Zuiderdam Cabins 5024 or 5025

Hi...Just booked these two cabins for 2012 Alaska Inside Passage. Still time to change to another VC cabin location on Deck 5. Just wondered if anyone has stayed in either one of these. We're 4 adults and one has slight sea sickness issues, so I wondered if closer to the aft would be better than the bow? Also, Deck 5 midship (VE category) overlooks the lifeboats...is this a problem in any way. Thanks:)

This picture was taken from a mid-ship glass elevator while it was stopped at deck 5. You can see that when you are seated on the veranda you won't even be able to see the lifeboats, and when you are standing at the railing they are only an obstruction if you want to see something very close to the ship.

Thanks John..."a picture is worth a thousand words". You cleared that issue up for me.

Midship location is the best for those with a tendency to get seasick. Also, the lower the deck the better for those who get seasick.
