Yankees2012 Posted July 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2013 We are planning on booking the Victory in August stopping at Key West and Cozumel. Just wondering which side of the ship should we book to watch any pier runners in Cozumel? Thank you all for any info!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4Cruisers Posted July 2, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to it, but we've had more visibility of the gangways on the Starboard side of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted July 2, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Never heard of anyone planning their vacation around watching pier runners but if that floats your boat ( pun intended ) I am sure someone here can help you out :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolor23 Posted July 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Don't quote me on this, but last time I went to Cozumel, the Magic docked with it's port side facing the gangway, and the Legend docked with the starboard side facing gangway. The Legend came into port first, so I think it may have something to do with the timing of the docking. Check who's going to be in port that day, and try to see if you're earlier (starboard) or later (port). I don't know if that made any sense at all, or I'm just going crazy from not cruising in a while... If not, public decks aren't that bad :P Edited July 2, 2013 by Zolor23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdemn Posted July 2, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I don't know put Cozumel is the best port for runner!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare skittl1321 Posted July 2, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2013 We didn't get to see any pier runners in Cozumel. The line was still hundreds long when sail away (not all aboard) time came. People just slowly ambled on... There may have been a runner who was like an hour or two late, but we gave up and went to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicksMom Posted July 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The Magic is Port side. We love watching the pier runners in Cozumel. In Key West, it was Starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted July 2, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Definitely port side. And they are FUN to watch. Especially the REAL drunk ones that "stumble" back on the ship, or better yet, get "escorted" back by their better half, or a wheelchair. Some people just seriously OVERDO it in Cozumel. Nevertheless, FREE ENTERTAINMENT:D:D:D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallFour4 Posted July 2, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Normally I would not believe this, but this is the Carnival threads.... Best side for 13 trips to Cozumel has been the port side. 11 of 13 times. Matt... your killing me; the best ones we have ever seen were on the Rhapsody of the Seas days sailing 7 nights from Galveston. One face plant, dozens of lost shoes and one Mensa reject did a cannon ball from the pier... Our Mark Spitz wannabe was promptly escorted by security ON the ship. Got that one on video. .

tallyho8 Posted July 2, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 2, 2013 In my photo you can see the 2 Carnival ships docked in Cozumel. The starboard side is on the pier of one ship and the port side is on the pier of the other. So it just depends on which side of the pier the boat docks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief yak Posted July 2, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Can go either way depending on which way the ship parks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy nuke Posted November 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The best place is pier side aft. It could be on either the port or starboard side. Either way, watching those fools never gets old ha ha. Sometimes they make it......and sometimes they don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuervosar Posted November 2, 2016 #19 Share Posted November 2, 2016 If there are an even # of letters in the ships name, and they are docking on an odd day, Starboard. If the name is odd, and the date is even, Port. Old cruise ship tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
