Trying to decide: After Christmas or January

I looks like we will not be able to vacation this summer due to work schedules. I am really thinking of doing a 3 day cruise either Dec. 27 or Jan. 11. We have sailed DCL before in January. We were lucky with the weather except for the Sail-Away Celebration which was inside because it was 40 degrees! The problem with Dec. is $$. It is so much more then, but DS will not have to miss school. If we wait until January, the price is $1000 less and we can have a verandah vs. oceanview in Dec.

Is the cruise that much more special in Dec.? We know what to expect in January.

I'd go with the January trip. In December you're going to pay more, and the ship will be a full capacity +. I've cruised during holiday periods and found it to be less enjoyable. On a three day cruise, your son won't have to miss too many days of school, and you'll probably save a bundle.
