Thanks to both " Zimmys" ..😊very good info to have...and feel great about it. I appreciate the input!

Thank you so much...that is most helpful. I did learn that this cabin is not one that converts to a Commodore suite , so I guess that is good news as well. I was afraid that being that low would make any potential seasickness worse, but I believe the opposite might be true. Hopefully. Appreciate your thoughts. And thank you , we will.🙂

So I am new to this site , new to this forum, and new to SD. However, I am not new to cruising. My cruising " career" began when i was barely a teenager aboard the old NCL ship , the USS Norway. Such a beautiful ship, ( ship , not " floating city" ) very classic , refined, and very " ship-like". The food was good, the passengers generally well behaved, and the crew personable. I learned a lot about the various islands, knowledge which has helped me over the years plan wonderful land -based vacations to islands I had grown to love , and avoid the ones I didn't. Years later , I wanted the same for my own kids. Thus we have experienced all the various " Of The Seas" that exist , we have watched " ships" get larger and larger , our deck choice higher and higher, the service become less personal and the behavior of many passengers, especially when it coming to dining , worsen .I do not do herd mentality well , especially when it comes to eating.lol Nevertheless, my kids have learned a great deal about the various islands and an appreciation of the sea, although I sometimes wondered if they even realized we were on a boat. However, they had a great time and claimed to learn a lot, so I guess those trips served their purpose. However, that purpose has been fulfilled .My DH and I have a very different purpose now and the SeaDream experience seems to fit the bill. We are super excited to be going on our first voyage in a few months( on SD2) and I cant wait to once again experience the feeling of being aboard an actual ship, especially one with great service and a classic, yet playful, vibe. Having said that, I have recently learned that our cabin is on the lowest deck( 2) and that it is one of the two closest to the dining room ( either 201 or 202). While I know that this dining experience will not be anything like our more recent ones, is it ok to be that close to the main dining area? I am not familiar with the ship so I don't know if deck 2 is too low?? I can get a bit claustrophobic🤪and while I always love being in the center of the action, I don't necessarily want the action right outside my cabin every night. or will that even be the case? Thought all you experts might give me some thoughts on this....if I need to request a room change , I guess I had better get busy. I am so hoping that wont be necessary? Thanks a bunch!
