tampadee Posted April 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I need to chose a forward facing or aft facing suite on the Jade. Will it be too bouncy for a forward facing cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow34 Posted April 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I had pondered this too, I actually opted for a mid-ship balcony club, as this will be my first cruise... I wanted stability. The aft has vibration from what I have heard and fore has bouncing. Pick your poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 9 have the large, 100 sq ft balconies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsnotjustme Posted April 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Vertical motion (bouncing) will be most pronounced at the front AND back of the ship. Since the ship does not bend (appreciably), picture a rod going horizontally through the middle of the ship near the water line and the ship rotating about the rod - when the bow goes up, the stern goes down. While forward facing balconies are forward, they are less forward than many of the lower deck interior or ocean view cabins. Side-to-side motion (rocking) will be most pronounced on upper decks. This would be rotation about a rod from bow to stern. The upper decks move much further than lower decks. Forward facing can have a lot of wind, particularly while underway. Will you be cruising in an area more subject to rough seas, like the North Atlantic, or are you inside the Mediterranean where high seas are less common?

roger001 Posted April 26, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Deck ten rear. They are the best for us. Bigger balcony and aft facing view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily by the same amount, though. If the ship’s center of mass (i.e., the fulcrum for your oscillating rod) is directly at the midpoint, then the bow and stern go up and down the same distance. However, due to the usual mass distribution, placement of engines toward the stern of the ship appears to be a primary factor, it is likely that the up-down motion is greater at the bow than the stern. Definitely possible to have a number of variations - same displacement, bow displaces more, or stern displaces more - based on ship design.

tampadee Posted April 27, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Thanks for everyone's view! I decided to go with the aft facing suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
