Ruby - which side of ship - Hawaii

[phabric]

Booking a balcony on the Ruby for 16 day Hawaii cruise.

 

Is one side better than the other for Hawaii or does it not matter both good?

Not really, but here is some information. Outbound the ship is heading southwest, port side morning sun, afternoon shade. On the return it's the opposite. Views are the majestic open ocean from either side. When docked. Honolulu there are views from both sides. Nawiliwili believe the ship docks with the port side to the dock, land views from the port side. Hilo, there isn't much of a view from either side. Lahina, is a tender port. Direction of the ship varies according to the wind, tides, etc.

Honolulu City Lights and Diamond Head are in the Starboard side of the ship.

we alternate from cruise to cruise...pick the location on the ship (deck & mid, forward, aft) & what's still available when you book over which side...
