Port or Starboard on a Glacier Bay Cruise

[leongcpa]

Hi,

 

Which side is better, port or starboard, with a balcony cabin for a Glacier Bay cruise?

 

Thanks!

The ship goes in, turns around and comes back out. So you will see both sides of the Bay.

 

 

Some will say the narration is keyed to the Port side, but that has not been my experience.

 

 

Discussed here frequently.

I have always found the commentary to match up with the port side. They'll mention information about the glaciers when passing- all are first viewed on the port side.

 

So if you ONLY are going to stay in your balcony, the commentary is a lot less, leaving.

 

However- the ship "turn" business with the "everybody gets a view", in my opinion could be lacking for someone like me, as I won't settle for 50% of the views. :) I move side to side, taking full advantage of something that is completely unpredictable in terms of calving and wildlife.

 

There are all kinds of choices, and something for everyone.

Neither side is better.

 

Best views are from the outside decks where you can easily move from side to side.
