Is it better to have a cabin at the front or back of a cruise ship?

If you suffer from motion sickness, or are a first-time cruiser and want to play it safe; it is not recommended you sail in a stateroom in the forward section of the ship. The most desirable location is a mid-ship stateroom, or if not available, a stateroom towards the back (aft) of the ship.

Is it better to be midship or aft?

As with most ships, the higher decks only have balcony cabins midship. Likewise, you can’t get a balcony room too low on the ship. Midship rooms, lower on the ship, are theoretically the best for minimizing motion. After that, I would say aft is better than forward, but that is my personal opinion.

What is the best room on a cruise ship for motion sickness?

To reduce motion sickness, choose a stateroom in the middle of the ship on a lower deck. You will feel any sway of the ship less in this section. Although it may seem counterintuitive, if you’re worried about seasickness on a cruise, book a stateroom with a window or a veranda.

Is an aft cabin worth it?

The view from an aft balcony is of the ship’s wake; the view from side balconies is better for viewing the port (and late-returning pier runners). Aft cabins can feel more movement from the ship’s thrusters; this is true whether your balcony looks aft or faces to the side at the back end of the ship.
