maxwell'sparents Posted November 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2014 DW and i are trying to pick our next (4th) cruise. We've limited it 3 cruises next summer.. Breeze to southern. Grand Turk, La Romana, Aruba, curaçao. 8 days Sunshine to southern. Aruba, curaçao, grand Turk. 8 days Victory to western. b2b 9 days (4/5). Key west, Cozumel / Jamaica, grand cayman. All the ports will be new to us except grand turk on the southern routes. All 3 ships will be new to us. We were on the Liberty in august and loved Guys burgers but missed the layout and serenity pool of the Pride. Price per day is about the same. Which would you do/prefer?

Georgie562 Posted November 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Breeze for the 4 ports. Western on the Victory just sounds boring as opposed to the Southern ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPfromCT Posted November 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Another vote for the Breeze!!!:D:D We did this itinerary in July, and it was AWESOME!!!!:D 2nd time on the Breeze, and she is a BEAUTIFUL ship. Enjoy! Let us know what you decide!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoName Posted November 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I would vote for the Breeze, hands down. You really lose part of a day with the back to back, so the 9 day really becomes a 8 day anyway. I have no desire to sail on the Destiny with more people and less public space. (Lipstick on a pig and all of that....lol) I am looking forward to trying out the Breeze and would love a Cove balcony for the 1st time...and the itinerary looks wonderful.

springs741 Posted November 21, 2014 #17 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Your Victory ports are very common to Carnival and the Destiny er Sunshine well let's just say I love the pig with lipstick comment. Breeze gets my vote as well. Other posters have given you many good reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkcor Posted November 21, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 21, 2014 \I have no desire to sail on the Destiny with more people and less public space. (Lipstick on a pig and all of that....lol) i just want to say that i agree with that in terms of the carnival destiny / sunshine. carnival destiny was my first ship and will always have a place in my heart - i think it may have been my favorite cruise for that reason, but i absolutely do not agree with what they did with her in transforming her to sunshine. i think it was a major faux pas on their part, and should not be done to any other ship. as much as i would like to sail her again 'just to see the changes' i know from my own analysis that they were very bad decisions implemented (in terms of the theater, adding too many new cabins, etc.), and i believe i would pick any ship other than sunshine, for the most part.

SNJCruisers Posted November 21, 2014 #21 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Breeze.....hands down. Loved it last year and Aruba is my favorite port. Been there 3 times over the years. Great climate and non hassling natives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise life Posted November 21, 2014 #24 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Have been to all the ports, but on only one of the ships so far (Sunshine is next on 1/3/15). Love the itinerary for the Southern route, although could do without La Romania, it was just ok. In all fairness, we only went snorkeling so saw just the port area, but in doing our research was not impressed with the excursion options there. The Breeze is a great ship with so much to offer. Even if you missed all the ports, it would be a great vacation spot- wish I could say something about the other ships... I would love, love, love to go back to Aruba and Curacao. Great ports! Have fun:) BTW, we did one of the island highlight tours by bus in Aruba and a city tour in Curacao (the train) along with an evening on our own to the swing bridge and over to the riverfront outdoor bar area where we enjoyed live music and a beer before hopping on the water taxi back across. Highly recommend these activities, we had so much fun there. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
