First Time Cruiser Questions

[GoSeminoles!]

Hey Everybody!
We are going to book our first cruise today (3 day on the Wonder). I am so excited and could not resist the FL resident rates . I have a few questions if you guys could help me out?
For a small difference in $ what category would you choose 4 or 5 or does it not really matter?
Also we are a family that tends to get motion sickness what is, in your opinion, the best part of the ship for weak stomachs?
My kids are 5 and 10, I was wondering if you all think they will be to tired to go to dinner at the late seating?
Thanks in advance!
Oh I almost forgot, we are Floridians, are we going to freeze in January or February?

If money is not an issue, a 4! You get an extra 30 plus square feet, which is substantial when you're in a small space.

Also we are a family that tends to get motion sickness what is, in your opinion, the best part of the ship for weak stomachs?

I, personally, like deck 2 for lack of queasiness. But a cat 4 will be on deck 8 (I think). Only cat 9s and higher are on deck 2.

My kids are 5 and 10, I was wondering if you all think they will be to tired to go to dinner at the late seating?

When do they normally eat and go to sleep? Mine are only 1 and 4, and late seating almost killed them (and us). Sitting down to eat at their normal nedtime -- for a 1 plus hour meal -- was just too much. But you know your kids best. Others here love late seating with kids.

And no, you won't freeze in January, but you might in February. Definitely bring long pants for evenings and sweaters/light jackets. My daughter was chilly in some places on our September cruise, and I know she'll freeze if we do a 3 day with those rates (that, by the way, make me drool).
