Default View from Balcony

We are sailing on the CB on Aug. 4th and are in Caribe deck, cabin #628, Port side. Does anyone know which of the islands I'll be able to see when we are arriving from our balcony?

I'm pretty sure I know what the itinerary is from previous cruises, but perhaps you could list your ports of call.

I would say you will have a good view of the islands as you approach from the port side. While docked, you'll have a nice view in Bermuda, Grand Turk, San Juan (if you dock in Old San Juan), and an okay view in St. Thomas if you dock at Crown Bay. You'll have one of the best vistas in the Caribbean, IMHO, if you dock at Havensight.

Enjoy your cruise...

Lew

You will see the Statue of Liberty from your cabin.
Nice way of starting your cruise off.
Bermuda you will be facing outward. Looking on the other side of Bermuda.
Grand Turk - facing the Island. You'll see Marg. Ville.
St Thomas - looking at the Island - pier side.
San Juan - Also Pier side.

I'm pretty sure the starboard side faces The Statue of Liberty at embarkation.

Yes you are correct -
Starboard side you see the Lady, Governor's Island, and the lower tip of Manhattan. Odd number cabins\blue carpet
I always choose this side.
While posting I couldn't remember which cabin I booked for my 8\13th cruise.
Started to panic. Thinking I booked "Port side"
Whew!!!
Just checked -- Starboard side

Just so you know the Stautue of Liberty will be on the opposite side from your balcony when leaving NY.
