Picking a statement

[WINTER]

Does it matter regarding motion sickness if you are on deck 7 or deck 9?

Relative to the middle of the ship, the lower the less movement (relative to the size of the waves). So midship deck 2 would have the least amount of movement.

Between Decks 7 and 9 I don't think would have a lot of difference. More important with those higher decks is which one has the more midship availability?

We were midship on Deck 9 and did not feel a thing. It was perfect.

compared to each other there will not be a lot of difference. Compared to deck 2, there IS a difference in the distance of the motion of the ocean.

For example balance a pencil on its eraser (so it doesn't slip as much) on a desk. Think of the where the eraser meets the desk as the waterline of the ship - in the center of the width of the ship. Now move the tip of the pencil to the right and left and see how much more distance (movement) happens at the tip vs down near the eraser.

Remember that the Dream / Fantasy are about only 140 feet wide, but they are about 1,100 feet long - so forward and aft are a lot farther from the center of the ship and that means even more movement in those locations. But don't worry about "violent" movement except under extreme circumstances (ie hurricane). The ship is a long slow moving teeter totter with technology to help minimize the rocking and rolling motions of the ship at sea.

Bring your motion sickness tablets and don't stress. Have a wonderful cruise.

I didn't feel difference between 10 and 11, but I definitely felt it more on 2 and 3. I'm glad we took our travel agent's advice on midship and up high. We're doing midship 9 next time to get away from the sound of people dragging deck chairs around.
