We have been midship 6634 and far aft 8092 on the Wonder. As the PP stated, the midship room will have less movement. You will also be guaranteed a plexiglass verandah wall. We loved being far aft, however. It was very quiet. Also consider that since you are on a classic ship, you would be right next to the 'secret' deck 7 aft deck. There is also a chance that you would get a whitewall verandah - look on the deck plans - if the stateroom number they are offering to you has a star, it will have a solid wall verandah. This is a white metal wall that goes all the way up.
