cruisinlawn Posted May 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2014 does it really matter port side or starboard for s/bound itinerary?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentoAlaska Posted May 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2014 We were advised by our representative at Princess to take the port side (left side when facing forward) on our southbound cruise. She said that then we had a view of the land side for the entire journey. We are new to cruising so we took her advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinlawn Posted May 29, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks, we've sailed the inside passage roundtrip out of Seattle and found that it didn't make much difference, least to us. Just not sure about the Whittier to Vancouver route or least until we get to Skagway. I feel the remainder of our itinerary, fr Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan to Vancouver will be what we've done before. As stated, just curious upon the northern end of itinerary. Thanks for the advice. Your going to be thrilled with your trip. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentoAlaska Posted May 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2014 We ARE very excited about our Alaska trip. We aren't booked until July, 2015 but I am already having a great time reading all the information on this forum! Our only other experiences with cruising has been in the Caribbean on specialty cruises. This will be our "trip of a lifetime" so planning and listening to opinions on this site and others like it is a HUGE part of making our plans!

DaKa2002 Posted May 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2014 We have sailed all three ways (south to north, north to south, and out and back to the same port - Seattle). We would recommend following your representative's advice! Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted May 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2014 We were on the southbound Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas in a starboard side suite. We left from Seward and disembarked in Vancouver. It was a great experience. We spent a lot of time on our balcony. Happy sailing! Alaska is awesome!
