woodworker&knitter Posted February 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2010 We always book Main Deck. Last August 3 of us were on the Volendam on Dolphin deck and even though we hit a bit of rough seas, actually at times the waves cover the window, it was good. We had no problem sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyk47 Posted February 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Notionally it's always better to be low and center if there are rough seas. Quite frankly we don't get seasick easily so we don't pay much attention to being low in the ship. We do like a central location but that's more for getting around than to avoid motion. Unless you hide out in your cabin it's kind of hard to avoid the higher decks as that's where most of the venues like dining, bars, entertainment, etc., are located.

Himself Posted February 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think the higher up you go on a ship, the more you will feel the motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted February 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Mid-ship on Dolphin Deck is a good location if you run into rough seas. As a matter of fact, at least all the way up to Upper Promenade is still fairly smooth at mid-ship in rough seas. I've spent a lot of time in the Piano Bar, and just outside in the daytime, during rough seas, and have found it quite comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's just a typo, but I've gotta comment: Does "notionally" mean it's all in your head? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyk47 Posted February 15, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Probably. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
