Port or starboard

[lodge172]

Hi is it better to be port or starboard for the afternoon sun on Azura in the Carribean?

Deepens which way the ship is facing

 

 

Seven tenths of the world is covered in sea - that's a lot of cruising to do!

Depends even!

To get the afternoon sun on the port side, the ship must be travelling north or north west. For the starboard side, she must be sailing south or south east. For Caribbean cruises, there are few sea days; most are spent in port so it doesn't matter. And, since these cruises usually start and finish at Barbados, the ship changes the direction she travels so what sun you gain one day, you lose on another.

 

Best thing is to get on upper decks to get the sun from whichever direction.
