ilovhywd Posted April 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Need to make decision today. Is there shuddering or vibration in the aft of the ship? Or is there a lot of up-and-down motion in the forward cabins? Which would you choose if mid-ship is unavailable? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted April 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It really depends on how rough or smooth the seas are, but you knew that. If you are sensitive to the motion then pick mid-ship, as low as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockymountainsparky Posted April 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd go aft. That way you are closer to the AO pool and the Horizon Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfv379 Posted April 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We were in D202, forward, on the Crown, no motion for us:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dforeigner Posted April 22, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2010 If my only options were aft or forward, I would go aft. Less motion than up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxedout2 Posted April 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Howdy. Forward or aft. Of your two choices, for us, aft. Not much pitch/roll because these ships are stabilized with 16' trim 'wings' that extend when cruising. We just finished a cruise in aft cabin B-749. Some slight vibration, probably from cavitation or shafts/props. Not bad enough to be a deal breaker. In any case, I like being close to an elevator! If you are close to aft elevators, you are only steps-off-the-elevator from most food, Explorer's Lounge and Club Fusion. Adagio and aft adult pool area, very nice view! Pizza, Ice Cream Bar, IC, MDR and DVDR are closer to center elevator stack. If walking is an issue AFT would be best IMHO. ...because the Theatre is the only reason we had to go forward. No Spa, No Santuary, No stinking workouts...no other reason to ever go forward. BTW, we used aft elevator to Promenade Deck, then walked forward to theater 3 times... the rest of the time we were aft/mid. So, for us AFT is IT.

ilovhywd Posted April 22, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Somehow I knew that I would receive conflicting opinions! Thanks everyone for replying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted April 22, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Aft is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal Posted April 22, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd take aft without even a question--works for me !! Forward would never work as far as I'm concerned Have a good cruise and let know what you choose Nancy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted April 22, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2010 For me it doesn't matter where the cabin is since motion doesn't bother me nor do vibrations. But any vibration or noise bothers the DH. The only time we ever really noticed any was when the ship was leaving port while in the dining room (Botticelli which is aft). Then the water glasses would start vibrating and you could feel some shaking. But that ended as soon as we were sailing out in open sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably felt vibes from the Thrusters pushing away from the dock after all lines were in.. Botticelli is just above the Mooring Deck. Remember, the Mooring Deck has a half dozen huge electric windlass' for retrieving the dock lines and spring lines. The activity around that time is choreographed by the bridge with a lot of this equipment running at the same time. As you said,"But that ended as soon as we were sailing out in open sea."

jrzebird Posted April 23, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I would also chose aft. Forward seems to have a lot of creaking and banging I never hear aft. I think, with one exception, the opinion seems to be aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
