elfinmagic Posted September 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2017 NO - you will be out of sight of any land for most of the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted September 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Use to be port. Now ships docked different ways, front first, back in sometimes so you could see the sea or view a nice port or a port building. Then you tender in some ports and the ships moves a lot when sitting at sea. So will see land and sea at different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted September 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2017 We are on our third time thru this cruise starting in 34 days and have not seen any reason to prefer side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted September 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 5, 2017 You'll have to decide for yourself as it really depends on personal preferences. Assuming you have a balcony, an ocean view or a suite, when do you want sun? Look at the itinerary map and decide. Morning or afternoon (northerly or southerly transit) or outbound or return legs. It's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted September 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Really depends on which side of the ocean you prefer viewing.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryL Posted September 5, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I think it only matters how you want your sunrise and sunset to occur during your cruise. Your exposure to the sun should be pretty equal coming and going. If you want sunsets going pick starboard. Returning, pick port side.

Cruise2End Posted September 5, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks for all the input. Just wanting to ensure there shouldn't be a preference to starboard or port side when booking.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 5, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Since the cruise goes all the way South down South America then around the Horn and back all the way North the sun will be rising and setting on different sides of the ship depending on what part of the cruise you are on. During the course of the 49 days there will be quite a bit of change in the daylight and the weather. It should be an interesting cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather on the OP's cruise will be hot & tropical, almost all the time. Port or Starboard will not matter for the OP's cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
