HELLO,
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SAILING ON MS. ZUIDERDAM DURING SPRING BREAK WE ARE BOOKED IN A CABIN IN THE VERY FRONT OF THE SHIP ( AN OUTSIDE CABIN) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FEELING ALL THE MOTION ON THE FRONT OF THE SHIP. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY INPUT ON THIS? AND IF YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON THE THUMBS UP AND THUMBS DOWN ON THE EXCURSIONS.
THANKS!
EXCITED CRUISER!!!

Being at the very front of the ship you will feel more effects of the ship pitching if seas get turbulent. We were far forward one time and it was fine. Seas weren't all that bad so what we felt was not disturbing.

It really all depends on your tolerance/resistance to motion discomfort. I'd suggest you take some meclezine (brand name is Bonine) with you for just in case.
