Choosing a cruise

[treevee1985]

I have been searching for a reasonable cruise for months. Initially I was only looking for cruises for the summer time because I four small kids (my mom watches them and will be working during the school year). So now I am looking for April 2018. I have found two cruises and now I am having a hard time picking between the two.

 

1.carnival vista: 8D Eastern Apr 21-29 $1753.54 inside

goes to St Martin, St Kitts, Grand Turk, and San Juan

 

2.Oasis of the seas: 7D Eastern Apr 22-29 $1907 inside

goes to St martin, San Juan, and Haiti.

 

I have never cruised on either, and have never been to any of the ports. What do you all think?

I would hands down do the Vista... 8 days as opposed to 7. Better price. Does Grand Turk much better than Haiti. Brand new ship...

I would go Vista. A little cheaper and one extra day.

Agree!!! Vista!!!

 

1 more day for less money.!!!!

Vista is an easy choice for me here, extra day and better ports. I even think that the Oasis is a cooler ship, but not enough. Last sea day on the Oasis I would be thinking, I could have had one more day for less money.

If you had teens I would say Oasis... but with young kids, the Vista with the extra day would be my pick... plus it costs less....

Another vote for Vista and the extra day. I would dispute sid-1969 opinion about Haiti - Labadee beach is certainly the equal of Grand Turk beach, but that's why the OP asked the question, to get different opinions.

 

Enjoy whichever cruise you wind up booking!
