AandBmom Posted July 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2016 We're looking at cruising the first week of January. Anyone have experience cruising around then. It's Canadian school break. Is it the US break too? Does that ship handle lots of kids well? Thoughts? We have 4 little ones ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2016 We're looking at cruising the first week of January. Anyone have experience cruising around then. It's Canadian school break. Is it the US break too? Does that ship handle lots of kids well? Thoughts? We have 4 little ones ourselves. Most of our schools here in the US will be back in school by the 2nd week of January...However I would tend to think that they will be getting ready for school the first week (and not on a cruise) or at least my son assumes his students will be. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulders Posted July 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Which ship? I'll have 3 kids in 3 different school systems this coming year. Two in Ontario universities and one in US K-12. One of the university students and the US school student go back on January 9 and one of the university students goes back on January 4. There are a lot of international students on cruise ships, so it's not just US and Canadian school schedules that are a factor. IME, there will still be plenty of kids on a cruise that time of year.

Cruisin' Chick Posted July 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Depends on the school district. The Los Angeles Unified School District (the second largest in the country) used to return around Jan 2 or 3 when I was in school years ago. Now it's usually the second week of January. Colleges do vary from the first week through the third week of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musik07 Posted July 31, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I teach at a charter in Philadelphia and we do not go back until 1/9 this year. I am debating trying to squeeze in a quick get away to somewhere either alone or with some friends! The rest of the schools in the area go back on 1/3.

OCruisers Posted July 31, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Normally, the school aged children/teens return 1/2 or 1/3. Those in college are often later returning to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
