I didn't go to the very front but the back was very rough compared to where our suites were located closer to the front.

the middle..........................
seriously I have never had a problem bow or stern, but those that are subject to
some motion sickness might find the back a little rocky where the bow tends to
be more bouncy as it cuts through the waves.

The ideal place to be on a ship at sea would be hands down in the middle of the ship.
My wife and I Cruised on Carnival Legend and our stateroom 6167, was smack in the middle of the middle of the ship.
Don't forget that ships not only rock but also pitch. We felt very, very little at 16 foot high swells while other poor souls were, let's just say clearing out there stomachs as we heard at dinner the following night in the front and rear.
Happy cruising!!

To talk technical, the pointy end and the blunt end will both rock the same. If the boat is rolling,i.e., tilting from side to side, the pointy part, blunt part, and fat part will all roll the same. But the bottom floors will roll a little less that the top floors. If the boat is pitching, diving and rising end to end, the pointy end and the blunt end has to move the same amount. When one end goes down the other end goes up, unless the boat is hinged in the middle. The fat part will not pitch as much as the ends. So the lowest floor in the fat part on the boat has the least movement. Do you think that's why the crew lives there?
End of technical talk.
Today's ships all have stabilizers which holds the ships movement to a minimum even in fairly rough weather and seas. And satellite weather and radar allow the ship to avoid bad weather and rough seas for the most part.
While it is correct that the lower decks midships are the most stable, its only a tiny difference. And the wind and waves will rarely be coming at the ship straight from the side or straight from the bow. Almost always the seas will be quarting, coming at the ship at an angle causing pitching and rolling together. This makes it seem worse than it actually is because so many people find that to be a little scary. Which makes them feel seasick faster. Just take some Bonine, available at any pharmacy, along with you and don't hide in your cabin if you start to feel woosy. Get up on an outside deck, breath some fresh air and look out to the horizon.
Have a good time

My wife and I have always preferred the very stern (back end) cabins on the Empress deck. With the props digging in all the time there is very little pitching or rolling. The slight vibration also makes sleeping wonderful. I slept like a rock the whole time we were away. The view at night while underway is just tremendous. I really wouldn't care if we ever went to a port of call.
I would still take the bonine each morning as a precautionary measure even though I don't get seasick.
Enjoy crusing guys. It's the only way to go for my money.

Aw Puhleez! It's the only way to travel. I myself really wouldn't mind if I spent only a day or two at a port. For me, it's all about the ship.
"There is an exception for me though, I had the best times of my life in Tortola when my wife and I swam with the dolphins for 45 mins.
Heck I even booked a cruise on the Golden back in October for the Nova Scotia/New York Run. I've already been to Nova Scotia many years before. I went exclusively to sail on this magnificent vessel.
Rocking, swaying and pitching, no problem, it's to be expected. We are at the mercy of the sea. Between the Ship's stablizers and the captian, I really don't worry.

Gotta love the vibration. I like the stern because I like to feel the engines. Also it is near the FOOD! I don't know why some folks complain about vibration....it helps me sleep too. A little rocking is soothing as well. Don't get me wrong, I have been seasick and it ain't no fun, but I like to know I am on a MOVING SHIP. I avoid those Bahamas cruises that spend the night in Nassau. To me, what's the point!?!?! Might as well stay in a hotel...
