time2cruise1 Posted October 9, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It does vary. In August Dawn port side was to Heritage for the first 1 1/2 days and starboard to Kings Wharf pier for the second half of the stay. One reason it changes is so they can do life boat drills for the crew and test all the boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinchem Posted October 9, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2009 We were there 3 weeks ago our RCL Grandeur and NCL both were port to the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAFTCRUISER Posted October 9, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2009 How does the ship Dock, facing which way? in Bermuda? or does it vary? In May we were on the Spirit and it was port side...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwenmark Posted October 9, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Okay luck of the draw I guess. it is the Spirit by the way and right now I am in an aft suite so I guess it doesn't matter much. but thinking of changing to one of the AC's on the sides.

Don Haynes Posted October 9, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Since the ship will dock only in Bermuda for a few days, the ships have been known to turn around during their stay to do their lifeboat drills. With other ships and ports, they switch lifeboat sides if necessary at another port. Therefore one never knows with Bermuda.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In June we were portside to the dock. I followed lots of threads throughout the Bermuda season this year and don't recall anyone saying they docked starboard.

jimswims Posted October 10, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I actually tracked which side the Spirit would dock at Heritage Wharf this summer. In the past it would vary at King's Wharf for both the Dawn and the Spirit. I did not get every week but up until and including our August 7th sailing the Spirit was docking port side to the pier. I could have missed a few however. Someone in Bermuda told me that since the Heritage Wharf pier is really close to where the Dolphin Discovery area is (it is in the Fort seen from the ship), they did not want the engines going in that direction. You can see where the water goes in to that area from the ship. I do not know how they knew this or if it is fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njhorseman Posted October 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2009 When I saw the Dawn this past Wednesday (10/7), it was docked with the starboard side to the pier, and was at Kings Wharf rather than Heritage Wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorklinbarb Posted October 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2009 When I saw the Dawn this past Wednesday (10/7), it was docked with the starboard side to the pier, and was at Kings Wharf rather than Heritage Wharf. You are exactly right. We were port and had an "ocean" view! Yes, we were at Kings Wharf.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
