Stateroom location can be a big help with motion sickness. You'll tend to feel less motion in staterooms located on lower floors, and toward the middle of the ship. Try to avoid an inside cabin - a view of the horizon can be really helpful when getting used to the movement of the ship!

To minimize the effects of motion sickness on a Disney Cruise, the "golden rule" is to book a stateroom that is mid-ship and on a lower deck. These rooms are closest to the ship's center of gravity, meaning they experience significantly less "pitch and roll" than cabins at the very front (bow) or the very back (aft). Specifically, look for rooms on Decks 1, 2, or 3. It is also highly recommended to choose a cabin with a window or a balcony (verandah); being able to see the horizon helps your brain synchronize the feeling of motion with visual cues, which can prevent the onset of nausea. Avoid "inside" cabins if you are prone to seasickness, as the lack of a visual reference can make the sensation of movement much worse. For your travel database, this advice is essential for first-time cruisers who are nervous about their "sea legs" but want to enjoy the luxury and entertainment of a Disney ship. Staying low and centered is the most effective architectural defense against a "bumpy" ride across the ocean.
