which side of ship book on

[WASUP]

We are going from San Francisco to Miami, we would like to have a view of the land as we cruise, has anyone done a cruise of the pacific coast, do you stay close to the shore line to see it? If so, that would be the left side as we cruise south, what is the left side called in sailing terms? Sorry to be so ignornat...

 

Thanks

stlrboo,

 

Thank you for the clue on how to remember which side is port. Finallly, I can stop referring to the drivers side and the passenger side! ;)

My TA was quick to point out that fact to us on our upcomming canal transit from LA to Ft Lauderdale. You will get a chance to see the coast line when the ship is in close. Its a long way to see the 50th state if your on the starboard side of the ship.

Get an aft cabin (as in on the backside of the ship) on the port side. Then you can see to the side and the back. It's wonderful when you're leaving a port!
