Whats with odd numbers balconies?

[Natburns]

Trying to understand what is the diff between odd numbers balconies and even, and which one is better?

[shof515]

even - port side (left)

odd - starboard side (right)

 

overall, its just a personal preference on which side of the ship you like.

Murphy's Law dictates that whichever side you are on will be the "wrong side" for your particular cruise. That's why we head to the aft cabins, you see both sides and you are never on the "wrong side"

[CapeCodCruiser]

Well - even numbered balconies can be evenly divided by 2, but odd numbered balconies - well they're just odd!:D

[Natburns]

and I don't understand why..

Murphy's Law dictated why my sister and niece have a port side balcony cabin and my son and I have a starboard balcony cabin! Dawn with coffee, sunset with wine, whichever port we are in, we can be on the GOOD side!

 

(Honestly, maybe I ought to rephrase. It goes without saying that any side is the good side on a cruise!)

port side, even numbers, used to be favored when ships always had this side facing ports when docked.

 

Now the ship may back in and you are facing away, you never know.

even-numbered balconies

odd-numbered balconies

even-numbered balconies

- can smuggle booze

 

odd-number balconies

- must order from BV

[blindrid]

and I don't understand why..

 

Just because you keep reading, doesn't make it correct. A lot of people still think that port side means facing the port as it was many moons ago.

 

As others have mentioned, you never know. So remember, don't always believe what you read (including some in here) on the net.

Crap ! I knew I should have gone with even numbers ! Even though they are below the waterline... :D

ODD - Port Side

Even - Water Side

 

It has nothing to do with the balcoines all odd rooms are the the port side and all even on the water side. Carnival says the even sides are more popular but I love the odd side much better. Would rather see the other ships and whats at the port then water that you see the bulk of the cruise. Of course we all like different things so to each his or her own.

 

I hope you have a nice cruise, good luck!!

I placed my vodka order from BV this morning, even though I didn't know it was required since I do have an odd number balcony! :)

 

Surely, everything read here is accurate, no?

[cruisebabe63]

This isn't true for all ships or decks but our PVP pointed out that on the Legend, mid-ship the inside cabins doors are towards the Odd side of the ship. Meaning if you're in a balcony on the even side when you exit or enter your cabin you will not see any inside cabin doors across the hall. In theory it's quieter due to the fact that you won't have as many doors opening/closing, slamming shut, less voices in hall way, etc.

I think they were being funny. Im hoping for water on both sides of the ship next cruise for sure.

Agree, it would suck being on the "dry" side.....

I always get a chin on the larboard side. Nothing like sitting on th balcony watching the lar go by.
