Would a long sleeve dress be too hot on elegant night?

[newt98]

Asking a question for the DW.she is wanting to buy a long dress that has full length sleeves. She is worried she will b too hot. We are going on 8 day eastern on the conquest in mid February. What say you? Thanks!

She should be just fine ;)

[Kittybork]

The dining room is often cool. She'll be fine.

It probably depends on the ship and I havent sailed on the Conquest, but on other ships I often find it chilly in the dining room.

I'd be too hot...if she's cold-blooded, and doesn't have hot flashes, she'll be fine!

[lukydog]

Is she normally hot blooded, cold blooded? Personally, I get chilly inside the ship because of the air conditioning so long sleeves would be perfect in the dining room. I usually wear a hoodie everywhere inside but I tend to be cold blooded.

I am usually chilly in the dining room so she should be fine. I wear a sweater most nights

The dining room can be chilly at night even for me, and I like the cold. I find a long sleeves shirt ok, but when I add a jacket, I start sweating.

We're just off Conquest and I found the Dining room to be cold. I was glad I had a wrap

I've never been hot in any MDR. I always wear a dressy sweater with my dresses on elegant night so I can't imagine sleeves of the same material as her dress being too hot.

She will b happy to see these responses! Thank u all for your help.

It should be just right.

My husband wears a suit on elegant nights. A long sleeve dress shouldn't be any hotter that that.

I'm usually freezing in the MDR, long sleeves are fine!

She should be fine. especially if she goes to the shows after dinner. It s always cold in there. I always bring a little jacket and I'm very hot blooded...

My wife wears that too at times and has not complained of being hot.

[deborahjo]

Should be ok. I always wear a sweater or a Shaw in the dining room. I freeze

I've always been comfortable with sleeves in the dining room. Now, the caveat to that is, should you arrive at dinner service before the doors open and have to wait with everyone crammed out in the lobby area, you'll sweat like a wildebeest. :rolleyes:

Inside of the ship is air conditioned. Many men wear jackets on the dress-up nights and they are comfortable.

Personally, I'd have been cold in the MDR and show room with no sleeves.

[Cushing985]

Sometimes I wish I had brought a parka! I've never known the MDR to be warm or even comfortable. Snow is always in the forecast.

[SadieN]

I always seem to end up in the area where no air is circulating. Many times I'm shedding my cardigan.

It does depend on whether she runs 'hot' or 'cold'.

This is very subjective. How is your wife in other indoor venues? Does she run hot? Cold?

 

On our Conquest cruise, on every one of our cruises in fact, I wore a sleeveless or short sleeve dress/top to the main dining room and was usually comfy to warm. I stopped bringing my sweater because I never wore it. It always stayed on the back of my chair.

I don't have time to read all the the postings, but this is what I do. Normally I do wear some type of dress with a sleeve, as has been stated (unless you are very warm natured), it can get chilly in the dining room. I also take a stole or a nice jacket that would compliment the dress that I was wearing, just to be comfortable while eating.

[rjrpar]

Of course not, the dining room is like any other restaurant. Many people bring sweaters due to to the air conditioning
