Adventure of the Seas - Which Side

[Qtypie617]

We are thinking of sailing on AOS in December 2012 and wanted to know what would be the better side of the ship for a balcony cabin? When in port we want to be able to look off our balcony and see the port and the island. Any advice?

It depends on what ports you are going to. Aruba and Curacao the ship docks on its port side just about invariably. St. Thomas and St. Maarten can vary. St. Lucia is usually starboard side to the pier.

Even if you aren't facing the dock, there are great views around you....you won't be looking "out to sea"! You'll be in a harbor and there are plenty of scenic things! You really can't predict which way the ship may dock!

In Aruba and Curacao the starboard side of the ship does exactly that.... faces out to sea. Have you ever been to either one of those ports?

I recently got of the AOS barbados route. Our room was on the starboard side, and we had good views throughout the cruise. I don't remember every island, but I think St Croix it was perpendular to the land, in Antigua, it was also sort of perpendicular to the land, I think in Barbados we were facing the island and the port side faced the sea, but can't remember for sure.
