SeasTheDay12 Posted October 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Need some advice for port or starboard side? I've taken several TA's and hope to get some sun for balcony time- not to sun bathe, just be warmer[emoji6] Location mid ship before the hump Any advice appreciated!

Rare cruisestitch Posted October 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Going west you will want to be on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin5353 Posted October 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It fully depends on your interests. If you want a chance to have a hot, sunny balcony, a port cabin is your choice. If you want a difused light balcony, not so hot, then a starboard cabin. We've had both and our port side last fall aboard the Silhouette was WAY too hot a couple of days. We couldn't use it midday, so we went elsewhere. You can't predict the weather. We'll choose the shady side now.

SeasTheDay12 Posted October 8, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hate to ask more, but this is where the real experts help from experience... My choice is port forward mid ship or star forward on the hump with bigger balcony starboard? Bigger balcony has its benefits, but so does some sun. What would you do?

wendychloecruiser Posted October 8, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2016 You've taken "several" TA's therefore where did you like with those? You will get all sorts of opinions. My vote would be port side westbound but that's not worth squat 'cause I'm not there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeasTheDay12 Posted October 8, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hi Wendychloecruiser I had a reflection sig suite which is port side but way forward. Even when temps ok, the wind was too much. Had stern sky suites, great view, no wind so warm, just a long walk - stern wonderful but NOT on resort deck- too much noise from above..Had mid ship suites - fantastic! But sold out, booked late. Wish you were there too! Never did last minute cruise before, but I'm sure I will enjoy it. Thanks for your opinion!
