Probably the only reason anyone would feel a difference in the few more college age students is because the older crowd still thinks there is a Spring Break. Back in 2000, there were over 5000 students in Negril in any one of the 5 usual weeks of Spring Break. Last year, for those same 5 weeks there was less than 1000 students total - maybe 250 during the busiest week.
There is really no spring break in Negril anymore.

Hi Rob,
What was it in 2000 that brought so many Spring Breakers to Negril (yes the beach, the vibe, etc..) was it like Mike_D says before 9-11 the ease of travel or was it the MTV hype that had discovered Negril??? I first traveled to Jamaica (Negril - Red Ground) in 1975 while in Ft Lauderdale was not into the scene and saw in a travel agency window the famous Jamaica Tourist Board poster of the beautiful girl. Bought an AJ ticket In Miami and that was it
