Directions...When you are here!
The Queen Mary can be confusing for you land lovers out there...do you know the difference between Port and Starboard? Here's a good way to remember - Starboard contains two letter "R"s, compared to only one in port; therefore, starboard refers to the right side and Port and left both contain four letters...therefore, port refers to the left side.
