Silver Whisper - Verandah Cabin

[Captain Noodles]

Hi everyone, does anyone have any cabin recommendations for the Silver Whisper ? Any cabins to avoid ?

 

It will probably be a V1 Verandha that we book but am a little concerned that we might feel the movement in the water a bit more since most of these cabins appear to be at the front of the boat. Would we be better going for a mid ship cabin instead ?

 

Not really sure what to expect as this will be the first cruise for myself and my wife. Looking at a Caribbean itinerary leaving from Ft Lauderdale at the end of Oct 2018.

 

Thanks.

Congratulations on planning your first cruise! I'll never forget the first cruise my wife and I took. On the 2nd day, we looked at each other at lunch and said why did we wait 20-years to take our first cruise?

 

To answer your question, yes, you will feel more movement the closer you are to the bow or the stern of a ship. Take a pencil or pen and with two fingers hold it in the middle and rotate it forward and backward. This will give you a visual cue of how much more the bow or stern move in relation to the middle.

 

Have fun planning your voyage!

If you are sensitive to either anchor noise or movement. Midship and low are your best options. Enjoy!

Consider a Terrace Suite with a shared Veranda. They are midship and on deck 5.

I wouldn't worry about it too much:)

Cruise ships try to avoid anything that fits into the "Oooh Nasty" category.

She won't pitch that much and with her length it will be barely noticeable.

Any movement is usually slow and gentle. Soothing has been used in some cases.

October is outside of the TRS season ... normally:eek:

Wind? The below offers a more practical reasoning, with thanks to Michael Green.
