Rare Tapi Posted January 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2011 7 night Eastern Caribbean on the Liberty. Best ship in the Carnival fleet, wonderful destinations, enough said! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfm69 Posted January 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have not been on the Liberty, but I also recommend doing the Eastern Caribbean. Lots of great ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted January 8, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The Eastern and Southern Carribean are very nice. To cruise the Southern Carribean on Carnival you depart from San Juan P.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcuchio24 Posted January 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I like where these recomendations are headed! I too would advise on Liberty Eastern Itin, great ports, really great ship, can usually get really good deals as well if you are somewhat flexable with dates. We did this itin last year and have Liberty booked again as part of a B2B this year. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelKappie Posted January 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The Eastern and Southern Carribean are very nice. To cruise the Southern Carribean on Carnival you depart from San Juan P.R. You do not need to leave out of San Juan to go Southern though! You can go out of Ft Lauderdale 8 night! San Juan can be more expensive! Also you will have more ports which can be nice, BUT if you enjoy sea days I would go out of Ft Lauderdale! We just did Miracle southern 8 night cruise!!!!!!!:D AWESOME cruise! We did the DR, Aruba, Curacao, were suppose to port at Grand Turk but seas were rough! HIGHLY recommend this cruise and ship! As you will see on other threads Miracle is one the favs of Carnival ships! That ship also goes to St Kitts, St Lucia and St Martin, heard that one is awesome too! Would love to do that one sometime soon! Have fun shopping! LOVE shopping for cruises! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike1964 Posted January 8, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Go for the Victory from San Juan. Several different ports and its always warm there. The Western as of late in the winter can be rather chilly. Our son is in Cozumel today (Elation) and its only going to be 74 for the high:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truchattycathy Posted January 8, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Depends on the time of year. The Eastern can be really cool in the winter. You might look into Galveston. I love Grand Cayman. It goes to Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Cozumel. Have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferfoodle Posted January 8, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Carnival Glory has a Dec. 18th departure from Miami for 8 days that goes to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, San Juan and the Grand Turks. Carnival Miracle also has a Dec. 20th departure from Ft. Lauderdale visiting St. Maarten, St. Lucia and St. Kitts for 8 days. Both of those are Eastern Iteneraries. The prices for these Christmas time cruises are also more expensive than sailing the week before. Most of the other Carnival Caribbean cruises depart on the 17th and offer both the Eastern Western routes. In all cases of these cruises - kids are usually on Christmas break and they will be jammed with families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nassua, Freeport and Key West. Next year for Christmas the New Magic will be in Galveston it's a special 8 night Cruise going to Belize, Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel.

Irishlinny Posted January 8, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I am a big fan of Spirit class ships, so would probably opt for the Miracle out of Ft Lauderdale. Legend out of Tampa is great, too, but you've already been to 2 of those ports. If you are huge fans of the big screen on Lido, though, spirit class doesn't have it (that's actually a plus to us;)). I would never choose a cruise to Nassau and Freeport...there are much nicer destinations....JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydncer06 Posted January 8, 2011 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2011 We previously went to Belize, Cozumel, and missed Roatan on the Carnival Triumph. Were you on the New Years cruise out of New Orleans?? I was on the same cruise. My stepdad was Gerry, if you saw the show the first night... and I was in one of the game shows. We were very sad we didn't get to Roatan. My family and I have decided to take the Legend from Tampa, its the same ports as the Triumph, but Cayman Islands as well.

Grits53 Posted January 8, 2011 #15 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Carnival Miracle also has a Dec. 20th departure from Ft. Lauderdale visiting St. Maarten, St. Lucia and St. Kitts for 8 days. Both of those are Eastern Iteneraries. I also highly recommend the Miracle's 8 day cruise to St. Maarten, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts. They are all beautiful islands, and the Miracle is a wonderful ship. My other favorite would be the Conquest's itinerary of Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Montego Bay, Jamaica. However, by then, the Conquest will be based in New Orleans, doing a different itinerary, and the brand new Magic will be doing this itinerary out of Galveston. If you'd like to try a brand new ship, the Magic would be a great choice. We have done this itinerary several times already and never tire of it.

We have to go sometime during the time frame of the 17th of dec-3rd of january so exxxpensive time We'd love to go on a cruise with more ports of call, you know, just in case you miss one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted January 8, 2011 #17 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I too would recommend a 7 day Eastern. The southern itin out of San Juan is just too busy for me. (A different port every day!), and I'd normally say that "Miracle" would be a good choice, but if the current cruise director (Malcolm Burn) is still aboard when you want to sail, then I'd advise against it. Liberty is a great ship, and the Eastern itinerary is excellent! "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
