Arwenmark Posted February 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2009 You will feel a lot of movement and you will hear some banging that sounds alot like you hit a whale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scchasgal Posted February 9, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We were on deck 6 forward right at the bow and we did not have any motion issues at all. Another time we were on deck 9 forward and it was so rough I couldn't sleep the first night. Bottom line it all depends how rough the seas will be and no one can predict that.

*Wink* Posted February 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2009 You will feel a lot of movement and you will hear some banging that sounds alot like you hit a whale. LOL McCall! Great analogy! OP ~ I've stayed on deck 3 before, it was more midship, however. You do hear the water, but I kinda liked it. My husband was in the Navy, and he would love to be in your cabin. The rockier and louder the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalTraveler Posted February 9, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks, guys. We don't mind some movement, after all, we do want to 'know' we are on a ship! But I can do w/o rock-n-roll-make-u-sick need dramamine x10; And whale collision noises :o, too! Fairly calm seas, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, she's a smaller ship than what you're probably used to. Also, her stabilizers are no longer "cutting edge," so to speak. Because of those two factors, you will probably feel quite a bit more movement that you would on a larger, newer ship. Now, during calm seas, you won't notice a thing, but rarely are seas calm everywhere! I've never needed seasick medicine while on Majesty, but I think I'm going to take a Bonine every evening, starting a few nights before the cruise. Taking it at night will keep the side effects to a minimum since you're asleep. Sounds like you don't mind movement, just not the effects physically.

bklynangel Posted February 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was on deck 7 forward and had no trouble, the movement put me to sleep at night. This was my first time forward and it's not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlady461 Posted February 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2009 We were in cabin 440 for a repo froim Philadelphia to Charleston(Nov 2008). We had a few times when we could feel movement but most of the time it was smooth sailing(unlike our cruise in May last year on the Dawn to Bermuda that was a rock n' rolling cruise).

RoyalTraveler Posted February 10, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks to everyone who replied here. We experienced one night of really rough water on a western caribbean cruise once. With bonine & ginger, we didn't get sick but the crew was handing out barf bags in the hallways & laying extras on the stairs & in elevators. The 'hospital' was packed. I'm not expecting anything that rough this time. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
