Sharon,
Remember, I said location had a lot to do with how much protection one might need. If you are going on a cruise, be very careful as you can find yourself out in the sun during the worst hours of the day. Also, as David found out, being on the water makes you burn faster. Even I wear some sunscreen when on a cruise or in the islands. Enjoy your trip!
Take care,
Eileen
