Southern, Eastern or Western?

[jo24]

Western so far (out of Eastern and Western) but very much looking forward to Southern!!

[George C]

We do all 3, but because of St Marten I will pick eastern

[RCCL Fan]

Southern and Western for me.

 

 

Southern because you go to places with more international influences, and unique cultures.

 

Western for the variety: Cozumel is party day, Grand Cayman is complete and total paradise, Jamaica is poor but beautiful, and Labadee is Rest and Relaxation day.

 

I've never been a fan of the eastern route. Other than SXM the islands do little for me, the water tends to be more rough, more sea days, 2.5 stops vs 3 or 4 on west.

Eastern for me & Western for DH :)

Southern for the great beaches.

Western for Cozumel which is one of my favorite ports (but I know some people would rank it WAAAAAY down the list).

 

Actually, I prefer almost anything that doesn't include Jamaica, as it's possibly my least favorite port, from Kingston to Falmouth to Mo. Bay (and I'm guessing for some folks it's their favorite island).

Same here!

I love Cozumel but Jamaica is always included in Western so it's off my list.

Really a shame that the gov't doesn't do anything to protect tourists from being harassed and feeling threatened.

Been there twice and both times a very negative experience. :(

It depends on the ship. For instance, most of Navigator of the Seas' Western Caribbean itineraries stop at Belize, Roatan and Cozumel.

They have a DIFFERENT Western Caribbean that stops at Cayman, Falmouth Jamaica and Cozumel.

Southern, then Southern, then Southern. We love the beach and have been to the most amazing beaches on Southern itineraries...St. Lucia, St. Marten, Antigua, St. Croix, Tortola...just love the beaches!!

Eastern over Western. Haven't done a Southern yet but I bet I would like it the best.

[OCruisers]

We like all three! We especially love going to the Virgin Islands (both US & British) so guess Eastern is our favorite. :)

Southern all the time!!:D

[JimAOk1945]

We have done all three. The thing that stands out in my mind as being different about the Western itineraries is the opportunities to see the Mayan Ruins. That is a big plus for us. We enjoyed Uxmal, Chichen Itza, Kohunlich, Lamanai, and Tulum so far.

 

The Eastern and Southern itineraries are great for water related activities.

 

Cruising is a great way to see the world.

[OCruisers]

Southern all the time!!:D

Which is your favorite port of call when taking a Southern?

Southern for beaches and snorkeling- especially when including Aruba, Bonaire, and/or Curacao.

Snorkeling in BONAIRE is especially good! :)
