I spent a month crossing the Pacific on a thousand footer with several ports of call along the way. Most days were very smooth sailing but there were two stormy periods during that month. The first three days at sea were very rough with another stormy period in about the third week. You may not think a ship of that size would move around much but it does. My cabin was toward the bow (unfortunately) and some of those days and nights were like riding a roller coaster, constantly up and down with a lot of creaking. When we dipped into a trough and the bow crashed into the next oncoming wave it was like we ran into something solid. There was a jolt with a loud "BANG!" and the resulting bow wave would sometimes crash over my cabin window all the way up on deck five. One particularly rough night was constant up and down with a lot of creaking, banging, and waves crashing over the window, and I woke up about 3 am with my only bout of motion sickness on the trip. That wasn't much fun, but overall the voyage was an amazing experience.
