Mare10 Posted April 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2015 We're looking at a 7 day cruise on the Carribean Princess out of Houston. Wondering what side of the ship is recommended. We will have a balcony cabin. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It doesn't make any difference. The sun rises on one side and sets on the other, and it will be reversed on the way back. You are not insight of land until you arrive at port. You can't predict which side the ship will dock on, as it varies. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted April 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The ship will pull in at one port and back in at the other side does not matter. make sure you have cabins above you and below you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted April 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2015 On our last cruise we were on the starboard side and on 2 of the 3 stops we were on the side facing the port. So port side is really just a reference to keep direction on the ship and not really to let you know whether you will be facing land or water once docked.
