Southern Caribbean - bring sweater, slacks for ladies?

Are sweaters and slacks for ladies usually needed for S. Caribbean cruises (except for embarkation and debakation days)

Trying to cut down on packing and seem to remember bringing being really cold on deck especially in the evening. Not sure though.

Input appreciated.

Not outside, but some public areas/lounges can be really drafty, so I always bring a shawl or sweater, and in the evening I am usually wearing a long skirt. EM

I always bring a shawl with me on cruises.

You just never know where you might find a chilly space on the ship.

You never know if you will get chilly inside or outside the ship.

Sounds wierd (then again, I'm known for that) but, DON'T bring camouflage clothing - Actually illegal in many Caribbean countries (unless you are in their military or law enforcement)! :eek:

You will not need long pants and sweaters in the S. Caribbean, no matter what time of year. Bear in mind that the ship has AC...some find it cool, but I've never, ever needed the wrap I always bring....better safe than sorry....but it's never been used!

And yes...Camo is NOT something you want to bring to other countries...they do NOT appreciate it!

You need slacks or a skirt for the dining room on most ships. No shorts. I am also in the shawl league. ;)

I'm usually cold in the ac on the ship. I wear slacks in the evening and always have a sweater with me.

My wife finds the inside of the ship to be cool. She always has a shawl or sweater with her.

90% of the time, I wore shorts and a tank top during the cruise. 10% of the time, I put on long pants and a shirt for meals.

In the Southern Caribbean it's always VERY warm when outdoors!

Inside the ship the a/c does get too cold in public areas so long pants and sweaters are nice to have along with you. ;)

I wouldn't entirely agree. In Barbados, depending on time of year, the coolest nighttime temperature is likely to be about mid-sixties Fahrenheit. I'd have thought that might be a little cool for a Florida lady.
