needabreakcanada Posted May 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2013 HI there - we will be cruising AOS out of San Juan on the B itinerary. I am wondering which side of ship to book to get the island views as you pull into port? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus Makkem Posted May 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2013 HI there - we will be cruising AOS out of San Juan on the B itinerary. I am wondering which side of ship to book to get the island views as you pull into port? Thanks, most times the ship will do a twirl so do not pull straight in, so they head straight out to sea when departing but sometimes for various reasons they do not so you just take your choice.

mtu_huskies Posted May 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I agree, not sure which is the B route but have done both but it's a mix and sometimes the ship does do a twirl to basically back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus Makkem Posted May 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Also forgot to say that if another cruise ship berths opposite you, which can happen in some ports you will have no view at all, well nothing pretty.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted May 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2013 The ship does not consistently dock the same way each time. It depends on many factors, such as tides, other ships in the port, wind, lifeboat drills, scheduled maintenance, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needabreakcanada Posted May 14, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Guess I will keep current booking and not worry about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 14, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Even if you're not facing the dock, there are "views" on all sides of the ship! You'll be in a harbor...not facing out to sea! Plenty to see, and more privacy on the side away from the dock! No workers staring up at you when you're on your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
