What to pack? east caribbean October

Booked on HAL for east Caribbean route Oct 15-16. What to pack for weather? Will it be hot & humid? do we need raincoats? Any advice would be most welcome! Judy

Yes, hot & humid - and - too hot for a raincoat just bring umbrellas for everyone. Umbrellas can also be used for shade where needed and bring sunscreen. Have fun !

Hi,

Absolutely hot and humid - I did a Western Caribbean in November and was thrilled to have shorts, tee shirts and sandals. Light flowing clothes for evenings with a light cotton sweater for evenings. The air conditioning can be cool on the ships, plus it can be windy on the decks.

Be sure to go out to watch the stars - they are amazing!

Have a great day!
Julia
