Hi Michael- thanks for the note!In the ship it is very comfortable, with heated spaces. Most areas are in the upper 60s or low 70s so wearing a long-sleeved shirt or hoodie is all I need. My cabin is fine, and even has a thermostat so if I feel chilly I can turn it up a little.
Outside it is currently 28° F with a wind chill of about 21°. The presence of ocean water moderates the temperature so it never changes a whole lot up here during our trip.
