We always book Main Deck. Last August 3 of us were on the Volendam on Dolphin deck and even though we hit a bit of rough seas, actually at times the waves cover the window, it was good. We had no problem sleeping

Notionally it's always better to be low and center if there are rough seas. Quite frankly we don't get seasick easily so we don't pay much attention to being low in the ship. We do like a central location but that's more for getting around than to avoid motion. Unless you hide out in your cabin it's kind of hard to avoid the higher decks as that's where most of the venues like dining, bars, entertainment, etc., are located.

I think the higher up you go on a ship, the more you will feel the motion.

Mid-ship on Dolphin Deck is a good location if you run into rough seas. As a matter of fact, at least all the way up to Upper Promenade is still fairly smooth at mid-ship in rough seas.

I've spent a lot of time in the Piano Bar, and just outside in the daytime, during rough seas, and have found it quite comfortable.

I know it's just a typo, but I've gotta comment: Does "notionally" mean it's all in your head? :D

Probably. :-)
