For those interested, I found a website that lists the 2005 Spring Break Schedules for many Colleges and Universities throughout the U.S.
The link requires Adobe Acrobat in order to view it.

Thank you, ekerr. I think a lot of people are interested. Easter/Springs breaks are the hardest to figure and as your list shows school vacations are widely spread out.
We want to be cruising next March and the great deals my TA has found on Radisson are looking better all the time after looking at this list. You can cruise on Radisson 7 Seas for about the same price as a suite on some HAL ships plus all tips and wine/alcohol are included.

Thank you! This well help me to know when to AVOID the ships, beaches, and other sites where "girls gone wild" and "guys out of control" will rampage. :D ;)

Likewise! Thanks for the link. Looks like the entire month of March is a no-go.

Yes, unfortunately I didn't think to check it before we booked the 3/20/05 Volendam because last spring we cruised 4/3 and missed all the colleges. This year, our kids are out 3/19/05 - 3/26/05 and will be missing the first three days back, but we normally let them as they do bring homework and other assignments to do on the plane & ship.
Peaches - you mentioned your TA is getting great deals on Radisson - our TA has told us we might want to look at Radisson next year (just DH & I - we wouldn't take the kids) and she was saying there are some good deals out there and forwarded me some awesome promos, many of the European cruises were two-for-one! My DH likes the idea of tips and wine/alcohol being included. I think I may see about some pricing - I always said I'd stick with HAL, Radisson might be the only other line I'd consider trying.

Thanks for the link. We have back-to-back cruises then - each 10 days - doubt if we will have any college students on our ship.
Looking over the dates, we get off the Volendam on Mar 20 and some of the schools don't start spring break till the 21st.

doone-
We are looking forward to the cruise as well! I'm excited about the Volendam - we've wanted to sail on her for a long time, just haven't had the opportunity.
Maybe we can persuade KK to stay on board for another 10 days???? It would be an honor to sail with all you veterans!
