Starboard Cruise Services, Carnival Cruise Line Extend Retail Partnership

• September 22, 2022

Starboard Cruise Services and Carnival Cruise Line have announced the extension of their long-standing retail partnership for five more years, according to a press release.

In addition to introducing Starboard as the chosen retail partner for Carnival’s new Carnival Celebration, the partnership extension covers Starboard’s current fleet of nine Carnival ships, according to Starboard Cruise Services.

“Our extensive and successful partnership with Carnival Cruise Line uniquely positions us to build upon our track record of keeping families at the center of our retail offerings and bringing to life fun retail vacation experiences,” commented Lisa Bauer, president and chief executive officer, Starboard.

Starboard’s contributions to Carnival’s shopping options include showcasing recognized LVMH brands, exclusive first-at-sea collection offerings, innovative retail concepts, and rich market insights, as Starboard highlights.

“Our dedicated account team of industry experts is excited to continue taking Carnival’s memorable vacation retail concepts to the next level with new offerings and a revamped commercial model,” added Bauer.

Since joining forces in 1992, Starboard and Carnival have been inviting guests to “fun” shopping experiences onboard, and they continue to deliver custom-designed merchandise to sea. Starboard offers Carnival guests a plethora of shopping options onboard the Carnival Dream, Freedom, Horizon, Legend, Magic, Miracle, Pride, Sunrise, and Sunshine, ranging from socially-responsible accessories to vintage luxury items, as well as an extensive list of Carnival-branded products.

“As retailers, we saw more opportunity to really kick it up a notch on Carnival Celebration, so we’re excited to see how our guests love our new offerings as much as our classics,” said Jeremy Schiller, vice president of retail operations, Carnival Cruise Line.

When the Carnival Celebration debuts later this year, guests can expect to shop first-at-sea brand collectibles, destination-inspired merchandise, and the biggest logo selection offered across Carnival’s fleet.

Choosing your cabin on a cruise can present a dizzying array of choices. Interior, ocean view or balcony? Low or high cabin? Forward or aft? What service level do you want? And each option comes with its own price point.

One of these decisions is whether to book a stateroom on the port side versus starboard side of the cruise ship.

If you have an interior room, this won’t matter much, but even in ocean-view rooms with only a window view, your choice can make a huge difference in your experience.

Here’s how to understand what is port side versus starboard side of a cruise ship and decide which is the right cabin for you.

What is port vs. starboard side?

For avid cruisers, port and starboard may be as natural as saying “left” and “right.”

But if port sounds like an after-dinner drink and starboard is what you feel after you’ve had too much port, here’s a quick primer.

Port and starboard are terms for direction relative to the front of the ship. When facing the front of the ship, the port side is on your left and the starboard side is on the right.

The terms come from Old English and how boats were configured in the early days of boating. Port and starboard are on the same sides of the ship, regardless of your orientation. If you face the rear (aft) of the ship, port is on your right and starboard is on your left.

When does the choice matter?

Your choice of the starboard or the port side of a cruise ship may not matter if you select an interior room or have a lower stateroom with only a small window. Typically, your choice of ship side will start to matter if you opt for a higher room offering a balcony.

Some cruises offer an equal experience for those on the port side and travelers on the starboard side. If your cruise is a closed-loop or a round-trip beginning and ending at the same port, your cruise is likely to be equally scenic on the port or starboard side. You may just see different things at different parts of your journey.

The same is true if you are cruising across the open ocean. Your view of the ocean will be similar on both sides.

Ensuring spectacular coastal views

If it’s majestic coastal scenery you are after, consider booking the side that will face the direction of the coast for the majority of your trip.

Some captains will turn the ship around in particularly scenic locations like Glacier Bay in Alaska or Napali Coast in Hawaii so that all passengers can enjoy some views. But if you are cruising along the coast, one side of the ship will likely offer better views.

Whether the starboard versus port side of your cruise ship is more desirable depends on the travel direction and route.

For example, cruising from Vancouver, B.C., to Whittier, Alaska, northbound, you might prefer a starboard side room to get majestic views of the Canadian and Alaskan coastlines. Southbound cruisers will want to opt for a port-side room for the same views.

Here comes the sun

You may also prefer the port versus the starboard side of your cruise ship based on where the sun is.

If soaking up every warm ray of sunshine is your priority, a room facing the equator on an east-west cruise will provide the best sunshine all day long. In the Northern Hemisphere, book the starboard side of an eastbound cruise and the port side of a westbound cruise.

On the other hand, if you are sensitive to the sun, or want to ensure that your cabin remains cool, consider booking on the side of the ship that is likely to face the nearest pole.

On an east-west cruise in the Northern Hemisphere, you will get the most protection from the sun if you book the port side of an eastbound cruise or the starboard side of a westbound cruise.

If you’re cruising in the Southern Hemisphere, the north-facing rooms will enjoy the most sun, so take the recommendations above and swap the sides. Eastbound cruises get the most sun on the port side; westbound on the starboard side.

Watching a sunset over the ocean or seeing the sun slip behind distant islands can also be a reason for a side preference.

To catch sunsets, you’ll want to be on the port side on northbound cruises and starboard on southbound cruises.

If seeing the sunset from your cruise is a priority, ensure that your dinner time doesn't conflict with the sunset. Cruise operators will often publish the sunrise and sunset times along your route. And dining in your stateroom is an option if you want to take advantage of the view.

Embarking and disembarking

Another consideration is the view you get when your ship is in port. But which side offers a better view is relatively unpredictable because cruise ships can dock on either side of the ship.

The direction a ship docks depends on port configuration, direction of travel, regulations and captain discretion. Even if you painstakingly research which ports you will visit, basing your cabin selection solely on this is unlikely to pay off with a great view.

The views from most ports aren't typically spectacular and you’re probably going to spend most of the time in port on shore exploring. And at a larger busy port, any view is likely to be blocked by other cruise ships.

The bottom line

There is no one side of a cruise ship that is always “the best.” Whether a cruise ship's port versus starboard side is better for you on a given itinerary will be a personal calculation based on preferences, route and what you want to see.

The best way to determine the best side to book is to examine the planned route, consider your preferences for scenery and sunshine, and book the side likely to give you the experience you value most.

Port Vs. Starboard: What Side of the Ship Is Best?

Last updated: March 6th, 2023

• Find a Cruise

When you’re picking your stateroom for an upcoming cruise, you might be wondering whether the port vs. starboard side of the ship is best to stay on. Your decision will depend on a variety of factors, from your stateroom type to your cruise itinerary . Here are helpful tips for choosing which side of the ship will suit you best.

What’s the difference between port and starboard?

Simply put, port is the left side of the ship and starboard is the right side of the ship.

This lingo emerged around the 16th century, as colonization of the New World boomed. Port and starboard were adapted from Old English, specifically in the maritime trading industry.

While terms like “left” and “right” can change based on your own personal perspective, port side and starboard side remain constant, even if your perceived orientation changes. This minimizes confusion for anyone navigating any kind of vessel, including a cruise ship.

Read:  Forward vs. Aft of a Ship

What's the best side of a cruise ship to stay on?

Choosing the best stateroom for your ideal getaway is understandably an important step in the planning process. Luckily, you’ll see incredible views during your cruise whether you’re starboard or port side.

You can choose which side you want to stay on based on your unique itinerary and route.  On some cruises, like through the Panama Canal, you’ll experience breathtaking views from both sides. If you’re planning a Western Mediterranean cruise , take a look at the departure port and work out which direction your ship will sail.

Other itineraries double back to disembark at the original departure port, so you’ll enjoy views from both directions. These are called closed-loop cruises or roundtrip sailings.

The stateroom you choose depends on what you most want to see. Water lovers may be content to look out at the peaceful ocean waves from their stateroom. Some travelers prefer land views, so they can sail up to breathtaking cityscapes or rugged mountain peaks in the distance.

What’s the best side to stay on for an Alaska cruise?

While a cruise is known as the best way to see Alaska , choosing the perfect side to stay on depends on the direction that your ship is traveling in. Some Alaska itineraries are unique in that they tend to focus on one specific geographic direction; for example, Celebrity’s Alaska itineraries include Northbound and Southbound sailings that only travel in that direction.

Northbound Alaska cruises sail up the coastline through the Inside Passage and along Hubbard Glacier, so your best view of Alaska’s scenic landmasses are likely on the starboard side of the ship.

Southbound Alaska cruises are the opposite. They sail down the coast, so the port side of the ship will face the coastline and the starboard side will face the Gulf of Alaska.

Of course, your cruise ship will rotate a complete 360 degrees at some of the cruising ports like Dawes Glacier and Hubbard Glacier, so you can enjoy incredible views no matter where you’re staying on the ship. Don’t forget that while you’re en route to other destinations, the view from the open sea remains the same no matter what side of the ship you’re on. Plus, you can view Alaska’s majestic glaciers from any of the ship’s viewing decks.

Which side is best for sunrises and sunsets?

Part of the magic of setting sail on a cruise is the sunrises and sunsets you’ll see each day of your vacation. Many travelers choose staterooms with verandas so they can sip coffee from their stateroom early in the morning, or enjoy a golden-hour cocktail as the day wanes.

Keep in mind that the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. Once you know what direction your itinerary is sailing in, that can impact whether you stick to the starboard side or port side on your vacation.

Here’s the general advice for seeing sunrises and sunsets on a cruise:

• Headed north or west? Choose a port side stateroom for sunsets. Go with starboard for sunrises.
• Headed south or east? Go port side for sunrises and starboard for the sunset.

Choosing a higher deck tends to come with more sweeping views, while some prefer lower cabins midship for greater stability from the natural sway of the ship. Even if you prefer an interior-facing stateroom or one with a window instead, you’ll still have your pick of onboard venues to watch the days wax and wane.

Watch the sun come up from the sweeping windows of Cafe al Bacio with a cappuccino in hand. Relax on the lounge chairs of an upper-level pool deck as the sun fades. Enjoy one-of-a-kind venues on your ship, like a sunset dinner on the cantilevered Magic Carpet on Celebrity Edge , which transforms into new experiences depending on which deck it’s stationed on.

If watching the sunset every evening is on your bucket list, make sure your chosen dinner time doesn’t conflict with the hour that the sun dips below the horizon. Your daily copy of Celebrity Today will list sunset and sunrise times so you won’t miss out. You can always choose to dine in your stateroom so you get a front-row view every night.

Read: What Deck Is Best on a Cruise Ship?

What side do ships dock on?

Ships can dock on either port or starboard side, depending on the layout of the port itself, the direction you are sailing in, and individual government regulations about how cruise ships can be arranged on a pier. It’s also often at the discretion of the captain to choose how to position the ship in port.

No matter what lingo you use while you’re sailing, remember these wise words of Celebrity Edge Captain Kate McCue: “Whatever you do, don’t call it a boat.”

Now that you know a few things about the difference between starboard vs. port side, you’re ready to take the next step in your cruise vacation planning. Browse cruise itineraries on our website.

Port Vs Starboard: Which Side Is Right For Your Cruise Room?

W hen planning a cruise vacation, you're presented with plenty of options to customize your cruising experience. Of course, you'll choose a cruise with a preferred route, duration, and ports of call, but you'll also choose your accommodations. Typically, cruise lines offer a wide range of room types, from budget-friendly interior staterooms to high-end suites with private balconies.

Passengers usually consider square footage, deck level, interior versus exterior, and their budget when choosing accommodations. Picking a side of the ship? Not so much. And while choosing between the port side and starboard side of a cruise ship may not matter in most cases, there could be instances a preference makes sense.

First, we should mention that the port side is the left side of the ship when facing the bow (front of the ship), while the starboard side is the cruise ship 's right side when facing the bow. In many cases, the specific side won't affect your experience, but sometimes "choosing sides" may be worth exploring.

Choosing A Side On One-Way Cruises

If you're planning to take a closed-loop, or round-trip cruise, then preference for a side may be a moot point. On round-trip cruises, which are more common than one-way cruises, all passengers will experience the scenery from both sides at some point on the route. Also, if you choose an interior room, then choosing between the port or starboard side shouldn't matter too much, either.

However, a specific side may matter when on a one-way cruise, especially if that route tends to hug the coast. Popular one-way cruises include southbound or northbound Alaskan cruises, as well as west or eastbound voyages on Mediterranean cruises. On these types of cruises, you're view will depend on your cabin placement for the majority of your trip.

With that said, we should mention that on many "scenery-conscious" cruises, such as routes through Glacier Bay in Alaska or a fjord cruise through Norway, the captain will typically loop around particularly scenic areas, ensuring passengers on both sides of the ship enjoy the view.

Choosing Between Sunrises And Sunsets

Along with different views, sunrises and sunsets are also considerations on one-way cruises. As a quick reminder, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so if you're northbound and prefer to see the sunrise every night, then you'll want to choose accommodations on the port side. If traveling southbound, you'll want to choose lodging on the starboard side of the ship. If you're an early riser, then switch up these sides to enjoy the sunrise every day.

Again, if you're taking a round-trip cruise, then you'll probably get a combination of sunrises and sunsets throughout the trip, so choosing a "better" side may not be necessary. On roundtrip cruises, most cruisers consider deck level as more important. In general, passengers on higher deck levels enjoy more expansive views.

It may also be wise for passengers prone to seasickness to book an exterior cabin in the middle of the ship, which typically experiences less movement when sailing. So while choosing a particular side of the ship may matter in a few cases, it's only one of many considerations when thoughtfully selecting your cruise cabin .
