mjrtar Posted October 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I am comparing Getaway cabins 10312 (corner aft port side) and 10912 (corner aft starboard side). Does anyone have experience with these cabins? We are sailing 12 nights from NY City to the Caribbean: Bermuda, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Dominican Republic, etc.) I wondered if there were significant differences in balcony sizes and views on port or starboard sides of the balconies. Thank for any help you can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrtar Posted October 19, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thanks, kjquilts! Still hoping someone has recommendations between port or starboard in Caribbean ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for any help you can provide. They are mirror images of each other. Size and configuration are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaveitallbehind Posted October 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The side of the ship you are doesn't matter as different ports have different pier positions and it is also the Captain's discretion as to which side of the ship he docks to the pier. We have been to Bermuda a number of times and have docked on both the starboard and port side of the ship. And at St. Kitts, for example, the pier runs out perpendicular to the port so you typically dock bow in, although I have seen ships docked there stern in. Many ports are like that. In other words there is no way to predict which side of the ship will be to the pier, so which side of the ship you are on matters little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
