Port or Starboard?

[Leslie14]

My husband and I will be sailing abourd the Sea Princess on the 10-day cruise from New York to Quebec City and were wondering if the port or starboard side is preferrable. We are tentatively booked in B741. A very aft balcony cabin on the starboard side. Any opinions or recommendations about this location?

We always book a cabin on the side nearest land as we have found we generally have better views as we come into port. Of course, this is only relevant if you have a balcony stateroom and if you would prefer to sit on your balcony as you come into the ports. On your cruise the majority of the ports will be on the port side, although arrival into Quebec City will be on the starboard side-- and it's a beautiful city to sail into. If it were me and if I had a balcony stateroom, I'd pick the port side.

I have the same question but for the Island Princess going to Hawaii. On the way to Hawaii is one side better. Have heard that on the way over the port side is less windy. Anyone know if this is true or not?
