Pat and Ray, thanks for sharing your experiences. We prefer smaller ships with the resulting smaller pax load so are willing to take the risk of more motion. We've been in 15-20 foot seas on the PG in a very forward cabin during cruises to the Marquesas and Australs and the half of us that's prone to seasickness did just fine with sea bands and prophylactic Bonine.....thank heavens! The itinerary we're looking at includes cruising the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea and the Arctic Ocean so fingers crossed that our good luck continues.

Primarily our questions are based on comparisons between Oceania's and RSSC's cabin size and amenities and food and service but now that you've mentioned motion, could anyone who's cruised the Arctic, Norwegian and North Seas in July/August comment on their experiences with motion/storms?
