Southern or Eastern on Carnival

[The forever cruiser]

I can't decide on which itinerary to go with, the southern (grand turk, aruba, curacao) or eastern (grand turk, st Thomas, San Juan, St. Marten). We've been to St Thomas (which is always fun) and San Juan (only been there at night) before. Looking for just a fun time touring the islands, beaching it, etc.

Thanks for any feedback.

We've done both of these but with also LaRomana Dominican with the southern route. I want to do them both again! If you haven't done either, I'd do the eastern first but hopefully someday you can do the other too. :D

Since you have already done the St. Thomas and San Juan...I would definitely do the Western. :o

both routes are great - aruba is beautiful - we'll be on that run in feb, but just did the east this feb. either way all islands are beautiful and you'll have a great time

Definitely Southern! Grand Turk is now one of my favorite ports, as well as Aruba..

Do the ships matter to you??

 

We would definitely choose Southern.

If I could do Grand Turk, Dominican Republic, Curacao and Aruba again I would in a heartbeat, no questions asked! 8 day cruise was fantastic, the ports were amazing and I had a blast in each and every one of them! That was probably a once in a lifetime itinerary for me but I loved ever minute of it!

Southern, Southern, Southern. Have done several times and always love it!

Agreed. Great cruise on the Freedom.

[Out to sea!]

As I have never done a Southern and have been on several Eastern cruises, I would pick the Southern.

Done both Southern is the best

I think I'm leaning towards the Southern after all the posts. Thanks so much. It's very helpful.:)
