I will start searching online as I don't see much in the stores along these lines. Not the right season for tropical wear in Seattle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1612122 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 03:35:37 +0000 El Cee 1612122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On tropical vacations I usually bring a packable trench coat (or wear it on the plane), a big pareo that can be worn as both a shawl and a beach wrap, and one or two lightweight cardigans. As others have mentioned, the A/C aboard ship can be downright chilly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1612119 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 02:41:06 +0000 MsMary 1612119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like cardigan sweaters for the a/c on the cruise ship. If they're lightweight they don't take up much packing space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1612059 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:55:17 +0000 Sheila 1612059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So...the Raincoat is coming on strong now! I have one that might work and I also have a White Denim Jacket. Guess I will have to wait until a couple of days before we depart to make this decision.</p> <p>Thank you to all for your ideas, they have been very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1612006 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:48:55 +0000 Freckles 1612006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun Sheila! &nbsp;I vote for the raincoat. &nbsp;A raincoat can be used for many different weather conditions while other outerwear never does keep you dry enough when you've got a limited wardrobe and getting items to dry can be a problem while travelling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1611882 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:33:10 +0000 Carole 1611882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote lightweight raincoat and layers. Light cardigans to layer work well also. Have fun. Blue sky and warm weather sounds so appealing right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1611849 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 14:53:40 +0000 Sheila 1611849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like the raincoat should be nixed in favor of a shorter jacket plus pashmina or other warm scarf. Thanks for the ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1611655 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:59:11 +0000 Anonymous 1611655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cold do you get? Most people on cruise trips seem to be running around without sweaters in the A/C while my DH &amp; I are needing them, and bothered by the Caribbean heat (where there's no A/C) while my DH &amp; I enjoy it. My advice is to pack a jacket anyway. We once went on a cruise to the Bahamas when a cold front came through and the weather was windy and cold. You never know what the weather is going to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1611654 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:58:19 +0000 Helena 1611654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white denim jacket idea, and maybe a big but lightweight scarf for extra warmth if needed ... It can also double as a pillow and blanket for plane, and an evening wrap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1611651 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:52:47 +0000 Rambling Ann 1611651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How dressy are you expected to be on the cruise? I might look for a cotton cardigan for evenings and in the wind, that could layer under the raincoat as you travel and for the plane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-ideas-for-outerwear-for-caribbean-cruise-in-april#post-1611628 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:12:57 +0000 Sheila 1611628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am a terrible 'at-sea' person, but my sweet husband has insisted that we try a short 7-day cruise on a very nice big boat. So it will be my first.</p> <p>What can I wear for outerwear that will get me from cool Seattle to warmer Charleston, SC, where we are spending some time sightseeing, then to even warmer Puerto Rico and finally, back home to chilly Seattle (possibly high 40's to maybe 60) after the cruise?</p> <p>I have been debating about a lightweight raincoat, a white denim jacket,...and what??! I am hoping to bring just the clothes that I need. (Angie, I know this runs counter to your personal packing strategy.)</p> <p>Ideas, please? </p>
