We are cruising on the VTC (Voyager Through the Canal) in 32 more days. It goes from LA down the coast and through the canal on the way to FLL. I usually think it does not matter what side I am on. But Ngaire pointed out that as we traveled down the coast, the port side would have a few of the land while the starboard side would be facing out to sea. So the itinerary could have a big influence on which side was "better".
