Starboard. Facing the bow, the right side.

Actually, the smoking side does differ from ship to ship. Some it's starboard (right) and others port (left). The ship's Compass will tell you.

An easy wasy to remember Port from Starboard.....Port has 4 letters and so does left.....and it's from facing the bow (front) of the ship. And I'll be either port or starboard tonite sipping my pina colada from the Millenium!!

Wow, thanks for correcting me. Both of the RCI ships I have been on were on the starboard side, so I just thought it was company wide....do you know which ones it's diffrerent on?

When we get on board tomorrow, I will review the Compass, and report back (regarding) VOS when we return.

 

Enjoy your Holidays

I believe all of mine have been the starboard side.

[FJTinSC]

It's been starboard on every ship I've been on!

 

The easy way to tell is the side with the ashtrays, is the smoking side, plus there are usually signs on the non-smoking side!

[cmason]

just look for the non-smoking symbols. On Jewel the top deck was starboard side, but on deck 5, it was port side.

I look for the ashtrays. If there is an ashtray around you.. your on the smoking side.

It's entirely possible that RCI has standardized which side is for smoking, as on our last 2 it was starboard. But on Radiance a few years ago it was port, and one other was port, but again that was some time back. I remember though that someone more recently reported that port was the smoking side on at least one of the ships.

Which side is smoking? Why, the one that's on fire, of course.

I have been on 2 cruises where the smoking side was the port side. But that didn't stop people from smoking on the starboard side too.

Yes make sure you check.I stepped outside deck 3 on voyager and took my lighter out and had some fat cow playing shuffle board screaming at me that i was on the wrong side of the ship.Had we been on land the outcome would have been a lot different and not in her favor.:mad:
