For the Cruisers
Do you prefer Ocean View vs Deluxe Inside Stateroom?
Is it true you feel more movement the higher you are?

For the Cruisers
A window is always nice but you can get some great sleep in an inside room from the complete darkness!
Also, I always thought that the higher you are, the less you feel but on my last cruise, we had an inside room on the lowest deck and all the way in the aft and the only time we felt anything was whenever everyone else felt the ship move. I was pleasantly surprised!

The higher up, the more you feel. At least that was the case on the Disney Cruise. Low deck, mid ship is where you want to be to avoid feeling much movement. High decks and low decks in the rear (aft) is where we felt the most.
Think of when a building sways when it's really windy. You really don't feel that or see that on the low floors. But def. on the higher floors.

Re: For the Cruisers
We decided to do the Disney Magic next year. Wasn't sure if we should do the Ocean View but after reading this I should stick to the Inside room but move to the middle of the ship, right?
My SIL gets motion sickness so the less she feels the better it is.

Honestly I feel that if the boat is rocking, you're going to feel it everywhere. I was about 10-11 weeks pg on our cruise last month and dealing with MS. I stocked up on dramamine, sea bands, vitamin b6, etc. The seas were so smooth and it was the only week since my MS started where I didn't feel sick at all. As we left Bermuda, the weather was bad so the seas were rocking and you could feel it everywhere - up top, down low, midship, aft, forward, etc.

Re: For the Cruisers
We usually go for an inside room a high deck. I don't like being on the bottom of the boat. I would prefer inside over ocean view

We had an ocean view on Deck 2, mid ship and we were fine. Highly recommend that location. The portholes are so fun, my kids LOVED looking out it, and sitting in it and taking wacky pictures.
I would stay in the middle. Deck 2 on the Dream only has mid-ship rooms (no aft or forward), not sure if the Magic is the same. That boat is smaller, and some say you can feel it more on the smaller ones.

This has been my experience as well. The interior rooms are very small. VERY small, claustrophobic even. Once I went balcony, I'll never go back.

Re: For the Cruisers
I prefer ocean view, but have stayed in an inside cabin several times as the price is usually significantly cheaper.
As far as feeling the ship move, on the majority of the ships today, I honestly don't think it matters where you are. Between the way the ships are built and the stabilizers, you probably won't feel too much movement no matter where you are.

We would rather go on 2 inside cruises over 1 outside room for the same price.
We're barely in the room anyway.

Re: For the Cruisers
Room selection for me depends on length of the cruise and port stops. If its a short 4 day cruise to the Bahamas where the ship docks in Key West, Bahamas or more, - inside room since we wont be in the room much.
If its a 7 day cruise where you have only 2-3 days docked but sea days are longer (ie Alaska), I would choose a Balcony or Ocean view room since I may spend more time in the room.
