Motion

How much motion do you feel near the font and back of big ships. We will be going on the Dream.

Typically, you'll feel more motion aft and forward from midship. Forward more up and down, aft more vibration.

But, cruise ships are really pretty stable and the "more" can be really marginal.

I haven't felt anything in aft cabins, but did when we had a forward cabin. It wasn't very bad, but I won't be getting another forward cabin because of it.

It's usually the worst the first night crossing the gulf current leaving Port Caneveral. It's usually over between 8 and 9 PM. The side to side rocking doesn't bother me but the tilting from bow to aft gets me a little. It's usually not constant. It's nothing serious enough to bother most and the higher you are, the less you notice. Most notice it the most and dinner or the show the first night because the locations are extreme forward and aft and you're on deck 2 or 3.
