Which ship would you prefer for a shorter cruise?

Paradise was my least favorite, the rooms are old and the food wasn't as good IMO. Everything else is similar, I would pick for the ports, price and drive distance.

Thanks so much for all the responses. Would you believe I'm now considering Victory out of Miami...just what I didn't want to do was drive a long way for a short cruise, but it's Key West and Cozumel, two of our favorite places. Paradise is the same price and the same date (8/29/13), but only goes to Cozumel. The good part is Tampa is sooo much closer. So, do we drive 4 hours for the Key West stop or have a 2nd sea day and only drive 75 minutes?? Decisions, decisions.

 

Even though we've never done Half Moon Cay, I just cannot get excited over the other Bahamas stops. Someday I do want to Half Moon Cay, but would like to combine it with stops other than the Bahamas on a longer cruise.

 

Thanks again for all of the different opinions. It's so nice to get input from others!

We love the FAascination, if you are a beach baby, do the cruise that goes to Half Moon Cay, if not, choose the trip to Key West. Have fun!
