ISO: Weather Tips ~ May 3, 2015 on the Breakaway to Bermuda

[taytaysmom1019]

Late 30's couple sailing kidfree on the NCL Breakaway, May 3-10, 2015! Neither of us have ever been to Bermuda. Any info/suggestions on what to expect from the weather/water in Bermuda or what to wear and pack for the various stages of sailing would be greatly appreciated. Particularly want to know what did you seem to wear most? Bathing suits? How dressy did you get and how much warm clothes were needed sailing out of nyc or just on deck at sea or in Bermud? TIA![emoji4]

Looking for all the same information! Hope to see some replies. We will be on the week before and it will be our first trip there as well.

We're a senior couple also traveling kid free on the Veendam to Bermuda May 2nd, our first time there. We sailed NCL several years ago to Alaska and for the cruise nice casual is all you need, no shorts or jeans in the MDR at dinner; formal attire is optional on formal night. Bermuda is a more formal island and if you want to enjoy dinner on shore, coats and ties are often required. It's the Atlantic, not the Caribbean so I'm bringing a light jacket.

 

Bermuda Tourism, GoToBerrmuda.com, has a lot of info on-line and sent us some great brochures and a map. I quote one of the brochures, "As a rule of thumb dress conservatively. Bathing suits, abbreviated tops and short shorts are not acceptable except at beaches and pools."

 

Hope you have a great time on the pink sand beaches!

We did the May 4th cruise to Bermuda last year. Weather was very nice. I don't recall the actual temperatures but it was quite comfortable. We wore shorts and tee shirts without a problem. Water temperatures was chilly, but once in the water, it wasn't too bad. Here's a pic taken at Horseshoe Bay showing plenty of people enjoying the beach. Have fun, Bermuda is beautiful.

We went last year at this time. There can be rain, but temps are in the 70s. Bring a wrap or sweatshirt hoodie for boat rides. I bring an umbrella just in case. We had beautiful weather last year. I did not find the ocean too cold...it was lovely at Horseshoe Beach. It is not hot like the summer, more like spring in the southern US. Have a great time!
