Is it Just Me, or Do These Designs Make You Sea Sick?

I've been on two cruises, both on Norwegian Cruise Lines, and found much to like about cruising. If I had my druthers, I'd go stay at a beachfront resort somewhere where the water is turquoise blue (it's greenish-navy off the S.C. coast, which is still nice) rather than cruising with just a "drive by" encounter with the beaches. But my druthers are frequently not the guiding force behind our decision making, and we've found that NCL cruises out of Charleston are a deal. Fun, too.

So I'm on NCL's mailing list and I actually read the e-mails. I'm all set to go again, whether this is first druthers or second druthers, I don't care. Both cruises were about as relaxing a time as you can get. (Whereas if I were at a beachfront resort, I'd have much exploring and other things on my agenda to keep me busy instead of just unplugging.)

Anyway, I do get seasick. Not easily, but eventually. I can feel it coming on and take measures to prevent it, so it's all good. (Fresh ginger, ginger ale and seasick pills all work, depending on how bad it is.)

But just looking at the new room designs (click on photo above) in NCL's new ships makes me somewhat seasick. I mean, they're all wavy and curvy. Really pretty and much nicer than the rooms we had, but I think straight lines have a place on a ship. Something to stare at and give you hope that there are straight lines and flat plains somewhere in the world for those times when the ginger ale isn't quite working. I'd hate to be on that round bed with the ship tossing.

Though I'll certainly give it a try at the first opportunity.

Ugh...I don't like the designs AT ALL. They make me want to say, "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages..."
