Which is why when someone says they are booking a cruise and sailing on the port side of a ship in order to see the port, all they are really doing is booking a cabin on the left side of a ship (when facing forward).

 

The left side is the port side, no matter what way you're facing.

I enjoying watching web streams of different cruise ports, one of the things I notice is some ships back into the dock while others pull straight into the dock. Does anyone knows what determines whether a ship pulls in or backs into the dock?

Interesting answers to your question. Frankly, before reading this thread I thought it was because variety is the spice of life for ship Captains too!
