Spring Break??

[GT38]

I'm sailing on the Liberty on 9 March. I just realized that several colleges may be on spring break. I hope I didn't schedule my relaxing cruise at the wrong time. Any advise?

Don't try to smuggle alcohol onboard. They will be extra vigilant.

Don't walk on the pool deck late at night, and whatever you do, don't look into the hot tubs!

Several colleges?:eek: You are sailing one of the biggest spring break weeks with over 2 million college kids on break:eek:

Concur

Just shy of 2million on spring break that week:eek:

One of the busiest Spring break weeks and the week after also

 

Happy Days!

Get your camera ready.....guys carrying drunk girls back on board and buddies shoulder to shoulder guiding their drunk selves back on board.

Lets just say the ship toilets will endure some heavy activity. Hope you are not on a lower deck:eek:

Some secondary schools are on spring break, too. We are expecting hundreds of underage humans next week on board the Serenade!

 

:eek: :p ;) :D

There are always plenty of "relaxing" places on the ship...no worries! You probably won't notice any difference from any other cruise.

Oh stop scaring the OP!

 

The college where I teach was on Spring break this past week, and the college that my daughter attends is on Spring break the week the first week of April.

 

Don't sweat it - Liberty is large enough for you to find many quiet places to relax and have fun.

Aw, c'mon Donna! He's been on cruise critic since 2010. I am sure that he is an experienced cruiser.

Actually there are 137 US Colleges on spring break the week of 3/7. Don't fret however, ships always sail at capacity these days so it is not like it will be extra crowded or anything. Enjoy your cruise! :)

Will I see R rated or X rate activities?

I was on a spring break cruise ONCE, unintentionally, and my nickname at the table was grandma...and I was 28. It was awful. Booze cruise doesn't even begin to describe it.

It depends on the kids on board, no way of knowing if you are going to have rowdy college students or tame college students.

 

My 70+ yr old mother usually cruises during spring break. NCL was nuts, Freedom of the Seas wasn't too bad.

 

I know my niece and nephew will be on Allure next week but they are pretty mellow for the most part.

I'm spring break-ing on Indy March 8th. It's going to be innnnnnnsane! I might have TWO glasses of wine at dinner! (Medical school has robbed me of my youth. What is "fun"?)

[lahlah57]

Tame or innnnnnssssssaane......it's a gamble and yes there are quiet areas on a very large ship. Like maybe your cabin;)

It's always been said,"travel is not for the faint of heart"

Who knows....you could learn alot over a spring break;)

I'll be on Liberty that week with my daughter and her friend, both on break from Southern Illinois University. My husband won't be joining us.

 

Maybe I'll do a live review. :)

[lahlah57]

Please.....pictures too! I need to a spring break refresher course!:eek:

Picture the movie Weekend at Bernie's and then multiply that image by 100, and you'll be close to reality on port days:D

[OfTheSeasCruiser]

Longer the cruise, less college kids? I'm considering a 10 night Serenade cruise Mar 18, 2016. Do you think I'd see a lot of wild kids on a cruise like that?

[lahlah57]

I wouldn't think a 10 day. They usually stick to 4 to 7 day cruises!

Refer to the stay out of the hot tub post above for you answer[emoji8][emoji8][emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

[CruisinCons]

Most of the high schools in NJ are off the week before or after Easter, depending on when Passover falls. Those are the cruises to avoid if you don't want to be around a lot of kids. Especially the ones sailing out of Bayonne.
