SandCVT Posted November 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We would like our cabin to be dock side when we are in port when possible. What would be the best option for Port Canaveral and Nassau, port or starboard? Thanks much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it's not a regular schedule. Just pick a side and go with it. Edited November 26, 2020 by BND 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescats5 Posted November 26, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We port side on Oasis by watching the PC webcam and it was docked port side until the time we sailed which then they were parked starboard. So good luck and just pick the side with the room you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted November 26, 2020 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I’ll go starboard side 3-4 cruises in a row then switch to port side just to confuse my directionally challenged wife.🤣 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted November 26, 2020 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We book staterooms on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipeeinthepool Posted November 26, 2020 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The Oasis interior is set up to favor docking on the starboard side. Unless there are some specific maintenance issues or life boat testing, Oasis will usually dock on the starboard side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 26, 2020 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2020 90% of the time Oasis docks on the Starboard side, (designed to do so). We like starboard out of PC simply because as you leave the port, starting to curve to the south...you will have a great view of the sunset from your balcony.

molly361 Posted November 26, 2020 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Always book starboard side if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted November 26, 2020 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Even if Oasis has some sort of activity planned at one of the ports that require a port side docking the chances are most of the ports will be starboard side. If it is important to you then book starboard. That will give you the best odds.... and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted November 26, 2020 #12 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We always pick the Starboard side. Even when we're facing aft, we're on the starboard half facing aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Viking Posted November 26, 2020 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2020 For us it all depends on itiniary. If we go to San Juan, as an example, and leave after dark, we prefer starboard side to enjoy the lit-up El Moro fort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s such a good sport. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s such a good sport. I think we could get a lot of walking in if we followed our wives. Mine is not such a good sport though. She gets frustrated if she starts going the wrong way and I correct her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG65CB Posted November 28, 2020 #20 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I always book the same side of the ship, between fore and aft elevators, to keep myself oriented on how to find the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MISTER 67 Posted November 28, 2020 #21 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) In the old days it meant something, thus the word POSH, Port out, Starboard home. You didn't want to be on the same side as the sun as there was no AC on those old ocean liners especially on north-south routes. We have never booked a cruise caring what side of the ship our cabin was on. Edited November 28, 2020 by MISTER 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
