Eastern or Western Cruise?

[Dug720]

We've done two Westerns (both Disney) and two Easterns (one Disney, one Norwegian). We like Eastern better for these reasons:

1. Three sea days
2. St. Thomas (snorkeling at Turtle Cove is amazing)
3. Disney now stops at Tortola (they didn't on our first Disney Eastern, but Norwegian did and we loved it)
4. Beaches are better and water is warmer than on the Western itinerary (although Grand Cayman is beautiful, the water is chilly when we go in the late fall).

It does depend on the itinerary. I know next year's Presidents' Week Wonder is St. Maarten and San Juan and not the more enticing (to me as I haven't been there yet) St. Thomas and Tortola.
