Hello.
This is going to be our first cruise. We will sail from Tromso to Svalbard in Silver Wind this summer.
Thanks for all kind replies on my previous questions. We decided to persue our plan to Svalbard instead of other options. Although, I was shortly tempted to change to Silver Endeavour next year as the ship looks so beautiful. But we will stick to the plan.
When we booked, I chose 524. Because, I tend to seasick. I have never been on cruise. But I learnt that I did seasick on a boat excusion in the South Pacific many years ago. The sea was very rough.... Since then, I always take medication when I'm on a boat just in case.
Now, we are thinking perhaps higher deck might be better and more interesting, for example it might have better view.
We presume that the the Arctic Ocean in summer should be calm (hopefully). Hence, we are thinking whether we might change to deck 6.
But available cabin is up front which is 606 which I think it might be bit too front.
I see that now the same cabin type on deck 7 is sold out. It appears that higher deck is more popular than lower deck.
So my questions are,
does deck 6 offer better view than deck 5?
is there advantage of front cabin on deck 6 or so?
changing to front cabin on deck 6 from midship cabin on deck 5 is good idea for this cruise?
Having read https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/1009479-advice-on-choosing-a-cabin-on-silver-wind/
I understand that an advange 524 which is perhaps one of the best location in terms of avoiding seasick. (Please correct me if I misunderstood.) But I'm not sure if there is any other advantage.
Also, I understand that in case of cabins in the front, there could be bit noise from the anchor.
I hope I can hear some advices on cabin selection on Arctic Circle cruise.
I highlighed yellow for deck 5 which we have at present, and green for deck 6 which we are interested in chaning to.
Thank you.
