Rare 1025cruise Posted June 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Doesn't matter. No way to predict which way the ship will dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomedbob Posted June 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Depends on the weather. There is no town, just a bunch of shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 2, our cabin was on the port side and the ship docked such that we were facing the ocean. For our most recent cruise, we switched sides and had the same view as the previous visits.

maryred Posted June 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Ships are required to test at least 1 lifeboat every week and tend to alternate which side of the ship that lifeboat comes from. So most ships that call on Bermuda alternate which side faces the port area and which side faces Pembroke Parish across the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mk-ultra Posted June 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Doesn't really matter in Nassau. Even if your side of the ship is facing the ocean, the cruise docks are in a protected harbor between Nassau and Paradise Island. If you look towards the ocean, you're looking at Paradise Island. For what it's worth, our ship pulled into the harbor, did a 180, and backed into the docks... so the starboard side would have been the notional "ocean facing" one. https://goo.gl/maps/P1f8H8vijpiWfU3C9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelicanBill Posted June 5, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Something else to know about Bermuda: The long winding channel includes a continuing view of Bermuda and a close pass to St. Georges and is a full hour long. So on the way in, the Port side gets the view, on the way out it's the Starboard side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
