Dawn Bermuda.. which side to choose a cabin

[elainemasey61]

Hi, thinking about Boston to Bermuda in June. I know this can change, but in your experience which side of the boat is dockside? Is it better to be dockside view or not? Will have a balcony room. Thank you for any advise on this cruise.

As you said, it changes.

 

It's not predictable.

There is no bad view when docking at the Dockyard. The Dockyard is non-industrial and the water side is the Great Sound with the north shore of Bermuda in the distance.

 

If you want a good waterside view, check out the Bermuda cam. It is best when it is scanning, and not fixed.

 

You may not be aware, but the America's Cup finals are being held in June with the Dockyard being the center of activity.

The ship alternates sides based on maintenace and safety drill requirements. Therefore a SE forward facing or SF aft facing suite is the best bet.

Thank you. Would you not go then with America's Cup going on or do you think it would make it more fun?

Wondering the same thing! I had no idea!

Between AC and whatever ship is docked with you the only issue I see is port transportation. We're going in May. Anthem of the Seas will be arriving Monday morning so it will be interesting. ⚓️ Wow that's a big ship!

We had this same scenario when we were there in October and it caused no issues at all. Transportation was still super easy.

The majority of the time the dawn docks port side but you never know. One thing to know is that the sun sets on port side so if your balcony is facing the port it will be almost unusable noon to dark due to the sun and heat.it gets really hot out there in the afternoon and you will have no sun barrier.
