College Spring Break Calendar

[Shifra]

I remembered that last year the schedule for spring break was posted and it was quite helpful in planning cruises. I found the updated schedule for 2010 and wanted to share it.

Thank you so much

Shifra, thank you so much for this information. I was thinking of going on another cruise or to Disney for my birthday. Now that I looked at the schedule, I will have to think twice about when to go.

See you in november,

Judy

I am booked during the worst week ! :eek:

Luckily, my daughter and her husband are grad students at U. of Michigan--which has a really early break starting on Feb.27. They are going on a cruise with us that week, but we shouldn't be inundated with kids of all ages.

Going through the Panama Canal that week. Sure hope that they don't choose that route. :eek:

Thanks for the info... One thing to consider is that very few of the "Spring Breakers" will be on cruises longer than 7 days...

That's awesome! It's nice to know that my late February cruise should (probably) be pretty spring break free!

 

Thanks!

The scary thing it that my college is not even listed and I'm sure that it is not the only one.

I didn't see UCLA on it...that's a lot of kids

[Sox Fan Cruiser]

That's funny because my little business school, Bentley College (Oops, University, it just got Univ. accreditation) was on there! I didn't expect to see it.

My daughters University isn't on the list either. It is one of the bigger private Universities in the Northwest, so I was surprised it wasn't listed.

Did you both see that there was a second page? (It says "continue" really small at the bottom)

 

P.S. Just went back and checked. UCLA is on the second page. March 15 - 19.

Great site! Thanks for posting the link :)

[Shifra]

You are all welcome. :) I hope it didn't ruin anyones vacation plans but it is a good thing to know if you are not booked yet. After the college crowd goes back to school you have the families with school age kids cruising in April.

 

If I had to choose I think I would pick families over college break students. Also cruising for more than 7 days.

And the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest are off March 6-14. Ironically, I just printed their school calendar today and just noticed this post:)

Yes, I did see there is a second page, and yes her University is not listed. Also, a friend goes to a University in Florida, and what is list is incorrect.

 

I would say that just figure anytime towards the end of February to the middle of April you will always find spring breaks whether it be K-12 or University level.

 

The list is interesting though.

Thanks for listing it but the list isn't correct for some of the schools just in case someone is using this to plan their cruise.

 

They list University of Central Florida as being on break from 3/29 through 4/2. UCF is on spring break from March 8-March 13 for 2010.

I don't know why but I find this thread very irritating. College students aren't any worse or better overall than any other segment of the population; haven't we all read plenty of threads lately about bad behaviour from a whole range of ages? I just hate this attitude that college kids are somehow a plague to be avoided at all costs and so it's okay to post school break calendars and issue dire warnings. Ageism is still discrimination, even if it's not directed at senior citizens.

Have you ever been on a ship full of rowdy college students on Spring Break?

I have not had any problems with college students on spring break (Princess is not their first cruising choice). It is the junior high/high school kids that seems to cause the chaos I have seen.
