skatie Posted April 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2008 After experiencing a marvelous cruise Feb 24 08 on Mariner, we're looking to book another cruise in Feb-March 09, but want to avoid the heavy spring break times. Here in Canada, our Spring break is typically around mid March (10-17 approx). When are the heavy break times in US for high schools and Universities? Thanks!

Sue L Posted April 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2008 This was this years schedule, next year is just about the same, Easter is later next year though so those vacations will be mid April http://www.tripsmarter.com/panamacity/springbreak/sbcalendar.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbiecruiser09 Posted April 8, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Our public school (k-12) spring break is April 3-10 in 09. Many of the school systems around here take either the week before or the week after Easter for their spring break. Happy Planning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 8, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Expect lots of "young'uns" from March through April---all of the US schools break at different times, depending on whether they have 6 or 9 week schedules. And all of our schools START at different times of the year! some begin before Labor Day, some don't start until a week after! Plan on that being prime "kid" time. But, don't worry--RCI keeps them busy and they won't be a bother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedcruzr Posted April 9, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The whole month of March is practically spring break season. Our (college) spring break is March 6 (5pm) to March 16 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixCruiser Posted April 9, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Easter isn't until April 12 next year, that will move a lot of breaks into mid April. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYsmom Posted April 9, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2008 We are from the midwest. Typical spring break is around the 3rd full week in March. Looks like March and early April 2009 will be busy next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted April 9, 2008 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2008 February should always be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetireeWannabee Posted April 9, 2008 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Easter isn't until April 12 next year, that will move a lot of breaks into mid April. ### Not around here it won't. Spring Break is independent of Easter. Grade schools here start 2nd week of March and there are some schools off in each of the next 3 weeks. Don't know about colleges, usually earlier.

MDSue Posted April 9, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have travelled over Sprink Break 2 years in a row and have not had any problem with the amount of children or college age adults onboard. I work for the school system so maybe I'm just used to having children around, but they really are not a problem. I think you just need to choose your ship and itinerary carefully, if you are concerned. Probaly your travel agent would know which ships are better choices for older or more sedate crowds.
