CruiseChat Posted January 26, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2007 For the island of Aruba (specifically) affords the best view of the island while docked? What about in general for the entire itinerary?:confused: Pls advise ASAP. Thx. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadrifter Posted January 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2007 We were on the starboard side of the Crown in Nov. 2006 and had great views in all ports. This photo shows the Crown docked in Oranjestad, Aruba and shows that the port side of the ship was dockside but starboard also had land views.

seadrifter Posted January 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2007 CruiseChat - Glad my message was helpful to you but wish you could have seen the picture. Have a wonderful cruise on the Crown. I would be interested to know if others can see it and, if not, why the picture is not visible. It shows up on my computer. Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmacf1 Posted January 28, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2007 We were starboard side on our cruise. Except for St Thomas, we docked portside in all the ports. For some of the ports, it didn't matter, but I prefer to be on the same side as the docking side and this wasn't the case. We had the St. Thomas/St. Kitts/Grenada/Bonaire/Aruba itinerary.

LeeW Posted January 29, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am so sorry to hear that my photo does not open because I really like this photo:p. If someone knows what I did wrong or how to correct this, please advise. Thanks. Virginia Cruise critic has a filtering system to keep the size of the board files down. Key is to make a very small picture (like 8K), but not sure of max size. Might vary by who is the board moderator as well. Alternative is to post the picture elsewhere and use a link. Watch out for AOL - non-customers may not be able to see these, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml64 Posted January 30, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2007 ....I really should know this but I'm having a mind meltdown.... Port is odd or even numbered rooms? Yikes...I can't believe I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadrifter Posted January 31, 2007 #15 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks Steven & Daniel. I guess it is time for me to give up. Maybe my son, the computer expert, can help me figure this out; but he lives in another state and his advice takes time. Happy cruising, Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller lite Posted March 31, 2007 #16 Share Posted March 31, 2007 What do you think about a Mexican Rivera later this year? After all, I owe J a beer. Miller lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainron Posted March 31, 2007 #17 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi, In Aruba the port is located on the left hand side of a one-way channel. You will arrive from the beach end of Aruba where all the diving and snorkelling takes place and depart, with the ship exiting the docking channel just a stone's throw from the end of the runway at the airport. That being the case, I would suggest that you would want a cabin on the port side of the vessel. Ciao for now!!!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sixth? Posted March 31, 2007 #18 Share Posted March 31, 2007 We were starboard side on our cruise. Except for St Thomas, we docked portside in all the ports. For some of the ports, it didn't matter, but I prefer to be on the same side as the docking side and this wasn't the case. We had the St. Thomas/St. Kitts/Grenada/Bonaire/Aruba itinerary. We did the B2B and on the Starboard side January 2007. For the second half we were not dock side Barbados, dock side St Lucia, finger docked Antigua (Docks both side, starboard side with the dock you desembarque on), St Martin not dock side, St Thomas not dock side. I'll point out that dock side in San Juan for a B2B isn't ideal. If you want to sleep past 6am the noise of the re-loading of the ship makes it impossible. The racket is unbelievable. We took port side for 2008's Crown B2B for that reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
