Where do you feel the most movement onboard?

The higher up you are the more movement you will feel. Dending on the seas the further forward/aft you are could increase movement felt. If the waves are on the ships beam then forward/aft won't make a difference.

 

Generally speaking - being in the middle, lower deck makes a small difference. Even the 'small' 70,000 GRT cruise ships of today handle the seas very well and due to the size of the ship there is not that much difference regardless of where you are on the ship.

I can speak of this on the magic cause we have stayed in both 12th deck spa rooms and cove balcony. First cruise on this boat we stayed up in the spa. The boat rocked and had a vibration when at sea in the end we actually had fun with it judging big wave on the richter scale.... (we have been in a 6.7 and 6.0 earthquake and hundreds of smaller ones). The spa rooms are of course stern and up high. The cove balcony room we had was mid ship and had no movement that we could notice.

The spa rooms are NOT in the stern. They are on the bow - all the way forward.

Meant forward on the spa rooms.

arush have you stayed in any of these rooms on this boat before?

 

I have been in a spa room on the Magic but have not slept in it. I did, however, sleep 1 deck below the spa rooms 2 doors down from the 4js. I have had rooms all over the ships.

If ship movement is important, here's some thoughts:

 

Be thinking a double fulcrum and the dynamics from the ocean, will dictate felt-movement.

The safesest position fo comfort would be low-center.

The newer ship the better....Avoid those that don't have stabilizers and the more narrow styles.

 

Also, The Atlantic, from our north eastern coast gets choppy after August.

We have been on six Carnival ships staying on the Riviera, Empress and most of the time on the Panorama Deck. We never noticed any more movement on one over the other.

 

The only ship we noticed any movement on was the Dream and it was more of a rocking side to side movement.

 

When I see postings that ask about ships movement my first thought is always that you more than likely won't be in your cabin most of the time anyway. We spend most of our time either at shows in the front of the ship or the casino or the Lido deck.
