Ramrac Posted June 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2013 We have been going through cruises trying to decide what to pick next and can't decide between two. It will be my husband and I and our two sons, 8 and 3. It is between a: 7 day Western Caribbean out of Port Canvaeral on the Dream Cozumel; Belize; Mahongany Bay, Isla Roatan and Costa Maya or 7 day Eastern Caribbean out of Miami on the Conquest Half Moon Cay; St. Thomas; San Juan and Grand Turk Which would you choose? We'd like to go to some nice beaches, do some shopping (not on an excursion) and do something active. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4cruze Posted June 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I'm trying to decide between the same two!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxlady Posted June 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2013 JMO but I would be going to Port Canaveral Mahongany Bay Has the best beach. That is my opinion but I loved it there. Been on both of the choices and good things are at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted June 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The Dream is my favorite Carnival cruise and only ship I love I rate it on par with RC ships. (I have not been on the Breeze yet) If you use Pt. Canaveral considering if your driving it take you less driving time and probably one night less to stay in hotel on the road I assume....you can make it from VA to Pt. Canaveral in a day. I hate Belitz the most horrible place we ever visited DO NOT LEAVE THE GATES without being with a tour or your own tour guide!! I don't care for Cozumel either and Costa Maya just ok Half Moon Cay if your into beach or water sports I love this place. St. Thomas you can do a tour of the island which is nice or go to Megans Bay nice beach. San Juan is nice to see Grand Turk beautiful beach Isle Roatan we liked nice beach area too Then I would look into dry dock both were one month apart sept/oct 2012 so that is equal The Dream has the pasta bar area very good I have to admit More shopping on Conquest ports What is the price difference?

Sargent_Schultz Posted June 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Based on those itineraries I would pick Dream. On ships: Dream has a great Serenity area, Conquest doesn't. I prefer the Fish and Chips on Conquest and Dream has none. WE love Belize. Conquest has Guy's Burger Joint - Dream didn't last time we cruised on Dream, but might now.

The price different is within $20 from each other, so not a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed93 Posted June 23, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I would go Dream, I would get a spa cabin, I would spent the day in Belize eating conch fritters and Belikin at the Wet Lizard, I would go to Maya Chan in Costa Maya and I would enjoy the beach and water at the other two ports. But that's just me... ;) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
