Feeling the winter blues? There's still time to plan a spring break cruise -- whether you're an educator with a blessed week off, a fun-loving family, a college coed or someone who simply needs to get away for a little sunshine! Each week throughout the month of February, we'll be highlighting a different, fabulous destination -- plus hot new bargains and planning tips.

This Week's Hot Spot: Caribbean

We'd be remiss to close out our month of Spring Break coverage without highlighting the granddaddy of cruise destinations -- the Caribbean! But just because this sunny stalwart is one of the most heavily trafficked regions doesn't mean it's stale for repeat visitors or even first-timers. Need help planning? Check out My First Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean, Offbeat Cozumel and Southern Caribbean: Extraordinary Excursions. And don't miss our just-updated list of last-minute spring break deals!

Spring Break for Students

No more teachers, no more books! Bypass the crazy beach scene for a relaxing week of lounging by the pool, sightseeing in different ports of call and dining on food we have to assume is much better than you're used to in your dorm. However, there are age restrictions and drinking policies. What do you need to know? Read on.

Spring Break for Educators

We understand that for teachers or professors, it's pretty much impossible to be on vacation when kids aren't. You can cruise with mostly (or only!) adults, though, and it all starts with choosing the right one. Did you know that certain ships won't accept passengers under the age of 18? Or that luxury and theme cruises often sail kid-free? Check out these resources for more information.

Spring Break for Everyone Else!

Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's are all a distant memory, but there are still weeks (and weeks) of cold temperatures, ice and snow ahead. Bah, humbug, right? But wait -- Spring Break is not just for families and college co-eds! February through April is the best time to get away from it all, and there are still plenty of bargains floating around.
