docking at Falmouth?

[39august]

I know ship dockings can vary with winds, currents etc. But which side of the ship is usually overlooking the dock at Falmouth, please, port or starboard?

I don't know if this is still true, but many years ago an officer from a cruise line said thst if possible they alternate which side overlooks the dock. This is done so the crew can paint the side of the ship. I believe they paint the sea side so paint don't drip on the pier and safety in the even they fall.

 

Of course this depends on which side needs painting and what the port authority approve

 

Like I said up front not sure this still applies

The starboard side faces the dock in Falmouth.

If it's Oasis/Allure you are talking about....since it docks starboard 99% of the time it would be the starboard side.

Speaking of which....how is the progress coming along with Falmouth? Is it complete yet?
