Coastalbreezes Posted April 14 #26 Share Posted April 14 I was on a B2B in March of this year. Ship was filled to capacity with lots and lots of spring breakers and young kids. The biggest issue for me wasn't the kids but the many drunk and obnoxious PARENTS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wvshimmy Posted May 5 #27 Share Posted May 5 We always cruise in February but try to avoid Jersey week/President's break now, if possible. Did b2bs this year late Feb, early March into mid March. March cruise was same length, 10 days, but busier, but no issues with college spring breakers, more baby carriages, though. 🙃 The 12 day is likely to be very popular with all cruisers as many like the longer ones from NYC and currently the only option. The prices have rapidly increased since our November booking. The March one is an 8 day Bahamas, PC, so might have more college kiddos this year, but don't really expect masses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivia addict Posted May 6 #28 Share Posted May 6 History lesson. The state of Florida did not convince Northern schools to change the date of Spring Break. The shift to giving a break in February instead of April was made during the oil crisis during the Presidency of Jimmy Carter. Schools closed during this cold winter week in Northern states in order to save on oil heating. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted May 6 #29 Share Posted May 6 NYC public school break info: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/calendar/2024-2025-school-year-calendar (Mid-winter recess Feb 17-21, 2015; Spring recess April 14-18, 2025) NJ school break in one township: info: https://www.paramus.k12.nj.us/accnt_308692/site_308693/Documents/2024-2025-Calendar.pdf (no mid-winter break, same spring break as NY) Different NJ township: https://www.monroetwp.k12.nj.us/pdf/District_Calendars/School_Calendar_Next.pdf (Spring break April 18-25, 2025) With regards specifically to "spring break", for comparison NYU college will have it from March 24-28, 2025. So it's all over the place and depends on specifically which crowds you're trying to avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
