memoie Posted September 21, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2011 we will be departing Venice on the MSC Opera. Which side of the ship should we be standing on so that we will see St.Marks as we leave? Should we be on port side or starboard side? I want to get some good pics. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted September 21, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted September 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, the port side, it is a great sail away from Venice as you have a birds eye view. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxguy77 Posted September 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Port side and DON'T MISS IT! Great port and city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh2zed Posted September 21, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Definitely be portside. It is a spectacular sailout or sail in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquilegia Posted September 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, port side, but best of all go up on top and see the whole panorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, port side, but best of all go up on top and see the whole panorama. This to me is key. Go on the top deck of the ship for the best viewing. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayenu Posted September 21, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I took most of the photos coming back. Leaving we just sailed out into the open sea, coming back it took a while to go into canal (Guidecca??) and the city was on the right side.

eh2zed Posted September 21, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, port side, but best of all go up on top and see the whole panorama. Very good advice. Some great starboard views and panoramic views as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted September 22, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2011 On Saturday night, we were on a vaporetto behind Costa Victoria as she sailed out of Venice - looked like everyone was up top taking photos - it really was a beautiful sight. (and we had a fearless vaporetto captain - I was a little concerned as she zipped across the water from one stop to the other, looking like she was going to cut off one of Victoria's tugs:eek:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WELSH WIZARDS Posted September 23, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just make sure you get up and see it wherever you stand..it's one of the best sailouts you can hope to see. We did it a month ago....it's magical. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
