March Break

[Rako20]

Can anyone tell me when the March break sailings start, I was thinking about a late Feb cruise by don't want to get caught up with the wild parties.

[Cruises are the best]

March break in New Brunswick , Canada is the first week of march !

[debates2]

My son's spring break is March 12-16.

[PhoenixDawgCruising]

In the US, Spring Break is any time between March 1 all the way through the end of April. Many districts, such as ours, use Easter as the starting or ending point, my kids are off March 22-April 7. But every district is different.:)

Thanks, I but I was more interested in the US March break schedule

Our kids, the last week in March.

Don't forget college breaks.

They start any where from the end of February to the beginning of April.

My son is in college and his spring break is the first week in March and his friend who is also in college has his spring break the third week in March.

Our kids is March 23-April 1 in Chicago suburbs. Late Feb, you may run into Presidents week(east coast) Unless you are talking last week of Feb.

My sons is the week before Easter which is why we'll be on the Oasis starting March 31!

City of Chicago regular track is April 2-6, year round track is march 26-April 6. My kids in the burbs are on break march 26-30

Texas university starts March 16th.

The University of Missouri's Spring Break is the last week of March. My suggestion to you is to book a 7 night cruise. Since it cost more, there will be less students. Or do what we are doing, Fly to San Juan and cruise the Southern Caribbean. Most students go to ports they can drive to and prefer the 3 - 5 day cruises because of cost.

Last year on the Allure of the Seas, during our March break there were 1700 kids under 18.

i find the drunk 50 somethings by the pool more annoying than the "wild parties" you speak of.

[cb at sea]

Spring break doesn't necessarily mean "wild parties" (unless you're on a 3-4 nighter!)...it means there will be lots of families aboard.

 

It's nothing to concern yourself about....the ships sail pretty much full all the time, anyway. If you don't want to "party"...don't! Very simple! There's plenty to do for everyone's tastes!

Creighton University, Omaha, NE is the first week of March! My fiance and I will be taking advantage of it by sailing that week!

[groverdmg]

Most public schools in Michigan are last week of March to first week of April. They end Easter. Colleges in Michigan tend to me 2nd to 3rd week of March.

Reposting what I posted on a similar thread earlier this month:

 

Estimated 2012 College spring break statistics from tripsmarter dot com (they actually break it down by university in case you want to cruise with alums and show off your school colors:)):

2/27 - 250,173

3/5 - 1,627,713

3/12 - 1,003,165

3/19 - 1,269,073

3/26 - 494,638

4/2 - 102,224

I'm in college, and our break begins March 19 - I think it's a bit later than most in SC, though.

 

I suggest that you just avoid the entire month of March - it's going to be crazy! :D

I am 42. My wife is 33. We cruise the Monarch in March once... we were the old couple on board... the kids were polite, but I got a little tired of being called "sir" after awhile. You see people being sick in the most inopportune places more often than at other times.... and there is noise all night long... and forget about getting anywhere near the pool deck or in the pool on sea days....

 

I won't go in March again.

[Rako20]

Thanks everyone for your imput. I think the end of Feb should work for me.

We always Cruise March/April time frame and have never had a problem with wild crazy college parting or unruly younger kids. We either book 14 plus day Cruises or B2B 7 day Cruises. I've heard the shorter Cruises attract more families and college students.
