used each piece at least once.

Last month we had a long port day in Cozumel. By evening it had become windy and cool. Everyone on top deck was wearing a jacket. That's unusual, but personally, I like to be prepared.

WHERE in the Caribbean? If you are truly in the Caribbean, it's HOT all year round. Bahamas and Bermuda are NOT Caribbean countries...and can have cool weather.

 

I bring some sort of "wrap" every cruise, but have never needed it.

Per above ... except I need a wrap INSIDE the ship at times because of the a/c which can be quite chilly in public areas.

So sorry, first trip, not thinking. St. Thomas, Antigua, Barbados, St. Kitts, St. Lucia.

It'll be quite warm in all of your above port stops. :)

I agree, it's very hot in the Caribbean. However, since OP asked about evenings, I was reminded of the fact that when the ship is in transit to the next port, it can be cool out on deck, due to the wind.

Thanks shipgeeks, that was actually a concern. I figured when the ship was moving, it could be a bit breezy. :)

I always carry something warm, either a wrap or a sweater, and at least one pair of jeans. If I get too much sun, I can get chilled in the evening.

When travelling I always bring a hot outfit and a cold outfit just in case and always a light jacket because i get cold easily.
