mom42 Posted June 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Trying to decide on our next cruise we are planning for January 2019. Trying to decide between an Eastern or Southern Caribbean from Miami. I know both would be beautiful but looking for feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted June 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2017 What are the specific ports? Are you wanting shopping and beaches? If so, then eastern is great. I would chose southern however for two reasons: 1) less common and 2) more cultural. Aruba is beautiful and an off road trip to north shore is one of our favs. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom42 Posted June 22, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted June 22, 2017 SO ports are Aruba Grand Turk curaçao and la romana. Eastern is San Juan Grand Turk st Kitts and st Martin. I don't really care about shopping looking more for great beaches clear water and history/culture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationmom0103 Posted June 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've done the eastern a few times...love love love St. Maarten...however in a few weeks I'll be doing a southern and can't wait! Aruba is beautiful as well...you really can't go wrong with either[emoji3]. Maybe the ship can help you decide??

lucy2mb Posted June 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I vote for Southern. Eastern is our least favorite in Caribbean. We have been to the ports mentioned above but our Southern this January is going Aruba, Curacao, Amber Cove and Santo Domingo. Loved Aruba and Curacao on our other Southern cruise but have not been to Amber Cove or Santo Domingo. Southern is higher price than Eastern though.

Drrandall Posted June 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Southern fo sho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom42 Posted June 22, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thank you for the feedback. We plan on going on the Horizon. The Southern will sail on January 12th and Eastern On January 26th. I know both will be fun. We've done the Eastern before but not St Kitts or St Martin. The only Port we've been to on the So is Grand Turk. I just can't decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted June 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Southern for sure. Curacao and Aruba are probably our two favorite islands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted June 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've done my "ABC's" and enjoyed it. If you make it to Aruba, just be warned it is WINDY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted June 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'll go for Southern again. We like Aruba. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum6264 Posted June 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Go Southern! Curacao is amazing (my favorite port), and Aruba has some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. You can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
