We’re booked on NCL Breakaway this October, Venice to Barcelona. Has anyone here booked a front facing cabin and what was your experience with the movement (seasickness)? Our agent thought it might not be a problem but she was more interested in quickly making our reservation. Thanks
I have had the front and very back several times. Unless you are in a storm with rough seas I didn't notice much difference as far as movement goes. the only issue I had with the very front is you could hear them drop the anchor when we docked.
I have had some missing sleep from the pounding of the ship during the night. If it becomes really rough it can be an issue. Like hitting a wooden log about 2 metres round. Big ships still get used my mother nature. But normally they can get around most tough water. But ShiP happens.
As has been said, the anchor can be an issue depending on the location. A true forward-facing cabin would also experience some wind and more up-and-down movement if the seas were rougher.
That’s really helpful. I’ve heard it can be more noticeable at the very front compared to midship. I guess it really depends on the sea conditions, but it's good to know about the wind factor too. Did you ever find it impacted your sleep or comfort much, or was it more just occasional?

We had a forward facing cabin recently. We had to keep the window shades closed at night if our cabin lights were on so we would not interfere with the navigational bridge. The dark view of the night sky was worth it. It was not a rough ride at all.

Ditto for us. We recently came back from Barcelona on a two week cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras in a forward facing cabin. Aside from keeping the curtain pulled at night if the lights were on it was pretty smooth sailing and I don't recall hearing an anchor at all. It was a bit difficult to open the balcony door when moving due to the wind, but we had beautiful views.
