And the numbers increase as you move from bow to stern. Makes it easy to tell at a glance on the cabin decks if you are in the right hallway and headed in the right direction.

Going along with what you posted. A few years ago as the ship was leaving harbor the Captain announced that there was a pod of whales off the Starboard side. I watched several people milling around yelling at each other, what side is Starboard. So, being the helpful person that I am I told them......Its the side that the whales on are on. 😆 Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of responses to the title of your post. Here is the answer to the question in your post: ODD numbered cabins are on the starboard (right) side and EVEN numbered cabins are on the port (left) side. For any cabins not on the port or starboard side (i.e. forward and aft facing and some insides), the numbers follow the same rules based on location relative to the ship center line. If the cabin splits the center line, all the ones I have seen are ODD, but there may be exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually you don't answer the question, either. Because they are asking whether the the port side is the even cabins, not whether the even cabins are on the port side. And, that makes a difference, as many cruise ships do not have evens on port and odds on starboard. Carnival Corp's brands tend to follow this convention, but NCL and RCI don't. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe my answer #31 is accurate for all of the current Princess ships. Given this was asked in the Princess forum, I did not qualify my answer for other lines. So if the OP was looking for other ships, then the suggestion to look at the deck plans should work across all lines. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port wine is red. As with your vehicle sitting in the drivers seat.. It is when facing the bow (front) of the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could agree. Not all cruise lines are the same. Some are odd for port and some are even. Carnival is even Princess is also Celebrity is odd for Port. Royal ships are mixed. Odds and evens on both sides. I would have to look at the others to know. These we cruise on the most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantaFeFan Posted August 4, 2022 #43 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) On 7/28/2022 at 7:17 PM, 4x4bob said: This reminds of an old joke. A crew man while walking past the Capt's cabin look in the port hole into the cabin. He saw the Capt kneeling down in front of his safe. He was reading a piece of paper. Port is Left. Starboard is Right. Well it is a slow day. Bob I was watching a show on cruise ships and the captain showed his socks to the camera - red on his left foot, green on his right. He started wearing them as a joke, but over time it became his trademark and now he always wears them. The captain had a good sense of humor and seemed like a great boss to have. From www.boat-ed.com: "Sidelights: These red and green lights are called sidelights (also called combination lights) because they are visible to another vessel approaching from the side or head-on. The red light indicates a vessel's port (left) side; the green light indicates the vessel's starboard (right) side."
