Aug Caribbean: Freedom of the seas or Carnival Miracle?

Trying to decide between these two for late August. Both look like fantastic values. This will be only our second cruise, first was Allure Of the seas last Aug, which we loved. Traveling will be us two parents, who love to snorkel (making the Miracle look good), two daughters (9 and 11), and my mother, who decided she’d like to join us after hearing about all the fancy things my 9yo loved on the allure. Would we be bummed on carnival? Bored kids? Seasick on the smaller ship? Freedom’s stops also look fantastic... would appreciate any experienced thoughts.

We’ve sailed many times on the Miracle.

The Miracle has an easy deck plan, all decks run the length of the ship.

 

Miracle has several special Cabin styles - French Door Interiors, Obstructed by the lifeboats but some have views between them; Obstructed Balconies, most are only Obstructed looking down; Balcony connected to Inside, there’s a few of this combination all the way forward.

Although Carnival Miracle has been my favorite ship from this line so far, I would choose the Freedom because of it’s itinerary and more stuff to do for the kids.

Thank you, appreciate all your thoughts. Both the itineraries look amazing to me, but I think we're going to go with the Freedom this time. I think the kids will be happier on the larger ship. :)

 

Thanks again!
