Rileyroo Posted July 3 #1 Share Posted July 3 Looking at a cruise on World Traveller, but the only veranda cabins available are at the front of the ship. Is that a bad idea? We’ve done a few Windstar cruises, so we’re familiar with smaller ship cruising, but we’ve never been that far to the front. Thanks so much.

I would never book a cabin in the front of the ship for itineraries that include the Arctic, North Sea, Antarctica or other areas that often have heavy seas or if I was especially prone to seasickness. Where are you sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyroo Posted July 3 Author #3 Share Posted July 3 Thanks for the feedback. It's funny cause I thought about your exact point, but only after I had posted the original question. Yeah, it's no Drake Passage or anything, just a Med itinerary. However I will say, oddly enough, that the most rockin' and rollin' experience I've ever had on a cruise was on Azamara from Malta, which is where this cruise leaves from. Obviously, situations and personal comfort levels vary greatly, so I know this is highly subjective, but I was mostly curious whether even on the most calm of days, there's still going to be a fair amount of movement just given the ship position.

ukpylot Posted July 4 #4 Share Posted July 4 We’re staying in the very most forward cabin for Antarctica in December, so can let you know then! I know it’s almost certainly the worst place if you don’t like the rocking and rolling but I figure someone has to take it. With such a small ship I figure there’s not a whole lot of difference between front and back but I shall return in January and let you know how wrong I was.

Even a small seesaw is very different at the small person's end (and those big honking engines at the aft mean that your front cabin is the small person)...

Twiga Posted July 7 #6 Share Posted July 7 We were on the Navigator May 7-16, 2024, from Lisbon to London. The ship was almost motionless, it felt so smooth! It didn't matter where we were onboard. I never felt any motion. I thought a smaller ship would have more movement, so I was surprised that the opposite was true. Atlas is our new favorite cruise line!
