Tortola, British Virgin Islands OR Both Basseterre, St. Kitts and St. John’s, Antigua

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

We were planning on booking a late June or early to mid July 7 night Eastern itinerary on the Fantasy, but now I see the 8 day in June I was not expecting to see.

First DCL cruise, so I only have a few days to decide before opening day!

We are a family of 5, kids are 17, 9, and 6. Are these two ports worth skipping Tortola?

I'd choose the latter just because they're less common than Tortola (which is *wrecked* right now because of the storms). You can take a Tortola cruise on many different lines once they're back up to speed (And Disney will be back to going there every other week once things are better), but Disney to Antigua and St. Kitts would be a no-brainer for me.

We loved Antigua and St. Kitt’s... they are our fave Caribbean islands so far!! I have not been to Tortola yet.

I have no advice to offer, but I'm so glad you started this thread! I'm thinking of booking the same cruise and my kids will be 17, 14, and 11.

Yeah, I was all set to pick a date for the 7 day eastern, and now I have to figure out if it's worth the extra cost, and if the port trade is a good one!
