Eastern or Western Caribbean for 3 year old?

[MaggieBags]

Hello - We are beginning to plan for a May 2014 cruise on the Allure with our DD who will be just about 3.5 when we leave. Not sure which itinerary to choose - western or eastern caribbean.

 

eastern - Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Nassau, Bahamas; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; Philipsburg, St. Maarten;

 

western - Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Labadee, Haiti; Falmouth, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico;

 

We are mainly interested in laid back beach experiences, close to port as possible.

 

Any insight as to which itinerary might work best with a 3 year old?

I've done both itineraries with a child under 3. I liked the Western better. Doing it again in October with our son who will be 3.5.

We prefer Western with the kiddies!!
