Aft room for seasickness?

[NCConch]

The modern meds for seasickness are great and better used as a preventative rather than a cure. If the ship was simply teetering like a teeter-totter, mid-ship would receive the least amount of motion. With this in mind, mid-ship, inside room on the lowest deck would be best - but worst view. If you want the view and the veranda, go for it - and take your meds.

Are rooms mid ship more prone to movement? I am on deck ten midship.

We just had a aft room and it was great, but don't get one of the dead center rooms. It did pivot back and for the whole time.

Not up and down, but back and forth.

Not that big of a deal, but if your unsure, just get the next room over!

Rooms nearest midship and on the lowest decks have the least motion. Again, a more complete discussion is provided here: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=47077663&postcount=6

The ship docks in Cozumel. I think they are talking about the ferry to the mainland? I have heard the ferry is a very rough ride.

Whew! We aren't going to the mainland, so I should be okay.

I too was concerned about this. After reading the disboards, felt totally confident me and the kids would be ok. I packed some natural seasickness drops? Because it was my first time I didn't want to buy something real expensive. Well.... I don't know if it was the tropical storm we had or if we were in a forward room ( #9010 on the Dream). My 5yo and I woke up soooo sick. My 12 yo was fine. He went to breakfast that day by himself, we couldn't even lift our heads off the pillow. Apparently half the ship was sick but who knows. They gave out free medicine at guest services but told us my youngest couldn't take it. I took it and had no idea how drowsy it would make me. So who knows if it was just too much rocking or we were really prone to seasickness or if it was all due to the room location. But be prepared and take something.
