Transatlantic cabin selection

[Madbullogna]

I have seen this topic before, but for the life of me can't find the topic now. ugh.....

 

On a west-bound transatlantic crossing, (Mediterranean to Fort Lauderdale), is there a preferred side to be on?

 

Currently in a starboard aft, but I thought I had read somewhere that a port aft would get us more sunshine. (Assuming there even is any sun during an October crossing...haha).

 

Thanks all. :)

If going west, port will get you more sun since the sun will be on the south facing side of the ship.

Thank you much, time to call and change the room.

The sun isn't always on one side on land, so why would it be at sea? Anyway the ship will not be consistently heading west or east. I wouldn't think it would make much difference in cabin choice.

:confused: This a Transatlantic Westbound, unless the Captain starts making circles out there, the majority of the cruise will be spent heading west.

:D Lol. I wish I could be on a transatlantic where the captain was out making circles. Maybe we'd get another week at sea!

The ship is not always headed west just because it is a westbound cruise. We've done two transats; one New York to Copenhagen and one Tampa to Venice. Both also had a number of ports.

I have had sleepless nights considering this question. Decided to go with an aft cabin. I convinced myself it would be a better wind break.

We did the Transatlantic westbound in November and we were very happy to be port side. We got the afternoon sun while the starboard side was in the shade most of the day.

 

Enjoy the cruise

I was on the Rotterdam's trans-At last November. We had eight consecutive days at sea as we crossed, and every one of them had the sun on port side. The starboard side Lower Promenade was consistently standing room only---the demand for deck chairs on the cooler side was so great.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I just got off the phone and switched my cabin to the port side SC. Woot, can't wait. Only 509 days left, not that I'm counting.
