couple_cruisers Posted September 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Does anyone know which side the Allure docks in the ports? or does it always change? What deck are the lifeboats on? I'm concerned about a deck 6 balcony looking down onto life boats. :( thanks for you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo&fran Posted September 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The location of the lifeboats should not be a factor in you enjoyment of your balcony. This class of ship, Oasis and Allure, are designed in such a way that makes the preferred side to dock is the starboard side (right side). However, there are times it needs do do it the opposite direction. You have no way of knowing beforehand when that might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the only time the Oasis/Allure dock with the port side to the pier is if some maintenance needs to be performed on that side of the ship from the pier or the ship needs to do training on or conduct lifeboat drills for the starboard side life boats.

vondofife Posted September 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We were on Oasis on a Western itinerary. We were in room 12594 and we docked with our side of the ship next to the port. I believe it is the same for Allure. Only time it changes is for maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
