This is all very interesting. I too don't tend to get seasick, but my partner can - it was definitely a tradeoff between the balcony 4 decks higher and slightly forward, vs the ocean view on deck one slightly aft. For a TA I wouldn't have thought twice about the higher slightly forward one, as we've done several and been fine. But for the TP, I settled on safe. I do the ginger thing as well (tend to grab ginger from the sushi bar!) but will now travel with BOTH types of seasickness meds for the TP just in case! Love this whole conversation - I learned something!

@MCC retiredI mentioned previously that I had it on hold before I asked - of course! I have released it though and went for a deck 1 ocean view. It's our first TP and I want as much stability as possible.

Thanks so much for the comment. Was the orientation an issue - did the room feel comfortable to sit in as well as sleep in and navigate? Oops - sorry. Just looked at your cabin 5108- that was a standard orientation.

Ah, yes - I have it held! I'm trying to figure out whether it will feel cramped in the cabin given the layout. These days I book my cabins with a "what happens if I get covid and am confined...." mindset. (Mind you, I am a "no-vid" so far...still masking in crowds.) I want to be a bit midship and lower down given the Transpacific seas, and most of the more affordable insides and balconies still available are much farther forward or aft. This looked potentially like a find! Any other insights would be welcome. Thanks again!

Hi Cunard Cruisers! I know the QA is a new ship so noone has actually sailed it yet, but I have never cruised Cunard and don't have a good sense of the cabin layouts. I am looking at cabin 5060 on Cunard's deck plan - it looks to be a different orientation but about the same size, with a deeper balcony that is mostly shaded by the deck above (which is a cabin, not public space, at least that's my read.) Any insights around how this might be different? The itinerary is transpacific SFO to Auckland (though we may book the longer stint starting in NYC). Thanks! -Ruth
