I am totally torn between two cruises in 2008. I currently am booked on a 4 night in June, after my kids are out of school. We have connecting SPH rooms but because of the time of year, we're paying a premium rate.
The 5 night specialty Magic cruise sails on 9/1 and is considerably cheaper. We can book 2 Cat 6 cabins and still save money, while having an extra day at sea. My dilemma is that I will have a 3rd grader and two DSs in high school. School starts in mid/late August. When we sailed this past September (4 nights) they missed 3 days and I thought it was really hard to get back into the swing of school. The district would permit us to take them out of school so the legality of it isn't an issue for me. My kids are allowed 9 days of absence per semester before running into trouble.
What would you do?
