Spring Break

[BeadsLea]

Hello. My Mum and I are planning a 8 day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean in April of 2018 on Royal Caribbean. There are 2 dates available. April 14 and April 28. We are wondering which one would be better to book to avoid Spring Break crowds. Please advise.

I would say April 28th would be safer.

Welcome to cruise critic.

 

I don't think it would make a difference. I would book whichever date works best for you in terms of price, cabin availability, etc.

 

Spring break usually refers to March cruises. However, with the large number of foreign passengers, different schools, home schooled kids, most cruises sail full with a large number of kids/families on board. You indicated 8-day cruise and longer cruises tend to attract more adults.

Some areas have spring break in conjunction with Easter which is April 1, 2018. So either of those dates would be clear of those Easter breakers.
