Unfortunately, everything the guide talked about was on the starboard side. Even though we were early in the line, we didn't know that and sat on the wrong side. It fills up very very fast and we almost didn't get to sit together. There were four of us. Many seats on both levels have no view at all. The boat turns around, so we got to see things on the way back, but that was well after the commentary about them. When we went aboard, it seemed that most people knew which side to sit on. They grabbed the good seats immediately. We were from out of state and had no idea. Guess we'll ask the ticket taker next time. Being on the wrong side or in the middle and not being able to see what the guide was talking about really was bad as we took this cruise to get the historic side.
