illiniwahoo Posted November 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) We want to take a 4 day cruise in early January while our in-laws watch the kids. Due to their schedule, and that we don't want to leave the kids for longer than 5 days, are are looking at 4 night cruises on the following ships. In reading reviews the ships sound very similar. Any compelling reason to pick one ship over the other? Sensation Pro: direct flights at good times Con: only goes to Bahamas and I'm worried it will be cold the second week of January. Triumph or Paradise Pro: cozumel, so better port with less chance of being cold Con: no workable direct flight options. The other choice is RCCL majesty of the seas, which goes to Cuba and is about $500 more, so while cuba would be interesting, I'm leaning towards carnival.

PhillyFan33579 Posted November 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have sailed to both Cozumel and Nassau several times in winter months and there has never been much, if any, of a difference temperature wise. Based on the limited information in your post I would go with Sensation based on the easy flight and because Sensation has an Alchemy Bar, which is high on my list of Carnival features (Triumph has one but Paradise doesn’t).

illiniwahoo Posted November 17, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I think we would love the Alchemy bar! So the paradise is out. Down to two choices. I'm doing more research on Bahamas vs cozumel temperatures tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KmomChicago Posted November 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Did you decide? We actually did a 4 night on Sensation this past January and it was chilly even in the Bahamas and we also had choppy seas. Can't speak to Cozumel temps in January but we also went there on Triumph. We enjoyed both ships so unless the temperature turns out to make a significant difference I would choose based on price / flights / convenience.
