med cruise April 8th weather - what to wear

[strawberry, north west]

Hi We have booked FO Braemar Med cruise 8th April, Dover > three days at sea > lisbon , malaga, cartegena, palma, barcelona ,gibraltar ,la coruna (Spain) , 2 days at sea . Dover.
Looking at the snow outside now I am really panicking as to what to pack .
Ive only been to hot cruise places - presume the formal wear and cocktail dresses will be o k to still take and wear (The are sleevless & some backless but if we stay in doors is it hot enough ?)
Its the day time - any suggestions - ( I dont think the bikinis/ flip flops will get an airing somehow ) day wear and foot wear.
Thinking about 3 days at sea and dont want to stay on the ship at ports of call if its cold or rainy - but may go sunny

what a nightmare !
Many thanks for any help

Hi, we came back from a a world cruise in April into Barcelona, although the sky was blue it was very cold at first, , so I advise a fleece slacks and flat shoes, It gradually warmed up and by lunchtime we were able to remove the fleece . enjoy your cruise. CG

Thanks Cornish Girl - layering seems to be best then.
never thought I would take a fleece on a cruise !

We once went on a cruise in April. We left Malta wearing very light clothes but it was really cold in Marseilles and we ended up buying thermal underwear to wear under our summery clothes. I had taken a cardigan and a light jacket and even though I wore them both together I still felt cold.
Plus remember that while the ship is sailing it will be coldish so a fleece would come in handy.

We had a week in Barcelona one February. One day it was very very cold. The next day we were eating at a pavement cafe just in chinos and T shirts. I hope you are lucky and get some much needed sun.

I would have thought that layers is definitely the way to go at this time of year. Hoping for some nice spring weather for you.
