Do a little Google searching for the weather for a couple of your ports. We have been in the area twice in July...the temps can range from the 60s to near 100, even a bit cooler on the Norway coast, maybe lower 50s. So layering, from light hot weather clothes to cooler clothes is important.

Bring layers including a waterproof hooded shell.  Then you can easily deal with the big differences in temperature.  Ive been to most of those Norweigan ports twice and have seen both sunny and rainy days. They say if it isn't raining in Bergen it is about to.

Thank you for that info. I appreciate it. So when on board, do cruisers some days wear sleeveless tanks, other days wear short sleeves, long sleeves, jackets on deck?
Is the pool dome open some days, closed a lot? 

At night inside, during dinner and shows, do cruisers wear summer clothes or long sleeve cooler clothes?

I retired to Florida 7 yrs ago and have a mostly summer wardrobe lol.

It's going to be chilly on deck up north, so a sleeveless tank will likely have you shivering.

 

Ships are usually air conditioned quite well, so having a jacket or sweater handy is always a good idea, no matter where you are cruising

You might be able to wear short sleeves in Germany, but once you go north of Bergen, you won't have much use of them.  Here's what people were wearing in Bergen last August.
