Sailing from Manhattan Cruise Terminal...port or starboard

for the best views of NYC?

Well, the answer is both.

 

Leaving the terminal, you are heading south, with Manhattan to the port side.  And the Statue of Liberty will be on the starboard.

 

Returning to the terminal, you are heading north, with Manhattan to the starboard side. And the Statue of Liberty will be on the port.

 

Try Google Maps.

We usually go up to the pool deck or above so we don't miss any of it!

🤔 you may want to think about this before asking that question.

Since the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is on the west side of Manhattan Island and you’re cruising FROM there, you’ll be headed South.

As for best view(s) of NYC, only you can define what “best” means based on what you want to see. 
 

FWIW: a few days ago we finished an Oceania cruise from SF to NY. As we cruised north, most folks found themselves moving from one side of the ship to the other to see all of the key features and landmarks. 
 

Might I suggest that you look at a map of New York Harbor to decide for yourself what’s most important to you. Draw a line from the Westside Cruise Terminal (Pier 90 is at West 50th and 12th Avenue) southward to the center of the Verrazano Bridge. 
 

Look at the map labels for landmarks and you’ll know which side(s) is/are the one(s) for you.
