Do kids still get a fall break?

[Honeybear]

Will Oct 13 (our cruise) be on fall break? PLEASE tell me no!

Depends on the school system. Some schools are year round, some are still on traditional. The one county I know of in the Atlanta area that has year round school had a Fall break last week.

Hate to tell you but it is fall break in our county and surrounding counties that week. We are in NW Tennessee.

But a glimmer of hope-My brother in law lives outside Tampa and they do not have fall break. He said none of the surounding counties that he knows of do either. Maybe if the schools close to your port are not out there will not be too many children on your cruise.

How are you HoneyBear. I haven't seen you here in a while. I remember you by the town you live in. That has to be the best if you get stopped by a cop, or just in conversation at the card table on a cruise. Are they still having the get together every year in town for superman??

We get a "fall break" and ours is the 3rd week in October....which is why we're cruising then. I work for our school system, so our vacations are limited to school breaks.

 

Last October we also cruised over "fall break" and boy, there were VERY few kids on board. My son's Camp Carnival age group (10-12 yr olds) on the Conquest had only 6 to 8 kids signed up for the cruise. Approx. the same for my 16 yr old DD's group. My 9 yr olds group had a bit more kids, but still only roughly 15-20. WAY less than spring break, summer break, etc.

 

BTW: Last time we drove to Florida (Disney World 2 summers ago) we stopped in Metropolis and spent the night! Ran into nothing but the nicest people!

Living in Florida, the students here don't get a "fall break". They do have a 3 day weekend in mid October as that is the end of the 1st nine weeks for them. You will find more "fall breaks" up north and the mid west. October is a wonderful time to cruise as long as you don't have a "Wilma" lurking in the caribbean!

[Honeybear]

You are the nicest bunch of people! You remember me because of my hometown! You've been here and had very nice things to say. I appreciate you all. Yes, even the ones with the bad news! lol.

 

DH has a Superman t-shirt to wear the first day. As you said, for a conversation peice. Ummm, maybe I need to get a Superman shirt for me too? Whatcha think? Yep, we do still have Superman weekend here every year and you are all welcome! lol

 

I "love" kids, I really do! But I don't like the ones that "drink and think they are all of that" or drink and empty their stomachs everywhere. That's what I was concerned about. But someone said College kids don't get fall breaks? Befor I get into trouble, I know all college kids don't act like that. I have one that wouldn't drink a drop. But, I know several that would. ;)

I've never heard of Fall break, and I think I might be able to speak of all of Canada (correct me if I'm wrong, Canadians!)

I live in North Alabama and it is Fall Break for three of the school systems in the area the 2nd week of Oct and the system where I live, Fall Break is the 3rd week of Oct. We have two friends crusing the 2nd week out of Mobile and we're crusing out of Miami on the 3rd week, as another friend we know.

 

There's another county nearby who only gets 2 days off for Fall Break, not enough for a cruise.

[SunnyinMA]

Nothing of the sort up here in New England as far as I know. We just get the Feb, winter break along with the Dec and April breaks.

[marvlgirl]

I live in San Diego and the fall break here isnt until November. Starts the Monday before Thanksgiving until the following Friday. That isnt all schools but some of them. The only break in October is a 3day weekend. Hope that helps.

[crazycruzer68]

We live in Northern Ky and yes we and alot of others are on fall break that week.

NOPE no fall break here!!

[irishgirl]

Never heard of a fall break here in Michigan.

[stephuney]

My kids get fall break the second week of October ... middle Tennessee

[Smiling Cruiser]

Many of the schools in New Jersey have a break during the Nov. 4th week. Colleges do not have that break, just primary and secondary schools.

[KOOLBEANS]

Sorry, but the last 2 days that week is fall break, throw in a teacher workshop for the 3rd day and taking dd out of school the 1st two so she can cruise with us during fall break. I can't wait!! I understand about the kids that shouldn't be drinking and stuff.

[nothomeonacruise]

We've never had fall break in my area of Florida. I guess it would make a difference if we actually had a fall.. There is a one day holiday, but that's it.

[beccadoby]

We have friends in TN and they are having Fall break the week before your cruise.;)

 

Sis-in-law teaches in another southern state and they are also having Fall break that week.

 

We have no FAll Break:( (Savannah, GA)

Fall Break for Tulsa, Oklahoma and surrounding communities is (one or all of)the 17th through the 19th of October.

[sandy toes]

Fall break the weekend of Columbus Day, actually just a long 4 day weekend for us...S/S/M/T. Then, the entire week of Thanksgiving the kids are off. So many parents (and kids) take extended trips and attnedance is always down so they voted several years ago, to close schools that week.

[kennedyclan]

we live 15 minutes from port canaveral and our daughter is in year around school here is florida and is out of school starting this week until mid oct. so that is why we are on the glory i 6 days. however there are very few schools in this area that are year around.

[jetskier]

For Lamar County in Mississippi Fall Break is Oct 11 and 12th with a teacher's workshop on Oct 15th. That gives the kids five days off. Luckily there is a 4 day sailing that leaves out of New Orleans on Oct 11th and comes back in on Oct 15th. My kids do not have to miss any days of school.
