KP&BP Posted March 19, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have been on many cruises, and it seems that each time the bed is on the aft side (balcony stateroom) facing forward. Is this standard or do some beds face the opposite direction? I seem to be wanting it to be the other way for a change and wondered if there was any plan to it all? We have always had a port side room - would starboard be the same configuration? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted March 19, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I believe they just alternate going down the hall. We've had more verandahs with the headboard on the forward side, on both port and starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRL_Joanie Posted March 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2010 In the last 3 years we have taken 3 cruises, all verandah staterooms. 1st on the Oosterdam (VF Handicapped Suite Stateroom) the head of the bed faced forward, we were midship hump, deck 5. 2nd on Westerdam, midship (SA category) verandah suite stateroom headboard faced aft. Last was also Westerdam a (VA category) verandah stateroom nearly aft headboard faced forward. The stateroom just aft of us also had theirs facing aft, but the stateroom just forward of ors had theirs facing forward. I think as JTL says, they alternate. By the way all 3 of our cruises we were on the Port side of the ships. Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2010 They alternate them, just like in apartment buikdings, so that the plumbing is back to back. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdchiefthom Posted March 19, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Not totally true, the aft corner suites on the Vista class ships face directly port or starboard depending on which corner of the ship you're on.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
