Freedom Starboard Side

[Sunshine-lady]

We are booked on the Freedom (Eastern) for next May. We have a Starboard room booked. Just wondering when this ship docks at St. Thomas and St. Martin, whether this room is facing the port, or facing outwards? We like to watch all the commotion at the port?

I sailed the Eastern on Freedom last New Years.

Ship docked with the starboard side to the pier.

Last year when I was on Freedom both ports were on the starboard side.

 

St. Thomas:

 

St. Maarten:

Cruised the Freedom 3 weeks ago and we were starboard side to pier in St. Thomas and port side to pier in St. Maarten.

You have a 50/50 chance of facing port....the ships don't dock in the same direction, or even the same docking location every time.

We've been in ports where there was another ship beside us....giving us a view into another ship's cabins, instead of the port area!

Thank you for all your responses.

Actually the pics you show, the ports are on the Port side of the ship. The Pier itself is on the starboard side if that is what you meant.

 

They are also often parking in backwards as the master wishes.
