Bring a pop up hamper to keep stateroom clean. Bring towel clips to hold your towel to the chair in the wind and hang it up to dry. Magnetic hooks and collapsible storage bins for shoes and sunscreen and hair stuff saved our stateroo.. it stayed neat and clean even with smaller quarters. Get the cruise app and plan everything through that. We loved ours and had a great time. See if you might want to explore before you book an excursion. They are so long and we found it more fun to explore on our own. Bring Drama mine and pesto. Have all your paperwork handy.

How is Bermuda during early-mid spring? Was considering for spring break next year. I've been there twice, once in the summer and once in the winter. Both were lovely in their own way but I do recall it being quite windy for the latter trip- still much nicer weather overall compared to DC but I'll never forget the Bermudians bundled up in their winter coats in February! Whereas the summer was quite hot. Just not sure if April is necessarily beach weather yet- looks like average air temperature highs are in the low 70s? I'm not as concerned about the water temp, my kids swam in Cape Cod last month where the water never gets above 70, but it helps when the air is warm.

Love Bermuda but only when there are no cruise ships!

Gorgeous landscape, lagoons, coves, cliffs, rock formation, sunsets and locals. We befriended an older local and he showed us where the coolest cove was and took us on a tour. His friend took us on a 3 hour tour the nnext day as he was busy. They seem like family. The second gentlemen took is to a private, abandoned hidden beach that was out of this world amazing. We had the best time. I am about to book a 7 day cruise back right now.

We love Bermuda but why are you telling everyone about it??? Now the private/locals only spots will be ruined.

Bermuda has been our destination since 2015. We’ve stayed a the Hamilton Princess and Fairmont Southhampton. Both hotels are nicely kept and have amazing views. Ocean Club restaurant and lighthouse offers a variety menu, must have reservations. The Horseshoe beach, Church Bay and Hidden beach are the most beautiful beaches (IMO). My husband and I went cliff jumping, play golf(Fairmont has a nice course overlooking the ocean), Bermuda Aquarium Museum Zoo was the cutest place, bought tickets the same day, and last adventure was at the Crystal and Fantasy Caves(lots of people here so arrive before 12/1PM) Lots of bar nearby the caves.
