You will need something warm for several applications - When the ship is moving at night, the deck is windy and can be chilly.  However, because of the vast amount of humidity in the air, the air conditioning has to be on 24/7, and it can get cool indoors in the lounges, dining room, etc.  I wear cashmere sweaters a lot, and am always ...
