I know I'm replying to an old thread, but I was just wondering about this. I would have thought that an interior room would've been better because the lower you are on a ship the less movement you feel, and the higher you are the greater the movement?

Yes, that works for me too, although I've never been really seasick too much. (Never been on a cruise bigger than an overnight-ferry trip anyway). So, whenever on a ship, I always eat - not too much, not an empty stomach, and a little bit every so often.
