I'd imagine the best view may be right behind them on the pier....JK

up on lido

We like lido balcony cabins, so we cheer from there. The best place other than that is on the deck where Guest Services and Shore Excursions are located. That open deck outside allows your "Run Forrest" efforts to reach your audience.

We usually get a balcony on the port side, but none were available on deck 12 when we booked the Breeze, so we took a starboard side balcony.

 

We were disappointed that we would not be able to see our ship's runners from our balcony. However, in Cozumel we had a great view of the runners headed to the Dream. There were several people who were 30 minutes late. 2 gangways had been pulled and ropes were slack when they finally showed up to the cheers and jeer of those on both the Breeze and the Dream.

Funny how some people really move and others just casually stroll down the pier.

I love people watching. One of my favorite pass times!

My balcony! :) While praying that unforeseen circumstances never, ever place me in that position! I really feel for those people because you don't know what caused their delay. If it is too much alcohol and passing out in the sun, I have zero sympathy. If it is because your shore excursion transportation broke down, then yikes!:eek:

Very true but think that most runners would not pass a police sobriety test:eek:

We prefer port side balcony upper decks 6+. Got a new pair of binoculars and that makes it even more enjoyable.

 

Cheers and happy cruising!

For me the "lido" is a poor location. My preference is the lower open deck- was deck 3 on my recent Glory and Splendor cruises.

Agree, much closer to the action.

They're already out of breath and exhausted from the pre-pier running [emoji125][emoji125][emoji125]

Same here, We have watched but never seen any... I guess thats a good thing though!:rolleyes:

[Purvis1231]

I too have never seen a pier run. Thank goodness the cruise lines make every effort not to leave anyone.

Lots of pier runner watching going on from Lido. Pay close attention in Cozumel, which seems to be pier runner's favorite.

My favorite port to watch. Senor Frogs, Hooter's and Fat Tuesday's all being right there all play a big role I'm sure! :D

[tonit964]

Funny, our first and only pier runners was in Ketchikan Alaska of all places and it was men shopping with their bags in hand that came running!!

We were on deck 11, starboard side in Jamaica and saw quite a few. One poor old lady stumbled and fell in slow motion and laid there for quite awhile before she finally got up. We felt so badly for her, tons of crew had run out to help her.

Just find the lowest outside public area on that side and enjoy. Our last time in Cozumel we had several super-drunk folks that were way late. It was...entertaining haha.

My wife and I were pier walkers one time in Jamaica. Our very first cruise, first port, she dislocated her shoulder at Dunns River Falls. Luckily we had purchased insurance and it was a Carnival excursion as she was taken to a doctor's office where they popped it back in. Carnival had a taxi waiting for us and we raced back to the ship. We were an hour late getting back. We were cheered as we walked up to the ship.

One of my favorites! Don't be late!!!
