Are the accessible cabins ok for someone prone to motion sickness?

It seems most are towards the front of the ship.

This would be for a first time cruiser who has sight issues

Thanks

Motion is less if you are near middle and at a lower floor.  Stayed in a cabin that was very far forward many years ago.  We could tell.

I am very susceptible to motion sickness and I have found the front of the ship the worst place to be in bad weather.  I feel the motion quite a bit more there than very far aft (although aft is quite a bit worse than mid-ship).  That said, I have sailed close to the front on a number of occasions and managed to control any issues with meds, ginger pills, and motion wrist bands.  But it is not ideal.

I’m not sure that the accessible cabins are designed for people with impaired sight.  I may be wrong, but they are larger in size for wheelchairs to maneuver and have safety grab bars in the bathroom.

Ron Paula is correct. The accessible  staterooms were designed for pax with mobility disabilities. There is nothing in them aimed to assist those with visual impairments. There is braille signage in public areas and elevators. PreCovid at least, the daily newsletter was available in braille, and large font menus in the dining venues.

 

OP, exactly what type of accommodations does your friend need?

If you are susceptible to sea-sickness or motion-sickness, the best cabins to shoot for would be middle of the ship, lower deck.  The higher you go, the more "movement", and forward or aft, the same.
