Carnival ship orientation in Cabo

[jfaaborg]

does anyone know if the Carnival ships stop in the same orientation when in Cabo? Reason I am asking it we have a two day stop in Cabo, and I would like to choose a cabin on the side where we can best see the sunset from our balcony

 

Thankx

Cabo is a tender port....  The boat will be anchored offshore, and you ride in a "water shuttle" or "tender" from the ship to the shore.  The direction the ship will point to will be dictated by which direction the wind is coming from.

Even at a dock, any dock, any port...

this is very hard to predict, if not impossible.

 

So many variables involved in the Captain's and the ports' decision.

I been in Cabo San Lucas a bunch of times and seen cruise ship sail in into. It's kind of cool to see. They don't dock, it's a tender port. The ship just anchors and depending on the tide just drifts around where it's anchored. What I've noticed with two days in Cabo it's not an overnight stay. The ship sails at 6:00 pm and returns at 7:00 am. The ships casino can't open while. That may have changed, but I doubt it.

Orientation ? Drop the anchor, bow into the wind, tenders (now called shuttles) take passengers ashore.

I have been sailing my entire life and never heard orientation used. Want a great sunset, go up on the deck.

OK, Thankx

I've been on the ships a cpl times to Cabo, once it was starboard towards the sunset and the other it was port side.  Most pics I see though, tend to have port side facing the sunset.

Yes the ship docks off shore in the same location with the bow facing cabo
