Aft or bow cabins?

[canadian cruisehounds]

We are planning a cruise to the Med in 2009 and are debating between a Sunset Verandah cabin either on the back or front of the ship. Just wondering if anyone who's had a bow cabin can comment on the wind while under sail?

Thanks

We have been in a front and a back suite several times. There is no doubt that the wind and the noise in the front is bothersome but the views coming into ports are beautiful. The back is much calmer and the view of the wake as well as the scenery is fabulous. It is really a matter of preference and for us it's the back over the front.:)

Thanks for the advice. We have had cabins in the aft of the ship before and love the view of the wake. I was concerned about the wind from the front and you have confirmed that for me. Hopefully booking today. There aren't many Sunset Vs left!

Good choice (IMHO)

Has any done a transatlantic from Fl to Barcelonia, then Barcelonia to Rome? Looking at deck seven. Any suggestion ?
