Navigator 9N Southern Caribbean - Port or Starboard

[Herby]

Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for Port or Starboard balcony for the 9N Southern Caribbean route? TIA

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. We were on the starboard side in January and if I remember correctly we were looking out towards the ocean (not at the city where docked) at each port aside from Ladabee.

I don't think it makes much of a difference, the side the ship will dock on is unpredictable.

On our trip ABC islands were all on the port side of the ship. Labadee we docked on the starboard side, nose in.

In port, they do lifeboat drills for the crew...so it will depend on which lifeboats are due to be tested at any given port. Also, where the captain is told to dock, and other factors as well. There are views everywhere in harbor....you won't be facing "out to sea"!

Not true on this itinerary

Aruba and Bonaire ports are not in harbors. Curacao has one docking facility facing out to sea and one just past the bridge.
