Crown Princess - Portside Or Starbard Side?

[CruiseChat]

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. :)

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.

Thanks Seadrifter

 

Photo did not come through - but info very helpful. Thanks!

[seadrifter]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks LeeW. I will post this link and hope that the Crown docked in Aruba can be seen by anyone who is interested. Please let me know.

Virginia,

 

You've got an extra http:// in that link. But even after I tried it without that, it still didn't find the picture.

....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.

Man, how much trouble can this one picture cause?:confused:

This link worked for me:

Let me know if it works. Thanks.

Maybe it's a firewall issue but it's still not working here. This is what I'm getting (I even tried logging into Yahoo but I got the same thing)...

 

[seadrifter]

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

What do you think about a Mexican Rivera later this year?

After all, I owe J a beer.

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!!!,

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
