Rough seas and high expectations??

[GaDisneyFan]

Hello everyone! I have a question for you seasoned cruise travelers out there...What is considered a "normal" amount of rocking and rolling on a cruise for you? The reason that I ask this question is that my family took a 7 night cruise to E. Carribbean on the Magic in Nov. 2004 that was the first cruise for all of us..and by all accounts I would consider the seas to be pretty rough..most days the seas were in the 10-12 ft range and a few days the seas were in the 18-20 ft range...From accounts from friends that had cruised before, I got the impression that they hardly felt any movement at all so I was a little surprised with our experience...Don't get me wrong..the cruise was WONDERFUL..no one got sick or anything but I admit to being a little nervous for a day or so..

We are taking another cruise in a couple of weeks so I just thought I would get some imput from my fellow DCL travelers on my experience and if my expectation were too high...Is all of the rock and rolling a normal thing?? Thanks

We were on this years November 25th Eastern and our experience mirrored yours.

Compared to our satiny smooth experience on the Western, it was definitely choppy.

Compared to a ferry on the North Sea in winter - it was a nice day at the beach.
