Alaska question

[joanskid]

I am planning on booking a Carnival Alaska cruise soon. I am going to get one of the wrap around aft suites.

 

My question is (please don't laugh...) is there a better side to be on? The only time that I think that it might matter, is when we are cruising Tracy Arm Fjord on the way to Skagway. My instincts tell me that the right side is best, but I thought I would ask the "experts". Both corners are available, so I appreciate your input!!

They do a 180 at TAF so no issue. We were starboard and tended to be facing the ports.

Thanks for the quick reply!!

 

Did you enjoy facing the ports, or would you have preferred the other side?

OK, I just noticed that this reply was from a Princess cruise. Would the Carnival itinerary be different?

It really only makes a difference if you are one-way, you would want starboard for northbound and port for southbound. A r/t shouldn't really matter.

Thanks for all of your responses! I guess I will flip a coin!
