Western B vs. Eastern A

Howdy all - We just got off our first cruise on Monday and went ahead and signed up for another one for next year!

Any thoughts on the 7 Day Fantasy Western B itinerary vs. the 7 Day Eastern A itinerary? Port stops are below. Does anyone have a favorite or think one is better than the other? We are a family of 4 kids ages 6 and 4. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Eastern A for sure. Not a fan of Mexico and you get another sea day! No brainer for me. Leave on an Eastern in 29 days!!!!!

I switched to the Eastern itinerary with stops in St. Maarten and St. Thomas

Not a Western fan. I have cruised it lately and didn't get off the ship the whole time.

I just got off the Eastern but with a stop in San Juan instead of St Maarten and loved it! San Juan was our favorite stop. I have also done the Western and thought Costa Maya was a fabulous little place. I prefer more port days then sea days though so it really is a personal preference. I don't think you could go wring with either.
