rosarodriguez Posted January 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Our cabin #2224 on carnival magic on the main deck. We usually stay closer to the aft of the ship and was wondering if you could feel the boat more at the front of the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusnbee Posted January 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think it is subjective. I can't have any aft rooms as i always get motion sickness. I have no issues with forward rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinqt Posted January 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We were on the Magics sister ship the Dream last year. We couldn't pass up a great deal on deck 12 with the spa across the hallway from our cabin. But it was very far forward and up high. I worried about feeling movement being so high up and forward but we hardly noticed a thing. I think it's because of the size of these ships. The are so huge and heavy that they don't really rock much at all. A smaller ship might be a different story but the Dream class ships are massive. If you're looking at a great deal that's forward I would say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted January 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2014 They do feel motion, but it is more of a soothing consistent motion to me. I love those porthole rooms! I don't really like the aft cabins as much. It seems to have more inconsistent noises and odd motions/rattles. In the porthole rooms, I can hear the sound of the waves hitting the front of the ship, which I also found to be a very soothing noise. The only exceptions is when coming into or leaving port (when I'm not wanting to sleep anyway), when there will be some inconsistent noises in the front. I much prefer being forward to the aft.

Topo Gigio Posted January 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I don't feel any more motion in the front then in he back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted January 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2014 We have had forward cabins on our 3 cruises on the Magic up on decks 11 and 12. We never had any issues with motion. Just had an aft facing suite on the Caribbean Princess on their deck 12 and it was like an amusement park ride back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancerOT Posted January 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2014 One thing to keep in mind that anyone who gets motion sickness gets it differently and it is important to know what affects you. I cannot have a cabin in the front of the ship as the up/down motion there greatly impacts me. However, the back of the cabin with its more side to side motion is not nearly as bad. I always try to get a cabin in the middle of the ship as that impacts me the least. So I would know your body and know what your triggers are. Enjoy your cruise!

MichelleChell Posted January 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Motion doesn't usually bother me but on Magic I felt it more in the aft then anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christmas Posted January 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Out of all the ships I have been on Magic has the WORST motion I have seen. That is why I ALWAYS book mid ship on Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightlockkk Posted January 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just got off the Magic. I found that the AFT had waaaay more movement than the front. I had a midship room, something I'd never had before because I prefer the front but I didn't notice a difference in front and midship. Just stay away from the back UGH, it was awful. Never felt so much as I did on Magic haha. Still had a great trip though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgunn1978 Posted January 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think it is subjective. I can't have any aft rooms as i always get motion sickness. I have no issues with forward rooms. I agree with you. We had a mid ship cabin on our first cruise, ...no issues. We had a cabin on deck 6, very front of ship on Magic. There was some movement, but not bad. Last week, we had a cabin in the very back on Triumph on deck 8, and I was nauseous every day. I never threw up, but I wore my Sea Bands and put drops behind my ears. I won't ever book an aft cabin again. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtaco Posted January 15, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think it is subjective. I can't have any aft rooms as i always get motion sickness. I have no issues with forward rooms. I think this is correct:) You can get motion sickness anywhere on a ship and at any time. If the sea is high and rough it makes no difference where you are its a modern cruise ship built for passenger comfort and if its rough enough to get sick then you might. I always say that if high and forward is the worst place as most profess and low midship is the best place as most profess then why do all those paying the most money for Suites get the worst spot on the ship almost every time:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemsm Posted January 15, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I get seasick no matter where my cabin is so I have gotten to the point I don't care where my cabin is as long as it is affordable - LOL.
