ROCKINESS

We will be in the front of the ship on the Navigator. Is it very rocky? As
always, thanks!

Depends on what you mean by your question. If you hit rough seas head
on, you will experience more rockiness (I think it's called pitch but it
might be roll) that those in the middle of the ship. If you are high up
and front or back, you will experience this even more under the
conditions that I've described. If the seas are calm, it doesn't matter
where you are.

The captain will try to steer around any rocks, and just keep the ship in
the water.

Seriously, unless the seas are extremely rough, it won't be. Most modern
ships are stabilized so that there is very little motion.

From personal experience, you may not get rockiness in that location, but in
~6' seas you may get an interesting lateral movement effect where the ship
seems to move/vibrate (low frequency) very slightly left and right as you
proceed. We observed this in an upper level cabin near the bow of a 110,000
ton cruise ship. I thought it kind of restful; my wife found it interfered
with her sleep.

Cute Mike!

The sister has sea sickness problems. I can handle anything. =)

Have her speak with her physician if she has one, they may be able to
prescribe something before hand.

FYI: Pitch is nose/bow up or down, ROLL is left to right rocking

The Voyeur series ships have these huge wings that are under water and
stabilize the ship. Last year on the roughest days the ship was still very
smooth. The best thing to take as far as I am concerned is the Non drowsy
Dramine. I am very susceptible to motion sickness and I was great.

At that location, it more than likely will be if you hit a patch of
bad seas.

This is true, stabilizers are a huge help for motion sickness in mild
to moderate seas, but it doesn't affect pitch. Stabilizers can only
stabilize a ship from the side to side "rolling" and also, I think,
"yaw" (alternating left and right movement of the bow).
