Spring Break 2020

Could someone tell me when spring break is please. Sailing either out of New York or Miami.

 

Thank you.

As discussed here frequently, Spring Break is not just one week. It is heaviest over 2 or 3 weeks.

 

I doubt there will be much "Spring Break effect" sailing from New York.

There will be with regards to pricing.  While there will not be the typical booze cruise shorter cruises from there, it is a peak family sailing time and the prices will (in many cases) reflect that.

 

And to echo your comments to the OP, Spring Break can typically be anytime between early March to early April.  I know that many of the Universities around us (Eastern PA) have their Spring Break this year in mid-March while some of the High School districts are in early April. So it is over a period of time - not a specific week.

Easter is April 12 in 2020.  Other than colleges, schools often schedule spring break around the Easter holidays.  But you can judge when cruise lines think spring break will be by checking pricing.  EM

At the college/university level, spring break is all over the calendar and often relates to the midpoint of a semester or trimester as well as the hold outs that go for the "traditional" Easter week (though even that can vary between pre and post Easter Sunday.

Pre-Easter is the usual choice of public school systems while post-Easter is preferred by Catholic school systems.

Mid March is the height of college Spring Break, but pretty much the entire month will have schools out on break.  The first week or 2 in April is typically grade school Spring Break so you'll see more families with kids.

Many primary/secondary schools still tie the break to before or after the ecumenical Easter which is April 12 in 2019.   Colleges tend to be more flexible in their scheduling.     Our state colleges here (NC) break on March 8 in 2020.
