Mariner of the Seas Question

[maggiecharlie]

Does the captain back in or does he pull in forward when in St. Thomas and St. Maarten?

 

Trying to decide which is the best side of the ship to be on right or left.

 

Would like to see the towns from my balcony room. I know the Navigator of the Seas Captain when we were in those ports always backed in.

Must tell you that the Captain will decide when he gets there. It is usually decided by weather, current, other ships at dock, and sometimes just what mood he is in at the moment.

 

But....

 

Here's the other:

 

We have been to St. Thomas 6 or 7 times and only once did he back into the dock. So, if I was a betting man, (and I am;) ) and wanted to know which side of the ship to book so I could see the bay while at dock, I'd book the Port Side.

 

Hope This Helps.

When we were in St, Thomas, the ship "parallel parked" with the starboard (right) side to the dock!

We cruised this itinerary a month ago, and port side was better for both St Thomas and St Maarten.

Capt. Johnny pulled in when we were there last Fall. Starboard had the view of the pier and some nearby hills, but from our portside view, we could see beautiful Charlotte Amalie and the bay. That was the money view, so I would bet on port, too!!

All you would have to do is book two rooms each on opposite sides of the ship.

 

That way you could just run from one to the other and decide which view was best at any given time.;)

We had beautiful views in both St. Thomas and St. Maarten from the port side.

Thanks for the help guys!

 

I currently have a cabin on the starboard side on hold might have to change that.
