we were very aft in 9668 on dream,, while I didn't mind the walking, I did mind the vibrations! at night sometimes it was hard to get to sleep, it made me feel ill and usually I don't get sea sick!
The aft elevators were easier to get and we were right there at Cabana's and an ez walk to pool deck. We didn't have much hall traffic either which was very nice.
My husband always joked when we got off midship elevators and walked thru the halls that its 100 rooms to go, LOL,, we were very tired of his lame joke by end of cruise!
We have decided to move more midship for our next yr cruise
