Well I shall be passing by you on my way off Celebration on 3/18 as I
sail on 3/11. I have been told by many here that Carnival and many
others crank up the a/c in the dining room and other public areas and
that the only area in which you have control of that is in your cabin so
you may wish to take a shawl along for those public spaces. Is the week
of 3/18 the official spring break week for colleges? Seems everyone is
sailing that week. The small fries seem to be out the week before.

Marlene,
I am a 29 year old female who is sensitive to and whiny about temperature, both
heat and cold. I had few problems. God, I wish I was going again this year!
Last February, I sailed those same stops to the Caribbean, and coldness wasn't
a problem for me outdoors. Indoors, however, the ship (RCCL, not Carnival, but
things are probably pretty much the same) could be chilly, especially in the
dining rooms, but I never found myself uncomfortable unless I had on a
sleeveless dress. As soon as I started pigging out, I warmed right up!
I did not bring a shawl or jacket and didn't wish I had, but if you have a
tendency toward coldness, you might want to. I did occasionally wear long
sleeves to dinner. Out on the higher decks at night, it can get very windy and
thus chilly, but you can easily avoid those areas.
My problem with clothes is that I always needed more sloppy stuff such as
t-shirts, leggings, and shorts, as vacationers sometimes change several times a
day between trips to shore, to the pool, to the spas, etc. so maybe throw in a
few extra of these. You will want to buy a shirt or two aboard the ship though
too, to proudly wear around.
I brought too many dress up clothes, as I was so worried about feeling like a
geek in the dining room. Most nights, I wore what I would wear out to a
restaurant--no jeans, shorts, or sneakers, but casual long cotton dresses,
skirts and silk tanks, nicer wide-leg type pants, nicer shoes or sandals, etc.
were just fine. I like to feel just slightly special, as the photogs do come
around for group photos at dinner. Formal night had men mostly in suits and
women in cocktail dresses or something one would wear to a wedding or fancy
dinner. A few had on gowns, but it is not necessary and probably is a pain to
transport. We then just wore our dinner duds out to the shows, casinos, or
whatever else was going on.
At lunch and breakfast, we were extremely casual: shorts, tank tops, whatever
we planned to wear in port. Sometimes I would throw pants over my swimsuit.
Bon Voyage! Sooooo jealous!

will probably be about 70, but it will be breezy. You'll probably need
the sweater more in the dining room than on deck. I think they precool
it before dinner, just in advance of all those well regulated heaters,
each with their thermostat set at 98.6 degrees. I read somewhere that
its 640 BTU per hour per person. Go figure!
Have a great cruise! If you don't need the sweater, great. If you do,
then you'll have it. It will probably be useful at the airport too.
(I have no idea where you're flying from, but it's probably someplace
cold)
Bob
