Western or Eastern Caribbean?

We've done Eastern twice. Not DCL. But next cruise might be.

Thinking Western should be next, but is there any reason to stick with Eastern? We like at least 7 night cruises.

I personally don’t find the western ports very exciting but to each their own. With the Eastern are you thinking the Tortola/St Thomas itinerary or the San Juan/ St Maarten route?

Well we're waiting for April 2024 to be released.

Been to St. Thomas and St. Martin twice, but not to others you mentioned. I will say beaches aren't as important this time around.

We really enjoyed going to San Juan and just walking around the old part of town, it was beautiful! We had plans to visit the baths in Tortola but unfortunately weather kept us from being able to do it. We hope to return sometime soon…

I have to agree that we much prefer the eastern routes to the western, but it is nice to sometimes have some variety.

My wife likes Grand Cayman on the Western loop. But I'm not a huge fan of Cozumel or Costa Maya. I'll agree with @Maelstrom Troll and say that I really liked San Juan. And the Baths on Virgin Gorda (ferry from Tortola) are so cool. I think it's fair to say that I like the Eastern ports better than Western.
