when does "spring break" generally fall?

[MamaParrotHead]

Looking at a Triumph cruise, either 4/14 or 4/28, and want to avoid all the kids. Thanks!

My childrens schools have spring break starting this coming Monday ,March 13th for the entire week.

We live in Texas..All school districts are a little different.

Colleges also have different spring breaks.

Our cruise in on April 23th..Hopefully all spring breaks will be over before then.

You're probably safer going with the later date. Easter is late this year and 4/14 may still have spring breakers who usually get the week after Easter off.

Spring break times vary upon schools. College kids --our university's break is 3/13-3/17. My children, spring break falls the first week of April.

We are from Ga. and we'll be on the Glory 4/1 - 4/8 on our break.

You have to figure in college spring breaks too so best to say it's around Easter plus or minus 4 weeks and that should be your safe haven for booking without a lot of kids on board.

Our district in MN has spring break from April 9 - April 14.

And our break in another part of MN is March 27 thru April 3.

 

Here is a link to a great website that another CC'er had posted in the past. It shows when major colleges/universities are on break.

I don't think you'll ever avoid all the kids...but maybe that link can help avoid the 'peak' times.

Thanks Caprcorn! Unfortunately, we're going during major college break time (3/20), but that's when our son has break so we're kind of stuck!:)

[caprcorn28]

No problem ;)

[Buffy2323]

We'll be on the Glory 4/1-4/8 which is when my kids are on spring break. Good luck with your planning :)

[Buffy2323]

We are from Ga. and we'll be on the Glory 4/1 - 4/8 on our break.

Art, I couldn't help noticing your profile. I see you are on our cruise. How old are your kids? Ourse are 8 and 4. Also, my husband is an engineer, too :) Lots of things in common, LOL

that the majority of college kids can't afford to cruise for a week, unless it's with their parents? I've seen it "rumored" on here that most kids go on shorter cruises.:confused:

 

I like kids, but not when there are hundreds of 16-20 year olds, rowdy and trying to get bombed out of their minds on my vacation, LOL. :D And don't get me wrong, I love little kids, (I have 2 of my own, and I'm an inhome child care provider), it's just when DH and I can get away every few years, I prefer it to be with adults.

[brianroberts2526]

My SB starts 3/13 and my fiance's starts 3/6

Take the 4/28 cruise. 4/14 is too close to Easter. The college where I teach is on spring break April 9 - 16. Lots of K-12 are on break the week after Easter.

With schools all taking a break at different times, it generally runs from early March to late April. The 4 counties around here are all on different schedules.
