Is that a Pol Acker which I see before me?:D
That's what I thought Malcolm.
Don't they have drains in them little cabins? :D

I've twice been on a ship at the rear with a balcony, and suffered from the vibration of the pods that these modern ships use. Also, I don't like the way the balcony is overlooked.
I've been in the very front suites of the Queen Elizabeth 2 - just behind the bridge - and whilst they do move (as we found out in a force 10 in the North Atlantic) the forward view is wonderful.
Of course the best bit about the Queen Elizabeth 2 and her (very few) balconies is that if you are on the top deck, they are completely private, with no-one overlooking you at all.
The bow takes the pounding from the waves, and of course the anchors are there. The aft has the vibration from the shafts (on a real ship) or the pods (on one of these new things).
High up forward is my preference. Midships lower down would be acceptable.
But then I like a good storm!
