Spa stateroom and motion sickness

My wife and I will be taking our first cruise onboard the Dream in December. I happen to have a sworn enemy in motion sickness to the extent that I have to drive no matter where we go and I don't do any rides at a theme park. How much does a person feel the ship's motion in a spa stateroom? We have an interior room but my wife is still worried it'll be too much.

 

Thanks for your advice!

You do indeed feel the motion. We stayed in an oceanview spa cabin on the Dream (quite literally - all the way forward) and there was definitely motion there.

 

That being said, I find the motion at the front of the ship easier to take than the motion experienced aft. On DCL's 2 older ships, the accessible balconies are all the aft facing (all the way) cabins and I get very bad motion sickness when we stay in one of those (it's a steady stream of gravol when we sail aft). Forward, I just need to take sea sick pills once or twice on the trip when the ship is sailing fast.
