Port Out Starboard Home or P.O.S.H for short is a derivation of the recommended side of the ship upon which to travel if sailing to and from America. The Port side is the left side and typically is moored "to port" when the ship is in dock. It offers the best views when pulling into the harbour in New York.
Similarly, with the ship facing the other way, the right hand side or "Starboard" side of the ship affords the better vistas on the way back to the UK. If you had thought this out, you were obviously a regular cruiser and therefore had some money. These were the POSH elite.
