We're going on a cruise and we'll be visiting those two ports in April. Does anybody happen to know what the weather might be like there in early April. Weatherbase.com shows that it might be pretty cold there I would appreciate any info

It rains a lot in Galicia; but it never gets very cold. For Vigo (Pontevedra) you should pack a Raincoat w/liner for temps around 10 Celsius (50F).

Gijon (Principality of Asturias) sould be substantially colder if you get caught by a storm coming off the Mar Cantabrico. But it should be well above freezing.
BTW
What Cruise line has Ports of Call at those two cities?? Do they also stop in Lisbon??

As your Cruise ship enters the Ria de Vigo: On your right is Baiona, where Columbus made landfall on return from his first Voyage of Discovery. The Castle of the Conde de Gondomar is now a Parador in Baiona.

On your left is Islas Cies, a nature preserve on which no overnight camping is allowed (but they do it anyway).

Some long-standing rumors tell a story that the Conde and Columbus were cousins, and Columbus offloaded there some Gold and other valuable cargo he had plundered in the New World.
