Pre-Xmas on Symphony or Allure in January?

[cravingthis]

We've cruised Eastern and would like try Western for the first time.

Allure will be refurbished and has a sailing the last week of January 2021.
 

Symphony has a sailing the first week of December 2020.

 

Both itineraries and price are similar.
 

Let me know the pros/cons, and if there will be less kids?
 

Thanks so much for your insight and experiences!

Sounds great, I just heard the week of Martin Luther King is busy with kids as well, and the Jewish faith who don't celebrate Christmas.
