These Cruise Ship Cabins Are the Best to Avoid Seasickness, According to a Captain

"The most coveted space on a cruise ship is midship, which is the middle of the ship going from the bow to the stern," Don Bucolo, the co-founder of Eat Sleep Cruise, shared with Travel + Leisure. "This is where travelers are less likely to feel the motion of the ocean. Thus, cruisers concerned about getting seasick should consider booking a cabin midship on a middle deck. However, there is a major caveat to consider."

"Heading out on your first cruise? Take this extremely helpful advice: Book a cabin in the center of the ship, especially if you're traveling through rocky waters. While every room on a cruise is a great one-because it means you're setting sail-there are rooms that are better than others when it comes to avoiding seasickness. "Cabins toward the center of the ship on lower decks are the best if you can get them,""

Booking a cabin in the center of the ship on lower decks reduces motion and lowers the chance of seasickness. Midship cabins on middle decks experience the least rocking and are recommended for travelers sensitive to motion. Central cabins are often more expensive and tend to sell out quickly, so booking six to eight months in advance improves the chances of securing one. Travelers with mobility limitations should choose staterooms near elevators to ease movement around the ship. A captain's naval experience reinforces that lower, central placement provides the most stability in rough waters.
