Cruise weather in November

[nnyl_irret]

We will be cruising in November and I am trying to plan and figure out what kind of clothes I should buy for my daugther for the cruise but really have no idea what the weather will be like... has anyone cruised in November? If so what is the weather typically like?

We will be on the November 13th 7-Night Western Caribbean - 2 Stops at Castaway Cay cruise.

We did this same cruise last year. The weather was wonderful!!! Low 80s every day and around 70 at night. It did get windy one evening, but we didn't really need our sweaters. On the first stop at CC, the water was fairly chilly, but the kids didn't mind! The second stop at the end of the week, the water was warmer. My girls wore sundresses all week and didn't get cold. I had heard that the dining rooms were chilly, but that wasn't our experience. I'm usually cool in the A/C, but I was very comfortable. We're cruising in December this year and I'm wondering if it will be cooler!!

Enjoy your trip!!! I know you'll have a great time!

We will be on that cruise as well.

Great Are you travelling with any children? My DD will be one week away from 6 when we sail.

It is your first Cruise? I hear it's quite a bonus that your itinerary has been changed to include two stops at Castaway Cay.

Thank you for the information - I sure hope my daugther gets to wear sun dresses all week... well actually she will have to because that's what I am planning to buy.

We are on that cruise as well and I was wondering the same thing about the weather. I had heard that the water at CC could be a bit cool but most times you can get used to it. I'll be cruising with DD4, DS2, DH, and the grandparents. Looking forward to two stops at CC.

Here's a link with water temperatures. If you think it is cold it is really based on your perception compared to air temperature not the water being warmer or colder.

I've been on 2 cruises in November, both right around the same time. The first year the weather was perfect - sunny and hot. The second year, it was a little chilly, so the weather can vary but we had a great cruise both times

We just booked this same cruise as well! I'm hoping it will be warm.... most of the dresses I have started on for my DD (she will be 5 on the ship) are sleeveless.... I guess I could pack some longer shirts to wear underneath if we have to, but she hates that, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for lots of hot sun!

My daughter will be 6 on the cruise

Everything I have bought so far are sleeveless too, I will bring a couple little sweaters for night, but hoping the dresses will be good enough for day.
