12 day Hawaii-Port or Starboard?

[gargoyle999]

For those who have been on the 12 day Hawaii cruise Carnival offers would you suggest booking on the port or aft side. Or does it not really matter?

 

Thanks! :)

Certainly doesn't matter if you are in an inside. ;)

 

In order to view the volcano from your balcony as you pass, if you are going from Hilo to Kona you want starboard side, if Kona to Hilo you want port side.

Oh...I'm a balcony snob! :) Looks like it goes from Hilo to Kona so I'll pick starboard. Thanks for the advice!

We haven't actually sailed CCL to Hawaii, but we have sailed HAL.

 

Both times we chose port, because we sail from Kona, past Kilauea, at night. Our balcony is a great place to watch the lava.
