mavs77 Posted April 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2022 My wife and I are booking a cruise and are choosing between the following 2 itineraries: We have never visited any of these ports FYI and the prices are nearly identical. Option 1: 7 day cruise on Symphony of the Seas Ports: Perfect Day at CocoCay, St Thomas, and St Maarten. Option 2: 8 day cruise of Allure of the Seas Ports: Labadee, Aruba, and Curaçao. Which cruise would you recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which cruise would you recommend 8 day. More days is always better. Plus, Aruba and Caracao are great ports. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted April 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Unless it's a ton more money, Option 2 and never look back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted April 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2022 While we like Labadee, Coco Cay is much better. But the Allure cruise goes to the ABC islands - far and away our favorite place to sail in the Caribbean. Check the port boards here and look at some of the excursion consolidators to see what is available that you might like to do. You can't really go wrong with either itinerary, and we are doing both in the next 3 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremegk Posted April 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Just in my opinion: Option 1 - 2 points Symphony > Allure CocoCay > Labadee Option 2 - 3 points Aruba > St. Maarten Curacao > St. Thomas 8 days > 7 days Option 2 wins for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SummerXU Posted April 21, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Agree with everyone else - option 2. Treat yourself to the ABC islands in the southern Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaRob Posted April 22, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Option 2; as noted above, more days and Aruba/Curaçao. Allue, still an Oasis class ship for the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volk904 Posted April 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I do t think you will go wrong with either. The extra day for the same price might tilt the scale for me plus going to the abc island is not as easy. That said the Symphony is newer and more update than the Allure which has not been upgraded yet plus Coo Coo is nicer than Labadee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco is not a tropical island it’s like a Disney park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
