Which side of the Dream to be on ?

Hi ,
Which side of the ship do i want to be on to have a good view of Castaway Cay ?

Thanks

Sam

My understanding is that the ship usually backs into CC, so you would want Starboard. However, there may be sea conditions that may have the ship not back in, etc.

Also, you can see the fireworks from the Starboard side on Pirate night. Just FYI...

Another reason the ship may not back in is for planned maintenance.... From what I gather here you probably have about a 9 in 10 shot of backing in--my own estimate.

We were on the Dream and had a starboard facing Verandah room with amazing views of Castaway Cay!!!! The ship definitely backed in .

Here are a few pictures that I took from our balcony:

Before we left port we had a view of the DCL terminal, lol

If you have breakfast before leaving, go to Cabana's. Great view of the island from there as well.

ETA: Just don't eat the pancakes!!

They built a giant palm tree there?. I did not know that!. Since when is there? I've never noticed that when I was there on my last trip!

You are like the third person that has said that. Please, I must know, what was wrong with the pancakes?

I was on the MV of Dream and we had a great cruise and you can not count me in with all the negative reports but I can not tell a lie -- the pancakes in Cabanas were horrible. Cold, hard, tasteless Don't worry, I did not go hungry. It just left me more room for bacon, sausage, hash browns, potatoes, croissants and pineapple.

That rather large palm tree is most likely a fake and it really a tela communitations tower.

The palm tree is a communications "tower".

How do you find out what side of the ship your on?

 

[Deb loves Disney]

The Palm Tree is 100% a communications tower and it is used for the new Wave Phones among other things.

I had no idea that it was fake until another cruiser told me, lol. Then when we were on the island and could see it up close, you can see the wires and antennae under the fake palm fronds.

How do you find out what side of the ship your on?

Check out the ship's deck plans -- find your room number and if you are on the left-side of the ship, that is port. Otherwise, you're on starboard.

 

[MrsMinease]

Does anyone have pics handy of what you would see if you're on the Port side and they back into CC?

 

[jamielynn]

You know I always forget which side it is I should book on... Port or Starboard...

Oh well, port it is again... One of these days I'll remember starboard so I can watch the fireworks from the verhanda.

 

[FJS961]

How do you find out what side of the ship your on?

You can tell from your room number: on Magic/Wonder x5xx is starboard (right) and x0xx is port (left). Same with the Dream. First digit is deck number, then 5 or 0, for which side

Do they stream the music for the fireworks on the TV like at Contempory so you can watch from your room? Thanks!
