Port or Starboard on AOS?

[emdia43]

Just looking at some real bargains on AOS- balcony rooms available on the sailing I'm interested in- Southern Caribbean- can someone who has sailed recently in a balcony tell me if Port or Starboard is best for views when coming into harbors?- On this itinerary- leaving from San Juan- St Thomas- St Maarten- Aruba- Curacao. Thanks:confused:

We always book our cabin on the starboard side. For this itinerary, the starboard affords great views of the majority of the islands, with the exception only of Aruba (the view is of the sea).

Thanks for speedy reply!! Just what I needed- I would like to be able to sit and look at the ports we are visiting if I go for a balcony.:)

We were on the port side in March, we saw Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten. I think it depends on if the Captain pulls in or backs in. In St. Thomas he backed in. Have a great cruise on the AOS, we loved it:o

Oh- OK- all the available cabins are on the port side- so I was thinking if they hadn't sold it was because they were on the side that was always looking out at sea....? Thanks

We were on the port side and had a great view in every port (in Aruba and Curacao we faced the city, and in St. Thomas and St. Martin we faced the coast of the islands)

We try to always book the port side. It depends entirely on how the captain docks but we have found on many, many ports the port side is the most interesting. However neither view will be unpleasant.
