Port or Starboard Balcony Cabin?

[DGA]

Has any one sailed back from Caribbean to England? We are thinking of booking a balcony cabin on P&O Ventura and would like to take advantage of any afternoon sun during the many days at sea. Having worked out which balconies have obstructed views or are in partial shade I am unsure whether to go for a port or starboard cabin.

 

Can anyone help?

Hi DGA

 

You might get more information on the P & O forum.

The sun rises in the east, goes through south (in the northern hemispere), and sets in the west.

 

If sailing from Caribbean to UK, the boat will be sailing west to east, so in theory, the sun will rise in the front, travel round the right hand side of the ship, and set behind it.

Yes, you need starboard, and I would go for C-Deck as these balconies are twice the size of the others.

Yes I agree with Carol....Port out Starboard Home POSH is the way to remember....we did it the other way round in a C deck Balcony cabin ...the best!!!
