Rash Guards

[goofystitch]

Absolutely a yes on the rash guard. The sun is strong in the Caribbean and Bahamas and you don't want skin cancer. Take it from someone who knows.

Do you mind sharing what company you get yours from? I have a sun allergy and use long sleeve shirts at the beach but don't have any shorts or pants

The company is called Coolibar.

I'm the only one that hasn't gotten one in our family, but I definitely see the benefits. If I was going to be sitting in the sun or outside for a period of time I would be putting on sunscreen anyway so I never saw the need for one more thing to put on or pack. DH, DS, and DD all have one tho. They always wear them if we're going anywhere near water. You would think based on responses, you would see them more often than not on the ship but it's been my experience that while not uncommon they're not the majority.

We had them and they definitely made things easier at Castaway, except for the waterslides. They stink when going down a waterslide.

Not the original OP, but Lands End and LL Bean have rash guards and matching shorts etc. Watch for a sale.

Thanks to everyone for your advice. You convinced me to go for it. LandsEnd was having a sale so I bought shirts and shorts.
