Have too disagree we have that on the westbound TAs included on an Arctic TA , were we at the bow of ship Northern light watching , not freezing our Axx off 😁
we prefer westbound because we like to travel before the cruise as I just like to go home after the cruise
And 25 hour days are nicer
portside for Westbound if you want a sunny balcony
on Eastbound it really doesn’t matter
