Stateroom 2501 on Main Deck (Deck 2) at the starboard bow.

We spent nine full days and nights at sea crossing the Pacific from the USA to Japan.  We found the north Pacific to be misnamed; several times we experienced high winds coming down from Alaska of Force 8 - 10 as well as waves up to 12 feet high.  It was quite disconcerting to hear a loud bang as a particularly large wave crashed against our portholes in the middle of the night!
