Port or Starport?

[dancer 2]

Booked on a b2b on the Crown, 1 leg is clockwise starting at San Juan and going to St. Thomas etc, 2nd leg is counter clockwise going from San Juan to Aruba etc. Have always had port balconys and was on the port side when in port - makes sense? Now for the ??

When "parking" the ship which side will face the land?? :confused:

[mozfoz]

It depends on which way the front of the ship is pointing!

:D

When ships always docked (not parked ..LOL) port side. Those days are long gone. Today, with bow thrusters and azapods, ships can literally turn circles so one week you might dock port side the next week starboard (not starport LOL) depending on others ships in port, etc.

 

One never knows...the thrill of discovery!

 

Bon Voyage!

Thanks - good to know or at least try to know ahead of time. Appreciate the feed back, so quick too, wow.

It all depends on the captains whim, the conditions of the port and expected sea traffic at deptature time. In other words, your guess is as good as mine.

ROFL

 

Oh gee...From the wording of the title I was hoping this would be a cruising vs. space-travel discussion:p

It has little to do with "captain's whim" as another poster stated, but does have a lot to do with pier, tides, winds, volume of traffic, etc.

 

Starport - are we talking Starship Enterprise here?

Damnit Dancer, I'm a vacationer, not a captain! Now beam me up a fru-fru drink. :D

 

Oh and that's "TREKKER." Trekkie is so 70's. LOL!

No, that's where the Enterprise docks :p
