I would pick starboard do I have sun on the balcony during the sea days out from Miami.

I have a similar itinerary upcoming on this ship and the same question.

 

Any port/starboard recommendations for Getaway's "7-Day Eastern Caribbean, Round-trip Miami - Inaugural Season" trip?

 

This goes Miami -> Philipsburg, St. Maarten -> St. Thomas-> Nassau -> Miami.

 

Thank you.

Not taking legs to/from Miami or fireworks into account, there is no right or wrong. On the ships that have fireworks, they are shot from port side of the ship so you can watch those directly from your own port side balcony.

 

Many here ask about which side is better for sceneries in ports but there is no guaranteed direction in which the ship docks in each port. While there can be a position in which the ship docks more often, direction still varies from cruise to cruise because of technical issues, lifeboat testing schedules, maintenance needs, etc.

Thanks for the tips!

 

I'm looking at staterooms on the fourteenth deck, and my understanding from reading reviews here is that an overhang there will obscure my view of fireworks. So, I'd probably have to venture out for those anyway.

Yep, forgot about the overhangs in some parts of the ship. We had a spa suite on deck 14 fwd and it worked perfectly.

I'd pick Port as you can smoke on the Waterfront on the Starboard side.

Thanks again for the advice everyone! I booked a port cabin.

How can I tell if I am port or not? I am sorry if this is an obvious answer..... I am room 10898 on the Getaway.

You are on the starboard side.
