Caribbean Princess: Which side is the dock?

[Anja84]

Hi everyone!

I'm relatively new to cruiseing with two cruises under my belt. Both were different ships and both ships always docked on the same side - one starboard and one port side.

I like to sit on my balcony and watch the port. So, for my upcoming cruise from New York City to Québec:

Does anyone know on which side the gangway is on the Caribbean Princess?

Thanks, for your help!

The gangway is on both sides.

The dock position will depend on the weather,  tides, other ships in port, etc, so it is an impossible question to answer with 100% certainty.

Different sides at different ports. Depends on many operational factors. Gangways can be placed on either side of the ship. It Quebec City the bow faced up river when we were there.

If possible, we try to always book an aft-facing cabin, so we don't have make these types of decisions as there are usually some great views either while we're docked in port as well as sail away. 😉

We quite often have experienced the same ship in the same port berthed in  different directions.
