azmaui Posted June 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm not an experienced cruiser at all, been only on 2 cruises before on other lines. I think vista is beautiful and I'm enjoying the cruise but I am really surprised how much I can feel the ship move. Even staying on deck 9 I feel vibrations and movement. And eating dinner on deck 3 feel ship rocking. It doesn't bother me much, just a surprise as I didn't feel that on my cruises before (unless we had severe weather conditions).

fuddrules Posted June 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I wonder if it had to do with where you stayed at on the ship in the past? I've never stayed anywhere but aft and I thought the vibration was much less than any ship I've been on. Only once, I don't remember the port, where they did a 180 in very tight quarters did the ship vibrate a lot. In 2 ports I didn't know when we docked which was surprising. I do think location plays a fairly substantial role in what you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnyval Posted June 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The higher up on a ship you go, the more motion you feel. We thought Vista was an amazingly smooth riding ship, even when the seas were not the smoothest. The heading of the ship relative to the seas and wind do play a role. YMMV.

Springdale Posted June 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2016 We were on Deck 1 aft on the 5/24 Vista sailing and felt almost no motion throughout. We like being on lower decks for greater stability, less noise, and quick access via stairway to Deck 0 for disembarkment, especially on such a port-intensive cruise. No "mal de debarquement" (that weird dizzy, rocking feeling you sometimes have after a cruise) after our Vista cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Disney Chandler Posted June 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2016 We didn't feel her moving at all except for the last night of the 6/3 cruise. That night there was a little rocking at dinner but that was the only movement at all. We couldn't believe how smooth it was.
