aururab Posted May 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I cannot decide between RCL - Voyage of the Seas or Celebrity - Millennium out of San Juan for Southern Caribbean Cruise of of San Juan for a Feb 2023 cruise. Help! About us, Active 60 something grandparents, parents, kids (6 and 10). The RCL cruise has no at sea days, the Celebrity cruise has one. Rates are similar (factoring in gratuities and drinks) and Millennium has cabins with upper births, which will make the kids happy.... What would you pick?

Rare mom says Posted May 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Difficult choice. Without the kids I'd definitely opt for Celebrity. The kids are an added twist - RCCL would offer more kid friendly bells and whistles, and probably have more other kids for them to play with. All else being equal I'd look more closely at the itinerary and see if one offers longer time in port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsn55 Posted May 24, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I think an hour spent with the CC reviews would be quite helpful. And if you're still undecided after absorbing them, just toss a coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 24, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2022 With kids .... RCI Voyager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted May 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Keep in mind that there are no sea days on Voyager, and only one on Millie. So those kids attractions may or be as important. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aururab Posted May 24, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Essiesmom - those are my thoughts as well. The kids will likely have minimal time to for the more kids friendly activities. RCCL - Pros, waterslides and more activities for the kids, no at sea days Celebrity - Service, food, ambiance in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseaholic777 Posted May 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2022 With the kids I would do Royal. Adults only I would do Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted June 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Are they both out of San Juan? I was going to book the Southern Carib out of SJ on Millie for Oct but the flights were ridiculous and the layovers were either 40 mins or 4+ hours. We decided to choose one that we could drive to the port. Didn't want to pay another $600-700pp for flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Yes, I am coming from California, so the only way to get to any cruise is to fly. While the flights were more cumbersome to SJU, I'm excited about getting to visit for a few days in advance! 🙂 Oh, and we did go ahead and book it on Royal Caribbean! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
