My biggest issue with forward-facing rooms (I haven't been in one on
DCL but I'm assuming it's the same restrictions) is that you can't have the curtains open at night because any light could be distracting to the bridge. As someone who likes to leave her ship curtains open - or at least just at sheers - I was not a fan. I loved the rest of my forward facing room though - especially when we had some rough water. I LOVE the motion!!
