Movement in the front of the ship and sideways stateroom?

[jmb910]

I apologize if these are duplicate questions but when I did a search it didn't give me quite what I was looking for...

We have always had aft staterooms, but are booked in a forward sideways stateroom on the Dream next year.

Can anyone tell me good/bad things about a sideways room?
What is the movement like in the front of the ship? Better or worse than being in the back? We are on deck 7.

Thank you!
