Rare trbarton Posted June 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I just saw on the Princess Facebook site where someone mentioned that they were on a “Half Term Cruise” with their family. Has anyone heard of this term & can explain what it means? Tom🤔 Edited June 1, 2019 by trbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemis12 Posted June 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) It's not a cruise term. It's a British term for halfway thru a school segment. Edited June 1, 2019 by bemis12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouremco Posted June 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The British school year is divided into three terms, traditionally named Michaelmas, Lent and Trinity, each of which is divided in two by a mid-term break. At the end of each half term, in October, February and May, there is a week long "half term" holiday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jones721 Posted June 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I've just come off a princess 'half-term cruise'. I am a teacher and it is our half term in the UK - a week's holiday. On Sapphire Princess. Lots of Americans were confused why there were so many children on the cruise! Tracey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
