Extended Verandah location and sea sickness

[cmeyer115]

I've narrowed down room choice to a 5E or 4A Family Verandah. I'm leaning heavily towards the 4A for the midship location after getting sea sick in stateroom 10022 forward last year. Anyone with aft experience that could help me decide.

We did a 5E last April on the Fantasy. We didn't experience any sickness due to location. We did feel some vibration the mornings we were docking, but it wasn't too bad. We would absolutely stay in a 5E again. We loved the extended veranda. There was hardly any traffic in the hallways so it was quiet too.

Here and elsewhere, a lot of people try to correlate the location of their room with seasickness. If, in theory, you will feel less movement mid-ship/lower, the variation between different spots will not be that great and will vary based on the size, frequency and direction of the waves. Add to the mix the fact that specific movement (up/down, left/right, slow, fast) will affect everyone differently and that you spend your time all over the ship and not just camped in your stateroom.

My advice is to chose your stateroom based on other considerations, like noise from the hallway or the deck above, closeness to Cabanas or the stairs, etc. If you hit a patch of rough seas, you'll feel it anyway.

We did the EBTA in a concierge aft room. We felt that we could feel the 20-30 foot swells that we were having more in our room than when we were in the midship location... honestly, with those types of swells, i think you would feel it anywhere in the ship!
I did not like aft (this was our first time) as it is really loud when docking, really loud, but it was close to Cabanas.
