Malt Shop Cruise 2019

Hi..Has anyone had a cabin on the 8th deck on the Eurodam/Malt Shop Cruise? We reserved a cabin on that deck  for the 202 cruise and I am wondering if anyone who had one there felt seasick. They say the higher up you go the more likely you will feel it. Thanks

I have stayed in  cabins  on the 8th deck.  In fact this is our desired location....no problems with motion.  This may be different on a transatlantic cruise.  Cabins directly  under the pools may have a bit  noise.  Under the spa or under the lido restaurant are usually quiet.

As someone who is very prone to seasickness, I can tell you that lower in the ship is definitely better. If the ship is rolling (which we've had on trans-Atlantic and Canadian  voyages), the motion in the Crow's Nest is much greater than the Lower Promenade deck or lower. Good luck!

Didn't have any trouble with motion on the 8th deck - just make sure you're under the carpeted areas of deck 9 so you don't have table/chair scraping.

I have to add that I had over 30 ship days with absolutely no symptoms before becoming seasick to the point of having to use a wheelchair from the MDR one dinner. I think everyone has some degree of tolerance to a ship's motion, but if you think you'll be bothered, get a cabin that's lower and centered front to back. We always do, if only because they're OV, and we're budget travelers.

Hi, I am also booked on Malt Shop 2020... I have stayed on 8th deck many times with no issue.  I think you will be fine.  See you onboard!   Maryjo
