alow Posted May 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2017 So we are booked in on NCL Bliss to Alaska and I realized looking over our whole party's rooms that we are all on the port side. Is there a better side to be on? Just for quick reference we're going Seattle-Ketchikan-Juneau/Sawyer Glacier-Skagway and Victoria before coming back to Seattle.

cb at sea Posted May 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is this a "round trip", or are you flying back to Seattle? If it's round trip, you will have a view of both sides....one coming , one going.You won't be IN your cabin all the time, either...so you can wander about and see all you want to!

alow Posted May 9, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It is a round trip. Thanks for the info. I've also considered attempting to switch for an aft cabin but unsurprisingly many are booked up. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alow Posted May 9, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Almost forgot to respond to the location. We are currently booked aft on the port side so unless I'm mistaken it should be rooms above and below. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbwex Posted May 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It really makes little or no difference. Along the coast of Alaska, you are not close enough to see anything except the mountains along the coast in the distance. If you are going through the Inside Passage, you will see land on both sides. Going into and out of port is nothing that you need to worry about in any given port. Besides, you will be out on deck if you go into one or more of the fjords. Bear in mind that with the exception of the Inside Passage, ships do not stay very close to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
