John&John Posted February 2, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I was just looking at some of the pricing for President week cruises and the Conquest has resident rates for $359 as well as $369 for the Victory. I am surprised to see such availability as I thought Presidents week was a popular week for families to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingLPN Posted February 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Agree with PP. My kids only have Monday off school. They would still have to miss 4 days of school that week. Too many, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Students here in NYC have President's week off and that's when my daughter and I are traveling. They call it Mid Winter Recess here. We will be in the Triumph and the rates were fairly good for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmt218 Posted February 2, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We will be on the Fascination that week. I was shocked at the low prices too. Here in GA we missed 8 days of school. Some counties took Presidents Day away and other winter vacation days as a snow make up day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwjen Posted February 3, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We're from NY so my kids have off the whole week.. we were surprised at how easily we could get the Fascination for 5 nights out of JAX. (Of course the airfares kill the deal so we are driving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chachi Posted February 3, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Really??:confused:When is it? I think it is February 21st. That is when we get off school. We used to get a full week, now only 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be in the Triumph and the rates were fairly good for us too. you should see how NCL gouged New Yorkers for that week with an all access Nick cruise...really shameful..and I truly understand profit making and supply and demand..... We are paying half of what they are paying President's Week and we are leaving on Easter Sunday...as my kids get the week after Easter off:D They doubled the prices for the week before Easter/Passover as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lablover61 Posted February 3, 2011 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We live in Michigan and our kids our off the whole week. Schools call it Mid- Winter break as someone previously mentioned. We find it a great time to cruise because rates are lower , especially when compared to Easter break, and we found a good amount of families travel then.

Mort13ers Posted February 3, 2011 #15 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Kids in mass have that week off, you usually can get a good price on the cruise, but the airfare could cost 500+ RT which kills the great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why we're driving from NY- FLA !! Our airfare would have been more than double the cost of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soozles Posted February 8, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 8, 2011 My parents are cruising that time on the Liberty. My mom is a school teacher in NY, so she can only go during school breaks. The cruise itself is not too expensive, but the flight from NY to Florida is almost as much as the cruise! They actually had to get airfare through Carnival because they were charging $600 for the airfare and my dad couldn't find anything for less than $800 that week that would get him to Florida in time. And believe me, he looked day and night for a vacation, not just a cruise. He looked at all inclusives, different cruises from different places. The flights are what kills it.

Canadian_J Posted February 8, 2011 #19 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Up here in Ontario (Canada) your President's day is our "Family Day" so most of us have it off too. Not a whole week off but for those who are working its still one day less of vacation to cash in. And that's the week when I'd say 90% of our universities have our week off for reading week. That's why we're Victory-bound for Feb 20! I'll be busy "reading" menus, capers, drink recipes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyexcited Posted February 8, 2011 #20 Share Posted February 8, 2011 here we only have the monday and tuesday off. we are sailing the week before easter which I think has turned out to be the most expensive week of the year :( but that's when DH has off ( he works in a school) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conchead Posted February 8, 2011 #21 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I think it is February 21st. That is when we get off school. We used to get a full week, now only 2 days. Down here it is Presidents DAY 1 day out of school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nybumpkin Posted February 9, 2011 #23 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well, we used :( to sail President's Week - did so for four years, three years out of Florida and one from Galveston. Loved getting away from winter. Flying is a pain and an added expense, but we needed the break. Now DH has gone back into teaching college, so his break and the kids' break no longer line up. They're off in February, he's not. He's off in March, they're not. They're off in April, he's not. You get the idea. So it's summer cruising for us again....

Shipbound Posted February 9, 2011 #24 Share Posted February 9, 2011 That is a big vacation week for the little darlings in the N. E. If you cruise that week I hope you like kids there will be tons on the cruise ships. However, the week before Easter, Easter week, and the week after Easter is worse kids every where.
