We will be cruising late Oct. into Nov. this year. I notice some have said 80 is possible. I've also heard cold and windy. Is it T-shirts or turtlenecks with a jacket? Do we wear summer clothes (and colors) or light fall clothes (and fall colors)? We are from Minnesota so we are used to the cold. I don't want to stick out in the crowd or be uncomfortable because I brought the wrong wardrobe.

If you go to a message board like Cruise Critic, or post in the cruise section of these boards, you'll probably find people who've taken some version of your cruise to the same destinations during the same time of year.

At that time of year you can easily freeze if you try to wear summer clothing. While you can get a rare very warm day (80) in southern Spain of Cyprus - this is not normal weather for Europe in November. And remember that it will be colder and windier out on the water -esp at night.

So you may get as high as 80 on one day - and 60 at night - or you may get temps in the 50s with colder at night.

and in Nov you can easily get rain as well. (In Paris in Nov I wore cords, a cotton sweater and - at night - a leather jacket (not thin blazer, but a heavyweight leather jacket - but without the liner - in was in the low 40s several nights.

Pack rain jackets, umbrellas. Hope you have nice weather but rain is likely.

Hi Kate,

I would certainly check the Cruise Critic forums and guidance from the cruise company to see what to wear aboard ship. For your shore excursions it's probably best to think in terms of layers. It is indeed possible for temperatures to reach 80, but equally possible (and more likely) to be in the 50s and 60s. It's also likely to be windy with a possibility of rain. So if you wear a jacket or sweater with t-shirt underneath, you will be prepared for practically anything. Cross your fingers and hope for warm sunshine — that's not unheard of for the period of your cruise.
