vmartzin Posted April 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hello, We are booked in an E2 balcony stateroom on the port side of the Voyager of the Seas,June 20th, 2010 Mediterranean. Which would give the best views of the port cities while docked? Port or Starboard? I know that the ship can port on either side. Does anyone have experience with this itinerary? Thank You for you input!

tropical-lovers Posted April 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2009 We are taking that exact same cruise itinerary in September 2009, I choose the right hand side of the ship (E2 balcony 7318) if you are standing facing the front of the ship. So, since I really don't know, is that the port side or the starboard side?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, since I really don't know, is that the port side or the starboard side?? All references are made as if you are facing the front (bow) of the ship with the back (stern or aft) behind you. In this case your left is the 'port' side and your right is the 'starboard' side. The ships lights at night have a red light on the port side and green on the starboard side. Now there are 2 easy ways to remember all this. 1. All the short words are on the same side LEFT, PORT, RED, so all the long words are ths other side. 2 A handy mnemonic is 'There is some RED PORT wine LEFT in the bottle' Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropical-lovers Posted April 3, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Great - so I picked what I would imagine to be the best side - the starboard side. And now, thanks to you, I will always remember what side to choose and what side of the ship I am on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their can be numerous finger berths at one pier. I asked a few different people the same question. Two of them are travel agents and the other was a RCCL rep. One of the Travel Agents stated she was on the same cruise. They all said the left side facing which I believe is "port". We are on the June 21st, 2009 sailing.
