Balcony Cabin......forward or aft?

[teacher2cruiser]

First timer here.........trying to choose a cabin

What's better, when given the choice? Or is Middle better? Is one side better than the other?

We're about to book with RC - Grandeur of the Seas out of New Orleans for March.

Thanks.

If you are prone to motion sickness middle of the ship is better. If you don't have those worries then I prefer more towards aft as forward IMO you feel the ship cutting through the water more especially in rougher seas. The side of the ship really doesn't matter as in different ports they will park in different directions and even this could vary from sailing to sailing.
