willieg Posted April 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We will soon make reservations for a cruise of HOS Western Caribbean out of Port Canaveral for the summer of '19. . Some of the children will be on their first cruise. Which will be best for them to see the most--port or starboard? How are the balcony cabins on Deck 8? That seems like a good location for 10 year olds and teens.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The ship will dock on the starboard side most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a good location for 10 year olds and teens.:D I made the mistake on Symphony booking my room on the Left (Port) and the way the ship is designed (because of the escalators) she will dock 99% of the time on the Starboard. As far as booking on Deck 8... On the Oasis class I will only book on Deck 8 because of Central Park. It is a great way to transit the ship without walking through a stateroom hallway. I always stop at the Trellis bar before heading to the MDR and my wife stops at Vintages. Not mention... On days in port, Central Park makes a good quick breakfast spot without the congestion of Windjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieg Posted April 25, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thanks so much. This info is just what I needed. After a day or two I am sure the kids will know the ship much better than the adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted April 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We always book starboard side on the Oasis class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypo Posted April 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We always book starboard side. After 26 cruises, we would probably get lost if our cabin was on port side! We usually book deck 8 for the reasons outlined by a previous poster. If we cannot get deck 8 then we go for deck 11. If you can, snag a cabin that is close to the aft elevators (also known as midship elevators) It can be a long walk up or down the hallway if you are too far removed from those elevator banks.

cb at sea Posted April 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You will be OFF the ship in ports....and you'll be in a harbor when you're docked, so there's plenty to see on ALL sides! It's an "either/or" situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
