We did the DVC member cruise to Bermuda in Oct. 2019. The weather there was sunny and warm (not hot) but extremely windy for the two days we were there. We took the ferry to St. George & it was the scariest ride I’ve ever experienced on the water! It was so bad that they shut down that ferry for the rest of the day due to the high winds. When we left Bermuda we were headed to Boston but halfway there ran into a tropical storm. The Captain announced that Boston was cancelled and he was turning the ship around. He actually said ”hold on” and then he did a 180 degree turn. Someone here on the Dis actually posted a screen shot from the stateroom tv showing that.
I realize that this wasn’t September weather but I imagine it could be similar, since both months are hurricane season.
We have next April’s Bermuda cruise booked & no way would we change it to the September one.
Bermuda was truly amazing & we can’t wait to go back!

Bermuda might be at risk for a hurricane in September. Not an issue in April

That was our last cruise b4 covid too - and if you think the cruise was a wild ride, you should have been on that ferry. Many passengers actually started praying out loud. I think I may have seen my life flash before my eyes LOL!!!

Bermuda is off the Coast of the Carolinas. The water doesn’t warm up there till the end of June. The weather should be nice in April. I cruised DCL to Bermuda back in 2018 at the end of October and the water was only 78-79 degrees. The air temperature was low-mid 80’s.

It’s not a tropical climate like the Bahamas or south of there. The island is beautiful and the people are fantastic.

Bermuda can be cool in April. September can be beautiful! But there is hurricane season. Beautiful island!

Our first Bermuda cruise was in late April 20+ years ago. Due to weather our ship was late getting to NYC. Another cruise line lost a crew member on the same Bermuda/NYC run. We spent the day in a hotel lobby. It was a little rough on the way out of NYC that night but not too bad. Crew said nowhere near as bad as the day before. Bermuda itself was shorts and t-shirt weather but not swimming weather. We used wet suits for our water excursion. Lots of wind. The trip home was also a bit rough. I ended up in a "conga" line of elderly people with walkers etc trying to walk down a narrow aisle. Quick big step forward, quick couple steps back, shake to the right, shake to the left and repeat.

April can be chilly (no ocean swimming).
Sept, definitely Oct and even November are often beautiful and warm, but shorter days.
Yes hurricane season in Aug - SEP - OCT - Nov.
