bermuda
 
Want to cruise to Bermuda, but not sure of when to go. I try to avoid summer (too many kids) and would like to go in May or Sept. I know Sept is peak hurricane season. Is it too cold in May?

I've been there in May and FROZE! Then, again, I've been there in February and alternated between wearing an unlined linen blazer and a down jacket with hood...all in the same week! I would say June is probably best, but then I've sailed to Bermuda in September and even early October and it's been glorious. I'd chance September, hurricane season and all. A hurricane hasn't hit Bermuda, they're proud to say, in something like 100 years.

Been there on cruises in May (rainy ,humid,& hot) & in October (rainy,windy & cold)! Take your pick! Also the ship closes down,shops,shows,&casino when docked? (which is MOST of the cruise)!<BR>BILL

I've been there in May, July and many times in October.<BR>May- water is too cold for swimming unless you're desperate, weather is comfortable.<BR><BR>July- too humid to do anything.<BR><BR>October- water is wonderful, weather is 80 ish and the hurricane season is generally winding down by then. Would chose October over any other month.<BR><BR>Enjoy- it's a beautiful island!

Best time to go is the last week in May, first week in June (before the kids get out of school) or the week after Labor Day..or even week later... it is very warm in Bermuda then.. I've NEVER been cold.. October can be "iffy"..

We went the first week of June and had gorgeous weather every single day. Late one night during one of the big parties there were some tiny little sprinkles, but that was it.
