Normal
Being aft REALLY depends on the ship you choose. Older & smaller ships you do not want to be aft. The noise & vibration from the engines / props can be a real hassle. You don't feel the motion quite as bad, but the vibration (esp as you enter & exit ports) is bad. We had an aft in Hollands (old) Wetsredam and hated it, the newer ships do offer great vantage points. Either way, a cruise is a cruise and you will love it. ENJOY! The Summit is wonderful.
