7 Night Western or Back 2 Back Bahama? - The DIS Discussion Forums

HotMama · 11-16-2009, 02:59 PM

I'm don't know what to do? A 7 night western carribean or Back 2 Back 4 & 3 night Bahamas....

Pro and Cons anyone?

I know my kids will miss the character slumber party if we do 4 & 3 night cruise.

It will be our first Disney cruise. Help.

Depending on when you are going, you may have no choice. There are practically no 7 night carribean cruises during the late spring and summer season over the next two years.

My preference is the 7 night Western. We have done back-to-back and I have absolutely no issue with the process. It was actually quite seemless. I just like having the different ports of call offered on a 7 night western. Two stops at Nassau and two stops at Castaway Cay are fine, but I want more variety.

Just my humble opinion.

7 night, definitely.
Pro to 3/4 2 stops at Castaway
Possibly Christiaan as CD
Very well treated by crew
2 sailings toward your CC status
COns: 2 safety drills, transition day is kind of a waste
2 stops at Nassau
duplication of all menus/activities, etc
the "we're just trying out cruising and we want to pack everything into 3 days" crowd

Pro to 7 day: more entertainment
lack of duplication
7 different menus
more time to relax and enjoy without the rush of the 3/4
better ports
this list just goes on and on!
