Tatka Posted February 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Identical ships. 6 vs 5 days 3 vs 2 ports No-brainer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I can see where beach lovers would be enticed by a cruise that only hits private islands, but to me that may be the worst itinerary ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puerto Plata is a lovely little town on the Atlantic coast of the Dominican Republic - and if the whales are still in the area it is sight you don't want to miss.

Russ Lomas Posted February 18, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Take the one with six days. 5 days is just too short 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weluv2cruise2gether Posted February 18, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I would do the 6 day also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted February 18, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Random thoughts: - The two ships are equal, so no help. - Obviously 6 days are better than 5 days. Even 6 is kinda short. - Can you get the cabin you find most desirable on each ship? - Is one of the departure ports easier for you to reach? Or better in some way? - What's the price difference? - I love a beach day, but I don't 'specially want two in one cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have Didn’t even leave the port area. There is a beach, a large resort pool with day beds and 2 bars at the pool. Plenty of shops and restaurants There are videos out there of the port area on you tube Search Taino Bay Edited February 18, 2023 by Spurschick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted February 18, 2023 #18 Share Posted February 18, 2023 For several reasons adventure, 6 days , larger ship with great ice show , more entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance Mariner has a Players pub and Adventure does not. There are other differences as well but not major. We've been on both multiple times and love them both. My advice is to go on both itineraries!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other point: The Voyager, Adventure and Explorer are "First Generation" Voyager class ships whereas the Mariner and Navigator are "2nd Generation". One of the major differences is the improvement in design of the balconies. The older ones were inset whereas the 2nd generation were built "external" to the ship's hull giving more space. Look closely at the following picture and you can see the difference: Edited February 18, 2023 by 2chiefs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nimbex1970 Posted February 18, 2023 #22 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I always choose a longer cruise, both ships are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted February 18, 2023 #23 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Adventure 👍🏻 Taino Bay Puerto Plata would be the winner on this all included resort at port with day beds and pool You can eat at a really cool restaurant with excellent local delicacies (Sanmangu) Just a really nice different port from the normal RC stops. We visited whilst on MSC and would go again regardless of Cruise line Happy Days! Edited February 18, 2023 by PompeySailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
