Is it okay to be at the front of a cruise ship?

Okay, so, being at the front of a cruise ship? Is it okay? Technically, yes, it’s there, so I guess someone has to be up there! But me? No way, no how. I talked to these seasoned cruisers once – you know, the kind who’ve practically lived at sea? – and they painted this horrifying picture of the rocking and rolling up front. Like, imagine trying to sip a daiquiri while feeling like you’re on a runaway rocking horse. No thanks! Seriously, if you even think you might get a little queasy, the front of the ship is basically a one-way ticket to Seasickness City. I learned that the hard way on a ferry once – never again! Ugh, that memory still makes me shudder. I’m all about that smooth sailing life. Give me a cabin somewhere in the middle, closer to the ship’s center of gravity or whatever. Stability is key, people! Isn’t a peaceful, nausea-free cruise the whole point? I mean, who wants to spend their vacation hanging over the railing? I’d rather be enjoying the buffet, thank you very much. So yeah, front of the ship? Maybe for someone braver than me. Or someone with a cast-iron stomach. Definitely not for this girl!
