Gershep Posted July 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Is there a preference to which side of ship when sailing to Florida and the Bahamas. I know when you are out to sea it really doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when you are out to sea it really doesn't matter. Depends where you mean? Miami is better on starboard going in and Great Stirrup Cay does not really matter as it is a tender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelly11 Posted July 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I've been on both sides for nassau too. You never know if the boat is pulling in or backing in there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suometar Posted July 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If you are sailing out of NYC, the Statue of Liberty is on the starboard side, and returing to NYC Manhattan will be on th starboard side, NJ on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sparks1093 Posted July 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The OP wanted to know about Florida and the Bahamas. ! Yes, and some ships sail that itinerary out of NYC. OP, since the ship can tie up on either side depening on many factors I don't think it matters much one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suometar Posted July 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The OP wanted to know about Florida and the Bahamas. ! Thank you so much for that information. I am well aware that the OP wanted to know about Florida and the Bahamas. But I assumed that s/he was asking about ships sailing to Florida and the Bahamas, not from Florida. And since it so happens that there are year round sailings from NYC to those two ports I assumed that this is what the OP was asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted July 2, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes I am sailing out of NY. I guess not knowing which way the ship will dock it really doesn't matter. I thought they docked the same way in Port Canaveral, GSC and Nassau. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can see it from deck anyway Gsc is a tender Nassau well my feeling is you can look at señor frogs and the British colonial Hilton or some machinery thingy from deck or just keep your eyes closed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valen9 Posted July 3, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If you are on Breakaway, balconies on the Port side will be able to see the fireworks display they have one night. If you're looking for scenery thru NYC, the statue is also something great for the starboard side people. But we had a lot of fun watching the buildings go by on the port side, and both sides get to see the Verrazano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
