Going to be on a cruise ship in the winter in the Adriatic Sea with my father ( his way of saving money ) and I was wondering what kind of weather should we expect? Would it be too cold to go out on to the deck for any length of time? We also have ports of call and we were warned already about rain. Is it like cold November rain or is it like not so bad rain?

This is all his idea because he thinks he's going to die tomorrow. Although he's been thinking he was going to die tomorrow for the past decade. I've never been to this part of the world so I figured how bad could it be? It's not about the weather it's about how you dress.

And that leads me to another question along the non Italian side of the Adriatic, it's not wise to showboat your 'success' via name brand clothing correct? I'm not asking for myself I'm asking for you know who, who likes wear all the country club classics just to show his 'newfound' good life.

It might sound like I'm picking on my dad I'm not, I just want enjoy myself and not have to take a knife for him because he's an idiot and is wearing a Patagonia labeled bubble goose down jacket worth more than someone makes in a year.

If they make a stop at Split (Croatia) you definitely want to visit that beautiful city.

I'm sure it will be one. It's a city tour really. So we'll be going on outings led by a guide, looking at whatever we look at in cities. With breakfast lunch and dinner as part of the itinerary. It's definitely a "here's to the good life" sail. He went balls out. It's a 16-day tour. With 14 days on the boat. I'm going to be visiting the bar and filling up my gullet with fingers of whiskey I can tell you that. I think I'm going to be the youngest person on the boat. I have a feeling I'll be cougar meat.

What countries are you exactly referring to as non-Italian side of mediterranean that you're worried about getting stabbed in?

[–] • 1 pt

Croatia and Montenegro I believe.

Don't worry about Croatia, it's full of timid and peacful people. To get stabbed and robbed there is probably least likely to happen than in any other European country.

Well it doesn't make me rest any easier considering your handle is StabEm 🪛 just kidding but I'm just doing some preliminary understanding of where we're going. When I went to Switzerland years ago I wore my American styled clothes and stuck out like a sore thumb. Flannels and bright stuff. Everyone looked like they were miserable wearing different shades of black and gray.
