Ok, so I know there is really no wrong answer here, but this is why I can't make up my mind! So I'd love to know what you would do and why.
Background: I have cruised once with my sister, her family and my Dad with
DCL on the Magic 12 years ago. My husband cruised once when he was a kid, and he did love it then, but now kind of hates the idea of cruising. My kids (9 and 12 by cruise time) really want to go on one, so we are working on convincing him to go next year for spring break. He has begrudgingly agreed, if we do concierge (yeah, tough break for me
)
Based on our dates, I am looking at the 5 night Marvel at Sea on the Dream from Miami, or the 4 night bahamian cruise on the Wish. The ports don't actually matter that much to me, in fact I think if we do the Wish, we will not got off at Nassau. Price is similar between the 2, so we can get an extra night on the Dream for nothing. But I was wondering if you thought some of the perks of concierge would be worth it on the Wish, like the private pool and the lounge being bigger with a view? Or just being on a newer ship in general? The other thing I am thinking about is if we go on the Wish I could squeeze in a day or 2 at WDW, but we are doing a 10 day trip in August so I'm not sure if it matters that much or not. But really my main concern is which do you think is a better option for a cruise-weary person?
Which one would you choose? An extra day or a newer ship? Beach time before/after the cruise or WDW? Thanks!
