Help Choosing Cruise for Family of 4!

[NewToCruising41]

We are looking for a cruise June 2015 leaving from Port Canaveral to the Eastern Caribbean. We are between two and I just can't decide so I am asking you all for your opinions. First is the Carnival Liberty (ports Nassau, St Thomas, San Juan, Grand Turk) and second is Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas (ports Coco Cay, St. Thomas, St. Maarten). Carnival is a bit less expensive but not enough to make the decision. We will be in two staterooms and there are 2 adults and 2 girls (age 5 and 11). Thanks for your help!!!

Hmm....do you care about the ports? If not...pick Carnival...the cabins are larger, and the overall experience is about equal.

 

I do enjoy Coco Cay (the private island of RCI), but could certainly miss it if there were significant savings!

I would look at the ports thinking about what your family enjoys and make the decision that way. I am sure your family will enjpy either cruise.

I think either one would be fine.

 

As mentioned I would look at the ports.

 

Either way I am sure you all will have a great time.

Thanks all! I don't know why I am having such a hard time on this one :eek:

Again, thanks. We decided the Royal Caribbean was the winner since I have always wanted to go to Saint Maarten. Now it's booked and I don't have to worry anymore :)

Good choice. I did an Eastern with Disney last year and St Martin was easily my favourite port.

I did a Bernards shore excursion and it was fantastic. Loved Maho beach.
