Wedding Dress Long or Short- Winter Wedding but on a Cruise Ship

Hello! I am having a wedding on the Carnival Vista in February of 2020. Technically, this is a winter wedding, but I am getting married on a cruise ship so I am a little confused on the dress....

When I started looking for dresses I wanted a short dress with a sheer overskirt, which I had trouble finding. So I moved on, and began hunting for a dress that I could personalize and make into what I wanted.

I purchased the following dress: https://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_sequin-leaf-appliqued-high-neck-plus-size-gown-9sdwg0686?mr:trackingCode=B9E5AE5E-6504-E911-810B-0050569419E4&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=c&mr:adType=online&gclid=Cj0KCQjw753rBRCVARIsANe3o47ipATHGrF6EYj9TKt05-Xn6txQp7sZcDS3WaVz0QwxZd7eStzXUfoaAvGUEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Side note: it's much prettier in person....

My dilemma:

Should I:

A.) Keep the dress long, and take it in more at the knee so that it is more fitted. ( I am curvy and I am short) OR

B.) Cut the lining on the inside to make it into a shorter dress and keep the sheer top layer long? ( I am busty and this is a halter gown) and I feel that the detail and sequins gets lost on photos and that this would help.

Personally, I think it would look good either way. I have some concern because technically I am getting married in the winter, but it's on a cruise ship...

This is not the dress, but the concept for (A) and yes, I am planning on adding a separate over skirt for more layers.

OR

This is the concept for (B) Shorter liner, longer top layer

With overskirt: (This could also work as a visual for (A) the overskirt is a visual for both (A and B)

I look forward to hearing some feedback! Thank you!

    I personally love option B! It would be bridal, but lighter for a cruise wedding!

    Thank you so much Cher!! This is ultimately the one I keep leaning towards too... It's just a big decision, once they make the cut that's it.
