Heres an idea do back to back, one week eastern one week western.  You will love it!

 

This! So nice to stay onboard for the second week. If you can’t then western for more ports

The answer’s obvious: Southern

 

In all seriousness, it doesn’t matter. For first time cruisers there is only one rule: Do what it takes to get your butt on the boat. Experienced cruisers - especially the type who hang out on CruiseCritic - love to debate everything about cruising: which cabin, which port, where to eat, etc. If you’ve been on a few cruises and know for certain you are going on more, that stuff matters. But for your first cruise? Just go. You are going to have a great time no matter what choices you make.

I would pick the eastern for first time cruisers, however, both are great!  You cannot go wrong with either.
