Mac Posted January 9, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Dose anyone know if there is a formal night on the 5 night Bermuda cruise? This is our first time to Bermuda on a 5 day cruise, always done the 7-9 day, what is the weather like that time of year and is there anything we must see, thank you for your help.

adonisr Posted January 9, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2005 We're on the same cruise - and wondering the same thing. Anyone know the dress for each night of a 5 day? We've done 7 day, 3 day and 4 days. Help!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted January 10, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Glad to hear your sailing with us, I heard so many positive things and heard it's just beautiful, I can't wait to go, my daughter is also sailing with us and this is her first time.

chanat Posted January 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2005 We are also going on this one. I have heard from friends that there is usually 1 formal night on a five night cruise. We also have never been to Bermuda or sailed 5 night, but have done a couple 4 nighters to Bahamas. I think the weather will be around 70- 80 degrees from what I read. We will be a group of 18 with kids from 5-19yo. Anyone with young kids going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrudy Posted January 10, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Welcome to our cruise!!!! We have a thread on the "meet and mingle" board, come over and join us. Here is the link..... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=79475&page=1&pp=25 Hope it works!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedacruise Posted January 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2005 There should be one formal night. I have been to Bermuda in May and June. I would pick May as the better month because the country is not as crowded yet. Summer is their biggest season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted January 11, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted January 11, 2005 For those who have not been on the voyager the ship is beautiful, this would be our 4th sailing on her, the sister ships are just as nice. Dose anyone know of any good excursions we must do? I always wanted to swim with the dolphins, has anyone done it before and is it worth it.

ineedacruise Posted January 12, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I would suggest when you get to Hamilton take one of the taxi tours that are offered privately. Its a great way to see the island from those who know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacDro Posted January 12, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2005 me, three of my daughters and two of my grandchildren, a 5 year old girl and an 11 year old boy, will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedee666 Posted January 13, 2005 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2005 we leave at 10--so no dinner-right? will there be a show on the nights we are docked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted January 13, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Once everyone is off the ship from the previous cruise they let you on the ship by noon and you can have lunch and hang out all day on the ship. You will also get dinner and a welcome aboard show and parade for all. They will do a munster drill before departing. Not all guest's like to leave the ship so nothing will change.

JacDro Posted January 14, 2005 #12 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Will formal night be the first sea day? Looking into booking an excursion for Tuesday evening in Bermuda but don't want to miss the formal dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted January 14, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm not sure when they will have it on the 5 night, but I'm interested in finding out to. I'm guessing that it will be on one of the sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedacruise Posted January 15, 2005 #14 Share Posted January 15, 2005 They will not do a formal while in port because many pax will be out and about. My guess it that it will be your first full night at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanat Posted January 15, 2005 #15 Share Posted January 15, 2005 me, three of my daughters and two of my grandchildren, a 5 year old girl and an 11 year old boy, will be there. My niece is 5 (6 in July)and will be going. I hope she goes in the kids program this time. Last time she cruised she was just three and didn't want to leave mom and dad. Her parents really hope she goes into the program too. I have an 11 year old boy and my nephew is 10, so they will have each other and they have loved the kids program in the past. I also have a 15yo boy and his friend is going. Have your grankids cruised before? There is so much for the kids on the ship. We went on the Mariner last Jan. Can't wait for Bermuda, we have done the Caribbean and Bahamas several times. We are going for my mother-in-laws 65th b-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted January 16, 2005 Author #16 Share Posted January 16, 2005 What excursions is everyone doing? Been to the Carribean many time's but never hear, any suggestions? Has anyone done the dolphins or the bike/beach tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCchic Posted January 19, 2005 #17 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I've heard the weather in Bermuda in May is rather chilly...is there any truth to this? Just wondering b/c I may be going on the Voyager on May 15th out of NJ. Also - how do you get to Cape Liberty? I live in NYC. Is it just a quick cab ride away? I hear Bermuda is beautiful - I'm just not sure how cold this cruise will be in mid-May. Like how will that first day at sea be leaving NY...cold? Thanks!

ineedacruise Posted January 20, 2005 #19 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've heard the weather in Bermuda in May is rather chilly...is there any truth to this? We were in Bermuda last May around the 18th and the weather could not have been better. Low 80's, no humidity and a couple passing showers. It was actually during an early hot spell here in PA, temps in the high 90's. The water was about 66 degress which is cold to Bermuda standards but I am used to the Jersey Shore and the water there stays cooler. Also - how do you get to Cape Liberty? I live in NYC. Is it just a quick cab ride away? Here is a link to the Cape Liberty webpage ...http://www.cruisenewsdaily.com/i-capeliberty.pdf It will give you directions and some information. I hear Bermuda is beautiful - I'm just not sure how cold this cruise will be in mid-May. Like how will that first day at sea be leaving NY...cold? We left for our cruise in Mid May from Norfolk Virginia and it was very hot... about 90 degrees. Thanks! If you have any more question, I will try and help out.

beachwarmer Posted January 20, 2005 #20 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi All, We are headed to Bermuda in May too but on NCL Majesty. ( We are former residence so want as much time in Bermuda as we can to visit friends.) Here is a link to the Bermuda weather page which has the weather and sea temp data for last May (other years too if you want to compare) http://www.weather.bm/data/2004-05.html The dolphin program is wonderful. Here is the link to that http://www.dolphinquest.org With admission to the Maritime Museum in Dockyard you can view the programs/dolphins. If you want to participate in a program you should really make advance reservations as the spaces are very limited and when ships are in port they will be full. The childrens programs are really great and educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCchic Posted January 21, 2005 #21 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks to all who responded - the info is very helpful! Unfortunately - I think we're going to pass on the Bermuda cruise in May. Rest of the family heard the weather is not so great so I think we're going to Puerto Rico instead...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrudy Posted January 21, 2005 #22 Share Posted January 21, 2005 NYCchic, Sorry you won't be joining us in "SUNNY" Bermuda. Everyone else on this sailing, I've been informed, and have also checked the RCCL website that the time has changed for departure. It is now listed as a 5:00pm departure. Please check your arrival plans, we don't want anyone missing the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted January 21, 2005 Author #23 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks for the info, we will be driving down, it take's about 3 hours but we will be leaving sooner than planed if times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonisr Posted January 25, 2005 #24 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Glad to see there are so many on here going on the same cruise. This will be our first to Bermuda. We are taking our "moms". Neither of them have ever cruised, so we are excited about them going. Our 7 year old daughter is also going. I'm still researching excursions, so I'm enjoying reading what everyone else is saying. Has anyone looked at the helmet diving? It looks pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisFran Posted January 25, 2005 #25 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hartley's Helmet Dive IS great!!...for all ages, even your 7 yr. old!! Your hair doesn't even get wet, and you can wear eye-glasses also! Would highly recommend it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
