Savoyard Posted March 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm considering the Southern Caribbean itinerary on the Adventure out of San Juan: St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia, and Barbados. Does anyone have a preference for a port or starboard cabin, based on views in port (town vs. open sea), views along the way if any, prevailing sun and wind, noise and/or smoke from other parts of the ship, or any other factor? (Does the ship usually face the same way in each port, or does it vary?) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Starboard if you want the best view leaving San Juan. Other ports are unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted March 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I Barbados the island view is a container port. It can be interesting watch them shuttle containers around, but not very scenic:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It won't matter. Both sides will have views when docked....you'll be in a harbor! You won't be facing "open sea"! You can never tell which side will be facing the dock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted March 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2017 While the port views didn't effect our cruise, if I did that itinerary again it would be starboard side. There wasn't much scenery in most ports. Like bouhunter, in St. Martin and Barbados we had a great view of container operations. Keep in mind there's no guarantee you'll dock in the same direction as we did. Although this was pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worn out mailman Posted March 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If you book a starboard stateroom, and you wake up early enough, the approach to port in Antigua is quite nice. Sent from my LG-H631 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savoyard Posted March 29, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I count three votes for starboard, for various reasons. Thanks! This is just the sort of information I was seeking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
