This is a very bad decision. You should not schedule the cruise for this time. Surprise her and give her the itinerary for a cruise DURING HER BREAK. That would be a fantastic gift and something she could look forward to.
The issue is not "would the teachers be understanding" the question is are you putting your daughter at a disadvantage during this time. I can tell you, without doubt, that if I had missed a week of school at my University, I would have been at a serious disadvantage and could not have succeeded at the level I graduated by missing a week. Not the way you want your daughter to start her college career.
Skip the cruise in October and choose a time that works better for her.
Missing a week of college as a freshman?
