We were on the same cruise. We too had a great time. Food, entertainment, no complaints. However, I have to agree with you with regard to having a cabin at the stern of the ship. This would have been our 15th cruise. We normally have a midship cabin. On this occasion we went for a suite at the stern. Big mistake. I was extremely ill with the lurching of the cabin. I missed dinner and the Portunus party on one night as i felt too ill to go. I just could not stand up without feeling sick. Even going across the Bay, i spent most of the time laying down. Going out was fine it was just some of the journey home. We have been on Oceana 3 times and during all of our other cruises I have never been ill. Andrew, our butler told us their were 46 glasses smashed on that particular night, in the six cabins he looked after. We lost 8 glasses. So note for future cruises. Do not book a cabin at the stern of the ship. We have two cruises booked for next year and we have mid ship suites on them. So hopefully I will be fine.
