NCL Sky and the sea

[familyfun4]

As this is our first cruise and afraid of sea sickness which I know I am prone to, I wanted a mid ship ocean view cabin on a low deck. Our kids 21 and 16 are also coming and I wanted connecting rooms. The NCL rep suggested the Viking deck (8) in cabins 8018/8019 which are further forward on the ship, but he thought I'd be fine motion wise, so I booked those.

 

I am wondering if I should rebook to mid ship and forgo connecting cabins, just book the kids next to us because I am that worried about getting sick. We will be taking Bonine before we cruise.

 

How is the weather late April? Is the caribbean usually calm?

 

Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The NCL Sky is a fairly small ship and that makes it prone to movement, the Caribbean is usually pretty smooth, but weather is unpredictable. You should go to your NCL forum to ask a ship specific question. happy cruising

You will feel any motion anywhere on the ship....with bonine, you'll be fine. While the lower, midship decks will experience the least movement (think of a see-saw..the middle moves the least)...the entire ship is floating on the ocean...ALL of it moves! You'll be fine.

Mid ship is better.

 

Given the age of the kids I don't see where a connecting cabin would be necessary.

 

I would rebook.

Thank you all for your helpful information. I think I am going to rebook mid ship for peace of mind and connecting cabins really is not that important.

We were all the way forward on the Sky (up near the kid's club) and DW didn't have any trouble with the motion (I was on a flat bottomed LST in the Navy so motion doesn't bother me much).
