Aug DVC cruise vs 5 day Wonder Spring break

[ldo]

We are booked on the 4 day DVC Members cruise (on cash) on the Dream in Aug. We also have a 5 Wonder booked for Early April 2015 (Spring break). Cost is about the same. Dream has 2 CC days, W has Cozumel and CC. We have been on Dream and Fantasy. Kids 13 (almost 14 on the spring cruise) and 17 (turning 18 on the spring cruise-the last day, DCL has confirmed that 17 can go into teen club until 18th Bday).
We have been to Cozumel and like it--we would snorkel. We love CC, but Cozumel is fine for us as the 2nd stop.
We are debating cancelling one. So, if you had to canx 1, which would you choose. Is the DVC cruise that more fantastic than a regular cruise? I know there is usually a special show--but we have seen the other Dream shows already, and done the Detective agency. We do like putt-putt, which is not on the W. We also would probably go to other special events.
Thoughts? thanks, Elaine

We are also booked on the August DVC Member Cruise, our first one but will be our 11th DCL cruise. I like the smaller ships better but figure that I am not sure if they will ever do a DVC cruise again that will fit our schedule. Usually it is during school but this one works for all 6 of us, including my DS19 who is in college. From what I have read on Disboards, the member Cruise is great. We are even cutting our time in Aulani beforehand to try this cruise! Good Luck!

That's a tough one..I usually would stay with the cruise that has more days. However, since the DVC MC is sooner, I probably would stay with that one.

Are they THAT much more special, it depends, which is really not an answer is it? I like them.

Have you taken the CC snorkeling excursion? I love to snorkel and thought the area they took us to was very nice. There were many colorful fish and coral formations. I did it on the EBTA last May, and will plan on doing it once on the MC.

Once you decide, don't look back. Do what's best for your family!

PS. I am booked on the August cruise and the 2 others DCL cruises in my signature. I asked a friend who has never cruise to join me on the MC and she said yes! The ones mentioned here are with DH!
