Onboard temperatures?

[rastika]

I know that temperature is somewhat subjective, but I was wondering if you could help me out? My husband and I are cruising on the Dream starting the 25th of September. I'm from Atlanta and currently live in "famously hot" Columbia, SC. I'm used to hot and muggy, but indoors we keep it frosty with the AC blasting.

Will the Dream be chilly inside or will it be mostly warm to hot given all the glass and doors opening to the outside?

Will I be more comfortable in sleeveless short dresses or tops and capris or long pants?

Do the staterooms have adjustable thermostats?

Thanks for your help!

I found that I was pretty comfortable for the most part last year on the Dream. I had sweaters on hand for DD and me at dinner and in the theatre just in case but we didn't always need it. It was nice to have, though in case. DH tends to run hot so he didn't bring his. He likes it arctic at night when we sleep and had no problems.

Staterooms have thermostats.

Dining rooms are cold, in my experience. I wear dresses to dinner and ALWAYS have some sort of wrap because otherwise I'm cold.

The rest of the ship (I've done 4 Bahamas cruises on the Dream) has been comfortable.

thanks! So, it sounds like I should pack more for summer than fall oh well.

Outside temps will not be cool, unless it is raining.

MDR's can be cool, the DW wears a dress jacket each night and is fine. Walt Disney Theater can be cold. Buena Vista is always cool.

Walt Disney Theater can be cold

I so agree with this. On our Hawaii cruise the WDT was soooooo cold that people were bringing blankets from the pool area to bundle up in while watching the shows.

I've always found the interior spaces on all cruises we've been on cooler than I like. I always have a sweater/wrap/light jacket with me.
