Western Caribbean choices

[md80fan]

I recently completed my first ever cruise which was on a Oasis class ship / Eastern Caribbean which I loved. I am now looking at doing another Oasis class cruise and am looking at a Western Caribbean. My two choices are

 

1. Nassau / Cozumel / Roatan / Costa Maya

2. Labadee / Falmouth / Cozumel.

 

The excursion's really do not matter as I stayed close by the ports / dock on my last (and only ) cruise.

 

I really enjoy the views of the islands / ports as we pull in and out of port as well as sitting in port sitting on the balcony looking out at the scenery.

 

Nassau / Cozumel really does not hold much interest to me this would be a more Roatan vs Falmouth in terms of views / scenery in the ports. I do not mind staying in the cruise port bubbles (like I read about for Falmouth) if I want to get off the ship to wander around a little bit.

 

Just curious on thoughts for people who have done these trips which they have enjoyed.

 

I realize that the Western side is more flat vs the Eastern side in which we visited St. Maarten and enjoyed the views of the mountains etc...…

I'd rather go to Roatan over Falmouth.

I'd rather go to Roatan over Falmouth.

 

Any day of the week I would choose Roatan over Falmouth. We love Roatan and are looking forward to going back there in December on Allure

Roatan was fabulous!. The snorkeling is exceptional and the people are lovely.

I would definitely pick a cruise with Roatan over Falmouth.

I'd be perfectly fine never going back to Falmouth again.

Imho none of the Oasis class ports hold any interest. I cruise them for the ships.

I agree with the comments above about Falmouth. But I do love me some Labadee and usually seek out itineraries that include it. I also enjoy Cozumel. I have yet to visit Roatan or Costa Maya and would probably pick that itinerary for a little variety if it were my cruise.

 

However if you have yet to do the Labadee -> Falmouth -> Cozumel itinerary and are comfortable staying within the port area, that's probably the option I would recommend.

I'm happy never to go back to Falmouth again. Love Costa Maya so that would be my choice.
