It really doesn't matter! When you enter a fjord, the only way out is to go back again.

At their core, Norwegian ships are mass-market ships, with entry-level cabins that are affordable to middle-class travelers. However, overlaid across most vessels are high-end suites and services that are at a luxury level, and the line draws a good number of luxury-seeking travelers.
Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the most excellent spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much.
The best cruise cabin to book would be near ocean level at the ship's center, known as mid-ship. While ocean-level rooms aren't considered the most luxurious options, the closer you get to water-level, the less rocking you'll feel on the ship.
The lower and more central you are in a ship, the less roll and sway you will feel. Even if you choose a balcony room, choose a low level and a room closest to the ship's center. The higher decks and cabins at the front (forward) or back (aft) of the ship will rock and roll the most.
