time2cruise1 Posted June 12, 2013 #7451 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If you look closely ... it's actually port side ;) Your right hard to tell with the thumbnail on the iPad. So first time in 5 weeks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim I believe that he had posted this port-side docking a few weeks back ... when it first occurred. But as far as I know ... Breakaway's been docking starboard-side most of the time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliceOfLife Posted June 12, 2013 #7453 Share Posted June 12, 2013 What pattern ? I think it docked starboard to the pier every week so far Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim It looks like every 4th sailing it flips sides. I could be off by one number. I lost track.

roe2ship Posted June 13, 2013 #7455 Share Posted June 13, 2013 When the Gem was in Bermuda, it docked the complete opposite....most times was port side and only one time a month it docked starboard side. I was using that pattern so I went ahead and booked my balcony on port side and one of the main reasons why I didn't book an aft cabin like we normally do. So far it looks like my chances are very slim now that I would be facing the dock. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aft cabins when docked port side to the Dockyard become easy bake ovens with the afternoon sun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpecorari Posted June 13, 2013 #7457 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I know the SJ balcony is larger by 25 sq. ft. on deck 9 but other than that, what's the difference between an SJ on Deck 9 and an SJ on Deck 12? It looks like there is an overhang on deck 9, would that hinder the aft view making deck 12 better? Any other difference? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely port side on the 6/26 sailing. I was there watching the the peeps coming on and the sailaway from my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highboy90 Posted June 14, 2013 #7464 Share Posted June 14, 2013 A couple folks cutting it close today. Two others came back at 5:05 Bermuda time if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patter44 Posted June 15, 2013 #7465 Share Posted June 15, 2013 A couple folks cutting it close today. Two others came back at 5:05 Bermuda time if I recall correctly. Love the Bermuda webcam. Whoever works the camera does a terrific job! Gave up trying to guess which way the ships dock. Either way has a great balcony view - except if you're aft and it docks port side. Then you might get a great view of another ship's aft balconies :eek:, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try posting the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highboy90 Posted June 15, 2013 #7468 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'd actually like the ship with the AFT facing the main entrance/exit to the dock so I could people watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can roast in the late afternoon summer sun. Last time in Bermuda we started that way and the balconies were almost unusable in the afternoon. Thankfully they turned the Gem around midday the the second day. So much better with nice morning sun and afternoon shade.

Highboy90 Posted June 15, 2013 #7471 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Looks like a great day aboard the Breakaway (I am not on the ship) aside from the fact that you are heading home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbye Posted June 15, 2013 #7472 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'd actually like the ship with the AFT facing the main entrance/exit to the dock so I could people watch. I agree. And it was also nice because I got the $15 internet package available at the dock and was able to sit on the balcony and do some work with a great view!

Gershep Posted June 16, 2013 #7475 Share Posted June 16, 2013 When you are on the ship is there a way to see how many people are on it? I am curious to see what the capacity is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
