GETTING SICK ON A LUXURY SHIP
The more expensive your cabin on a cruise, the greater the possibility that you will get seasick. This is because the expensive cabins are found forward, high, and with outside bulkhead exposure. This subjects them to more rolling and pitching than the less expensive cabins located near the ship's center of gravity.
