I’ve been creeping on all your helpful tips for years (thank you thank you!) & now have the first world problem of deciding what ship and cabins to book for Europe before they cabins we have our eyes on are scooped up. Itineraries visit similar ports except one includes Malta (itinerary isn’t as important as some in the party have been to all of the ports). Would sure appreciate your insight too! It’s likely the same dilemma I’m sure a few of you have had before: Older Ship Suite Cabin vs. Newer Ship Non-Suite Cabin (but two cruises) for a very similar price.
Here are our options:
ONE CRUISE ONLY
11 Night from Barcelona to Athens on Voyager May 16-27, 2024
Includes Malta
Newer Spacious OV Panoramic Suite (1804)
NextCruise $600 credit and double Crown & Anchor Points
Last time I was on Voyager she was the largest ship at sea- it’s been a while!
*Would we want a balcony though with the Greek ports to take in the sunset though? Santorini specifically*
OR….
TWO CRUISES (like a B2B but we’re switching ships at the same port)
7 Night Rome to Rome on Oasis May 19-26, 2024 (Western Med- Italy/France/Spain usual)
Central Park Balcony (very familiar & with these ports not much to see unless you drive inland anyways)
NextCruise $100 credit
FOLLOWED BY
7 Night Greek Isle Cruise Rome to Rome on Odyssey May 26-June 2, 2024 (Mykonos, Santorini, Ephesus)
Spacious OV Balcony on the Aft OR Junior Suite also on the Aft (any recommendations for which class of cabins on Odyssey? Never been on a Quantum Class ship)
NextCruise $100 credit (we have two of these- if we go with the Voyager I’ll just find something else to book)
What would you do? I may have been overthinking so much the answer is likely right in front of me- hoping fellow cruisers can see the obvious (that maybe I apparently can’t!).
TIA!
