cme4ltc Posted September 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi all! Need help fast. Currently we are booked on the Port side for our Grand Suite. I was thinking that perhaps we should switch to starboard side for people watching. I love to sit on my balcony while coming and leaving from port. Does this ship usually pull straight in to the ports? If so, I need to switch my suite to the right side. Thanks for the quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedinflorida Posted September 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We were on the opposite itinerary as you, but the starboard side was best. The gangplanks were always on the starboard side as well, so I enjoyed sitting on our balcony and watching people in the morning and in the evening. We also has the best view of the islands from the starboard side except for in Antigua. Again, Im not sure about Aruba and Curacao, but for St. Maarten and St. Thomas, starboard is better, and of course people watching :) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Mountain Tim Posted September 22, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Aruba- port faces town and pier Curacao - port faces town, don't know about pier St Thomas - port faces bay and town, starborad pier and Havensite Mall St Maarten - usually port faces mountain side and loading docks and starboard bay There is no set way that they dock. It depends on winds and tide, but above is usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren0309 Posted September 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Which side is starboard and which is port? For my upcoming cruise I am on the right side of the ship facing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Posted September 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Starboard side is Right, Port side is Left, facing the front of the ship. Easy way to remember Left is 4 letters, Port is 4 letters. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
