racepoint Posted March 4, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2006 We are taking our two teenagers out of school for a 3/18 So. Caribbean cruise. I had assumed all along there would be quite a few other kids their age on board, but after reading these threads, I'm starting to wonder. What can I expect for a 3/18 cruise as far as kids on board? Is it Spring break anywhere? Are there other parents with teens sailing on Golden this week??? (Don't suggest the Roll Call for this sailing. For a sold-out cruise, not many people have posted on the Roll Call so I figured I'd get more hits here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted March 4, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I can only speak for Arizona - but our break ends on 3-19. I believe California is the week after ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted March 4, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2006 The city of LA school district always takes the week off before Easter. Catholic schools in our area tend to take the week after Easter. I would guess if you have a large number of students on your cruise, they'll probably be college students as the "spring break" is spread out over four weeks or so.

OnlineMom Posted March 4, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2006 We'll be taking our Kindergardeners out of school for a cruise on the CB 3/18-3/25. Their actual spring break, however, isn't until next month - 4/10-4/15. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted March 4, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2006 It's Spring Break somewhere during March and April. We learned about California the hard way when we visited D.C. in April.:( It looked as though half that state's school kids were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted March 5, 2006 #13 Share Posted March 5, 2006 That link is a list of college spring breaks. The OP was referring to secondary schools, I would think. I seemed to remember some months ago someone posting a more comprehensive listing (I think of local school districts) on the family thread.

If there are 10x as many colleges out on a given week, it is likely a typical sample of what to expect IMHO.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepoint Posted March 5, 2006 Author #15 Share Posted March 5, 2006 As Cruisin' Chick picked up, I was really looking to find out if my younger teens would have company their age on board for the week of March 18th. I can see by the Spring Break roster that was linked, there are alot of colleges out at that time. Anyone with teens on the Golden for 3/18-3/25???

Cruisin' Chick Posted March 5, 2006 #16 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I saw the word "teen" in the OP so I figured the poster wasn't thinking of college-aged students. Los Angeles grade/secondary schools have been taking off the same time (week before Easter) ever since I was in grade school in the 60s so I'm guessing that maybe other areas base their break on that, rather than on the calendar. When we were in Key West in March 01, we found ourselves in "Spring Break Hell". A hotel employee was apologetic and said that now college spring breaks were being staggered over a month so that not every college was taking off at the same time and overwhelming the usual destinations.

c_galle Posted March 5, 2006 #17 Share Posted March 5, 2006 That spring break was about 5-6 weeks long. Last Week in Feb till the first in April or so. A different girl each week. To be young again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
