| Choosing a Stateroom | A cabin positioned high and toward the pointed end at the front of the ship may lead to sea sickness on the off chance of rough weather at sea.
The cabins positioned aft (back end of the ship) can also influence your comfort in bad weather.
Today it is rare that you will feel discomfort due to motion, as many cruise lines employ special stability innovations. If you know the sea sickness will bother you ask your travel agent to book a cabin on a lower deck (less side to side motion) or in the middle to reduce movement.
But if you want cabin with private balcony, remember that you would not find it in the lower part of the ship.
The main considerations in choosing of a cabin are: you should know how much motion will there be (If the ship is small the rolling and pitching will bother you more.
Remember, a mid-ship lower level cabin should help.); you should decide what square footage is the most appropriate for your comfort and budget; you should know whether anything (the hull, lifeboats, and equipment on the deck) will obstruct your view; ask your agent how large the windows are (portholes, standard size windows, floor to ceiling windows or floor to ceiling glass doors that open to a verandah); ask the agent also whether the other passengers can see you in my room or on your verandah ( if your cabin is on a promenade deck, the other passengers who walk by your window can actually view inside.
Of course, most modern ships use reflective glass but that works only during the day but not at night when your lights are on. And there are some balcony cabins which over look others and everything happening on the lower balcony is visible to others; and at last you should ask your agent whether it may be noisy in the room ( if you like to sleep late or can be awoken easily, you should avoid cabins near the anchor, the tenders, the engines, the disco, the galley and the stairwell).
