JosieJeangirl Posted March 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2008 :)Hi Everyone! Has anyone been to these areas during these months? I guess "layering" will be the answer....but now that the airlines might limit luggage, I'd like to consolidate a bit! Would capris still be worn at these ports? Weather reports say a high of 61 in some of the stops. More long pants? Sweaters at all? I plan on bringing along a light jacket, light rain jacket or windbreaker as well. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks! Joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted March 15, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Having cruised the Baltics in May, I'd probably opt for only 1 pair of capris (just in case) because in all likelihood it will be pretty cool. TA cruises are also usually cool and windy. Other suggestions: bring a rain coat with a zip-out liner for double duty. Bring a thin fleece or sweatshirt to layer beneath if really chilly, or you can use on its own over a t-shirt. Long pants, short and long sleeved tees, and a couple of sweaters that you can mix and match is what worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofmeg Posted March 15, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I did a transatlantic this past fall-no baltics though-our ports before the crossing were in England, Ireland and France. Still, I dressed as the above poster suggested. I was comfortable dressing that way. I did not bring any capris, but I did bring cotton pants I wore with three quarter sleeve shirts and I had matching hooded jackets to the pants that were a fleece/cotton-my usual daywear/excursion wear. I had one light weight rainproof jacket that I did wear over the fleece/cotton jackets a couple of times when it was cooler or threatened rain. I did not bring a heavier coat/ jacket and I did not need one-with the layering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulletsmom Posted March 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2008 How many 3 ounze bottles do you put in your 1 Ziplock in your carryon? Can I carry as many as will fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted March 15, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2008 How many 3 ounze bottles do you put in your 1 Ziplock in your carryon? Can I carry as many as will fit? If you mean, can you you put as many 3 oz bottles inside 1 Ziploc as will fit, the answer is yes. If you mean, can you carry as many Ziplocs as will fit in your carry-on, the answer is no -- it is one Ziploc per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I did-I checked most-but had enough in the overnight bag for the basics in case my bags were lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houch Posted March 15, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I was just on a Baltic cruise last Sept, from the 9th to the 19th. I live in MN so am perhaps a bit more used to cooler weather than those who live in warmer climates. I did see folks in heavy winter jackets but the 4 of us never saw a need for that. For the daytime tours I wore capris, a short sleeve tee shirt, and a long sleeve shirt over the tee. I also bought a fleece type zippered jacket with a small Baltic design on the back, which I bought on sale on the ship. (It was their last Baltic cruise of the season so they had many good sales). For that reason I purposely did not bring a sweatshirt or that type of jacket along. I did have a wind breaker jacket with hood and a rain poncho along and I used each once. I was very comfortable in capris during the day with temps in the high 40's and 50's. I wore nice pants with those cute jackets for dinner in the dining room. I brought tennis shoes for walking on the cobblestone streets, but after the first day my feet hurt so I switched to my Birkenstock sandles, wore them the rest of the cruise, and my feet were very comfortable. It was an awesome AND amazing cruise! Enjoy yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
