4 nights Allure of the Seas vs 7 nights MSC Seaside

[MrslSuitcase]

Hi! I can’t decide. I have the option of Allure of the seas for 4 nights or MSC Seaside for 7 nights. We already did Allure of the Seas twice and loved it but we always do 7 nights and this time there are no option on the dates we have available (we are gold) and this would be our first time with MSC. The price difference in $500 more in the 7 nights. Any recommendations?

If you have no preference on cruise lines and the price is not an issue I would always choose a 7-night over a 4-night itinerary.

What categories of cabin/experience are you comparing?  On MSC you have fixed seating dining with Bella and Fantastica experience, no My Choice until Aurea.  EM

If you have the $500, take the 7 nights. You get to experience another cruise line AND you get to enjoy a few days without thinking of unpacking and repacking!

Agree with crystalspin. We never cruise for less than 7 nights (and half the time that is not long enough for us!).

I agree as well and although those 2 choices are not what I would take (those BIG vessels are just not for me), I will say this......7 nights beats 4 every day of the week. And 7 is even too short for me these days.

4 nights vs. 7 nights? Seems like a no-brainer to me. 7 nights!
