carlissaandisaacsmommy Posted November 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think everyone has their own opinion on this, but will we feel less motion in our cabin if we are higher up on the ship? We always stay mid ship in a balcony cabin and have normally stayed on floor 8 or 9. But on this next cruise, we can get a balcony cabin on the 11th deck for the same price as deck 9 (or 6).

cb at sea Posted November 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Mid ship, mid deck....think of a see saw..the middle moves the least in relation to the rest of the structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlissaandisaacsmommy Posted November 19, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted November 19, 2014 We noticed A LOT more movement on the Legend this summer than we did on the Dream last fall. Is that because they were different sized boats? Camp Carnival was on deck 5 forward on the Legend and my daughter got sick almost every time she went. I'm hoping that it will be better on the Breeze. Camp Carnival is on deck 11, but is mid ship and looks like it has a lot of windows which I think (hope) will help her.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums It's most likely the wave heights, ocean currents, wind speeds and wind directions were totally different between the 2 voyages.

loxley Posted November 19, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2014 There is no opinion on this. Higher up or either end will have more motion. Put a little boat in a bathtub and make some waves. A child could see which parts move most. If the water is smooth, doesn't really matter where you are. If the water is rough, different story. No way of really knowing before you go. My roughest cruise was in Jan (as in being woken up by being thrown out of bed into the middle of the floor) and I do not want to sail that month again. My sister sails every Jan because all her sailing has been very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The lower the deck and the more central you are the less rocking. Most rocking is on higher decks and rooms towards the front of the ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I think you'll be just fine on deck 11. But I have to agree with everyone who has stated mid deck / mid ship as the ideal location to minimize movement. That's been the best location in my experience. Have a great trip! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted November 19, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The closer to the waterline , the less distance the ship side to side movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
