What side is the anchor on?

[aggieastrosfan]

We have our first VERY forward cabin next week - 6 cabins off the front on Empress. Curious which side the anchor's on. :o

[jessemon]

[stlrboo]

But they only use it at 'tendered' ports....! :o That would be an issue, 'why'...:confused:;)

You are only going to Cozumel so I don't think they even have to drop the anchor.

 

Enjoy your cruise.:)\

Depending on the ship in some tendered ports they do not drop the anchor. The ship is able to maintain position with the bow and stern thrusters. The anchor is located on both sides. Just like the bow thrusters, we consider the anchor dropping to be our morning wakeup call when we have a cabin upfront.

Oh Mere, I hope that's an April Fool's joke about your dog. If it is, you suckered me in... but if it's not, I'm sending you a great big hug!

I am guessing they are wondering about the noise.

An anchor is an anchor unless you are in a cabin near in when they drop it. It's not exactly quiet. Not that it matters why, but OP has a young son that she might hope gets a few extra minutes of sleep of the morning. It was a fair question.

Unfortunately Vickie, she's telling the truth. I think she posted about it on the Crossers thread.

Um, the front side? :p:D

 

Have a great cruise!

Jessemon,

 

Both? Top and bottom? Why not just the bottom?

 

How would an anchor on the top work and what would it anchor to?

I believe an anchor on the top is called a sky hook.:cool:

Port? I thought they tied off when they were in port. Wouldn't anchors in port break stuff?

 

Starboard is the top? As in toward the stars right? :confused:
