I agree that PC would be more convenient, but Miami is not a bad drive, just fairly boring!

My sister has just sailed with Celebrity and was very pleased with most things. Didn't like the upcharges for the restaurants and the choice wasn't as wide as DCL (for veggies), wasn't keen on the shows but all in all, she had a lovely time.
Our TA recommends Princess for having the same customer service as DCL, so maybe they're worth a shot?

Joa. We are still in 'clearing up' mode. Plus my Wife has been to Spire for an MRI and me to the dentist for a repair and the Chiro to sort my back, thus still crazy here.

But, I have had a little look at the 7 night DCL cruises and I feel that they will be a better fit for us. Am I heading in the right direction do you think?

Decision will be made by the weekend.

Hope you are both on the mend soon, you're keeping private medical companies in business at least!

7 nights is always better than 5 nights and the Fantasy is a beautiful ship. As to western or eastern Caribbean, one has an extra day at sea but as to what's best, only you can choose.
Eastern is probably 'prettier' but there's a little more to see and do on a western other than the beaches you get on an eastern.

And we second the Eastern but I think Mrs Morrow would love the extended verandah and her own lounger for breakfast delivered to the room in the morning!

Loads of Brownie points for me!
Booked the 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise an hour ago.

Many thanks for all the advice and information. A particular thanks to Bats who has endured my PMs and E Mails and gave so much of her time and advice.

I'm sure my Wife will do her best!
Actually although we are doing 4 Orlando trips in 2018 I cant see us doing that again.
2019 will be 3 Orlando trips with the cruise bolted on to the 1st one.

Have to work hard now to get a Boston trip sold to her.

It's easy, you cruise each time you go to Florida .. you just fit it in with your land holiday!
This year has been overly excessive for us ... 4 cruises, a Florida trip and a Disney Paris trip. First world problems!
Need to win the lottery then I could do that every year!
