Cabin 12 360A

Motion on a ship is felt most strongly at the bow and on the upper decks, and it settles toward the middle and lower decks. Cabin 12360A sits forward on Deck 12, toward the bow where the hull meets wave action first, though its higher deck adds a little more sway in a swell. Even so, it lands mid-pack on our motion scale — in part because of a bit more pitching at the forward end — and you will feel the ship working in moderate seas. Sailors prone to seasickness will be steadier mid-ship and a deck or two lower.

How quiet a cabin feels comes down to what surrounds it — the nearest venues, the busiest elevator banks, and whatever sits directly above or below. Cabin 12360A sits forward on Deck 12, at the quiet front of the ship and away from the main evening venues. It earns a top noise score, and most sailors will find it genuinely quiet day and night.

Location really comes down to how far you are from the places you use most — the main dining rooms, the pool deck, and the gangway on port days. Cabin 12360A sits forward on Deck 12, with quick access to the forward elevators. Keeping the forward venues close at hand is what earns it a strong location score. The main trade-off is a longer elevator ride down to most dining, plus a longer haul to the aft pool and dining, but for sailors happy to base themselves forward it is an easy one to accept.
