awhfy

32 degree is available at Costco as well as Eddie Bauer, Spyder, NorthFace & several others

Pookel I’d definitely add another swimsuit, nothing worse than trying to put a cold, wet swimsuit back on (& it can take more than one day to dry a bathing suit on a ship, nothing left on veranda). I understand wanting cardigans, but honestly, it’ll likely be too hot to wear one except in the evening on deck. I wear one onboard (it can be cool in FL) & always have a black cardi for evenings. I’d add one more pair of shoes (my feet swell terribly on all ships & I need to switch footwear. Good luck & enjoy

Colorado here, I bring a packable down hooded jacket (it weighs about 6 oz & has its own packing bag (makes a lovely pillow).

Then & now.

That’s a pretty ruana. Amazon has tons at very good prices. I wouldn’t wear that as a swimsuit coverup tho

Almost 18, still young. I was finishing my second year of college. Les had been in the Air Force for almost 2 years. We’ve been together since I was 15

Thanks, we do like being with each other

Kat, we got married in NH, I was 17 (18 in January) & Les was 20. He was in the AF & headed to Vietnam. Parents were in attendance. Melody

Thanks Sherri

4 is a lot. I wear a bright colored cardigan boarding the ship. Depending on my color palette I bring a black or white cardigan for evenings. As Lois said, a bathing suit coverup is an entire different animal. You need a swimsuit coverup no matter the weather (don’t be one of those that wears the provided bathrobe to the pool). Hope you enjoy your first cruise

Thanks Lois

Today was our 53rd anniversary. 11 degrees & snow so we went out for linner instead of dinner (when it would be even colder). Superb meal

Did you leave your phone in airplane mode? The AT&T pkg is for cellular service, ships use satellites…you need to stay in airplane mode

14 days!! Our grandgirls decorated our tree this year, they had a blast, lots of music & dancing. Fun day

After 30 years of teaching general officers the delights of Dining Like A Diplomat, the phones go in a basket in another room!!! Lol. Melody
