Which itinerary?

[veruca1130]

Not sure if this is the right place for this question,but, here it goes. I am debating between 2 itineraries(both on the crown princess out of ft. Lauderdale, both in the fall). I would like to get people’s thoughts on which they would choose, and why.

1:Bahamas, st.thomas, Dominica, Grenada, Bonaire, Aruba.

2: Bahamas, st.thomas, st.kitts, st.lucia, Barbados, Antigua

I like the second one. I have been to all these islands and number two would be my choice.

2. would be 4 new ports for us

 

but, we've one 1. and enjoyed it very much ... especially Bonaire snorkeling

[Potstech]

Have done both and would do #2 as it is more ports for the money. Both are great cruises.

I love Barbados but I’d lean toward the first.  Grenada and Dominica are fantastic. The scenery in both is amazing. Roseau Dominica is my favorite Caribbean city.

#1 would be our choice because it takes you to the DEEP Southern Caribbean to two of the ABC islands (Bonaire & Aruba).  Also Grenada (smells like spices & has nice warm water)  is a favorite of ours.

We've to all of these ports multiple times.  Is this your first Caribbean cruise?  Some things to consider:  if you like snorkeling #1 would be the better one (Bonaire, Aruba); if you like gorgeous scenery and some historical sites #2 would be the better one.  IMHO.  Plus, an earlier poster wrote on another thread about an unfortunate incident in Antigua.  When we were at the latter 2 years ago, I took a ship's tour in the a.m. and we stayed on the ship the rest of the day.

Thank you to all of you for your input.

I like the first itinerary better ... mainly because of Aruba and Bonaire.  

[Kate P.C]

I would also choose the second one,  because I love Barbados. And I would also choose Antigua over Aruba for the beaches. Have fun!

[JenRonn1104]

We have done both itineraries and enjoyed both of them.  If I had to pick one of them to do again I would probably pick #2 because we love Barbados and Antigua.  But you can't go wrong with either.

Having sailed the Southern Caribbean multiple times on Celebrity Summit from San Juan, I would chose #1. I have also sailed to Bahamas, st.thomas, st.kitts, st.lucia, Barbados, Antigua but enjoyed the other islands more. You will also get to visit 2 of the ABC islands as well.

Love both cruises.  Really enjoy the southern cruise with 2 of the ABC islands.

 

If it were up to me, I's probably try to set up a b2b and do both.

Never been to the ABC Islands, so can't give an opinion on the overall quality of the 2 trips...but I can say that we thoroughly loved Barbados and Antigua.  Antigua is my wife's favorite port we've been to in the Caribbean, with the exception of Grand Turk!!
