beerman2 Posted June 26, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Close to booking the Southern Rt. out of San Juan for DW's 60th b-day. Are the ports Tender or Docks? ( Barbados/And the Sts. Kitts/John/Lucia/Martain) Balcony as we enjoy sitting there coming and going into ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_cruisin Posted June 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2011 All the ports are docked. If you can swing it - spend the money for an aft-view. Had one and we had a great view in every port (except Barbados). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_cruisin Posted June 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If you can't do the aft-view, then here is what each port offered for views: St. Thomas - Starboard was the pier, port was the bay - the ship was docked straight in St. Lucia - Port side was the island, Starboard was ocean and island (and airport) - *the ship was backed in St. Kitts - Starboard was the pier and another ship, port was ocean and island - * the ship was backed in St. Maarten - Starboard pier and a view of the bay/island, port was the ocean and some of the island - the ship was backed in Barbados - Starboard the pier and island, port straight out to the ocean.

beerman2 Posted June 27, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks so it's a toss-up. Our 5th cruise I think but will be traveling with NEWBIES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_cruisin Posted June 27, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2011 My personal opinion - Starboard. If not to sit and watch the airplanes take off from the airport in St. Lucia! The airport is about 2 football field lengths away from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_cruisin Posted June 27, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If you google maps the George Charles Airport in St. Lucia and turn on the satellite view you can actually see 2 cruise ships in the bay and how they are docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
