Half Term Cruise

[trbarton]

I just saw on the Princess Facebook site where someone mentioned that they were on a “Half Term Cruise” with their family. Has anyone heard of this term & can explain what it means?

It's not a cruise term.  It's a British term for halfway thru a school segment.

could also refer to the halfway point of a full-term pregnancy ?  a pre-baby cruise ?

The British school year is divided into three terms, traditionally named Michaelmas, Lent and Trinity, each of which is divided in two by a mid-term break. At the end of each half term, in October, February and May, there is a week long "half term" holiday.

I've just come off a princess 'half-term cruise'. I am a teacher and it is our half term in the UK - a week's holiday. On Sapphire Princess. Lots of Americans were confused why there were so many children on the cruise!
