Port or Starboard?

[Silversands]

We just love sitting on our balcony in the sun prior to dinner with a chilled glass of wine however at the point of choosing our cabin we are never sure if we have chosen the right side of the Ship that will face the setting sun. Is their a fool proof method? Please don't suggest the aft or stern as we have tried that and I felt quite seasick for a lot of the journey as there was so much movement in the cabin.

Thank you for your comment and we are pleased to hear that you enjoy cruising with Fred. Olsen. There is no fool-proof way of selecting a cabin that will always face the setting sun due to the itinerary that you choose, the movement and direction of the ship and where the ship will dock in different destinations. However as I understand it, if you are leaving the UK and heading west for a few days (to the Caribbean for example), then a bit like a south-facing garden, you want to be on the port side but it would be different on the way back.
