Brooke71991 Posted August 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I am planning a b2b for april 2019. We are doing an 8 day followed by a 5-6 day. I am going mostly for the places (I love scenic places!) not necessarily the ship, but it is important for the ship to be good as well. I am trying to decide between carnival horizon or sunshine: My choices would be: Carnival Horizon 8 day Grand Turk San Juan St. Kitts St. Maarten Carnival Horizon 6 day Ocho Rios Grand Caymen Cozumel Vs. Carnival Sunshine 8 day Grank Turk San Juan St. Kitts St. Maarten Carnival Sunshine 5 day Amber Cove Grand Turk Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!

Towel Critter Posted August 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Horizon, and not because it will be a new ship, but because the shorter 6 day cruise following the 8 day cruise, to me, has a more interesting itinerary than the second leg of the Sunshine B2B. I would never want to do Grand Turk twice. Not a fan of GT. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansOfTravels Posted August 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Horizon. It is longer, and I hated Amber Cove when I went. Also, Grand Turk is nothing other than a beach IMHO. You will enjoy Grand Cayman, the beaches are gorgeous, and Cozumel is a good time as well. Jamaica is a cool place to go if you're willing to spend money on excursions.

sunshower9 Posted August 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Horizon. Newer ship, longer cruise, and all different ports instead of visiting GT twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted August 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Horizon. More ports and no port repeat. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke71991 Posted August 23, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think Horizon it is then. Thanks everyone for your replies!! And I do plan on booking 1-2 excursions per port, which is why the ports are important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog 52 Posted August 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Alaska, 7 up and 7 back. OOps, Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke71991 Posted August 23, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Alaska, 7 up and 7 back. OOps, Princess. I do not have any interest in Alaska at the moment. Maybe at some point when my children are older. Also, I have got the impression that princess may be a lil too stuck up for my taste. Not to mention the poor whale one of the princess ships showed up with dead in its bow not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNKEITH Posted August 23, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Looks like the consensus is Horizon, I would have said that also. No repeat ports and I would always pick 6 days over 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siora7777 Posted August 23, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Horizon because Grand cayman is the best island on that whole itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted August 23, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Horizon. Newer ship, longer cruise, and all different ports instead of visiting GT twice. What they said... Even though I like GT for a beach day, I would prefer not to repeat on the 2nd leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke71991 Posted August 23, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I have never been to any of these ports, so definitely would like to do as many as I could. Hopefully Horizon fixed many of the problems seen on vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHilla619 Posted August 23, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Are the costs the same? Or is cost not a factor? Either way I am a Sunshine fan, but I would vote for the Horizon here. Brand new ship, an extra day on board, no repeat ports, and ports I haven't been to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke71991 Posted August 23, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The cost are slightly different though not much and not really a factor. I just wanted a decent caribbean b2b and those were the ones I saw. Although there may be more on different ships. I have just noticed many people like sunshine, so I looked at her. And of course Horizon is brand new, so looked at her as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
