what side of the ship?

[denny514]

Hi

we are booking a transpacific cruise from Honolulu to Sydney Australia....I was asked what side of the ship I'd like to be on.

I wasn't sure what to say.....is one side better?? its a one way cruise......left me wondering.........

Doesn't matter. At sea, there is water all around. In ports, the Captain will try to give each side equal time, if possible , facing the dock. Sometimes, the harbor view is better than the dock view!

Hi there

 

I guess ( without having been there ) on one side of the ship you would be able to see a sunrise and on the other a sunset from your cabin. Of course if you have an inside cabin the question would be inane. :)

 

have a great cruise

Thank you!!

I thought the same water is water......but then thought of ports of call and wondered if we were missing something. We have always had a balcony and never been asked which side of the ship did we want to be on.

 

Take care

Can never be sure which way the ship dock and easy to go on deck and watch if necessary.

If you have a balcony, you might want to consider sunny side versus shady side. Otherwise, not much difference.

My thoughts are if you don't see it on the way, you'll see it on the way back. You never know which way a ship will dock. Sometimes they go straight in, other times they back in.

What side of the ship.....

 

The inside.

 

Seriously won't make much difference at all.

 

Most ships Port will give you a nice view of the Opera house when you get to Sydney.

When you have an interior, it doesn't matter. If you have a balcony, sunrises (or sunsets) are gorgeous in a bathrobe with room service coffee!

They're doing a one way cruise. :)

I would do starboard since you would be in the shade the majority of the tims and help keep your room cooler. The sun beating on your cabin wall all day could get hot and keep the A/C from cooling the room as efficiently.

Hawaii to Sydney. Starboard side would have sunsets and hotter afternoon sun. Port side would have sun rises and more pleasant (not as hot) sun.

Maybe it's because of smoking since some levels allow smoking on port and some on starboard people like to book their balconies on the opposite side of the ship from those public areas. Maybe that agent had a lot of people specify a certain side because of that.
