Robbie22 Posted September 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2015 After 4 cruises all on the smaller ships, I guess I'm a slow learner, I've figured out a couple of things. The ships can only refuel (bunker) on the starboard side so the veranda can't be used while this is going on, it stinks. The fan from the smoking area blows out that same side and you can smell the smoke. Go Port side if you can. Good luck Robbie22.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regatta bunkered from the port side in San Francisco on Wednesday, September 2, 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted September 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2015 +1 It depends on the Port where the ship is refueling. This is a photograph of the Nautica bunkering on the Port side in Shanghai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted September 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Does it really matter, it's only for a short time. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted September 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2015 +2 we are always on the port side (aft) and have had bunkering on port side at least half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunding Posted September 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Does it really matter, it's only for a short time.Rick Well, I know, we're talking, what, 6-8 hours for an "R" ship? But the OP does have a point, don't you think? I mean, the stench is fairly overpowering, and if you've a mind to use your balcony/deck during the process, well…you'll probably change your mind. But, c'mon, let's face it, there is no avoiding bunkering…unless you want to fly home early! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
