Generally the larger the ship, the less the motion. We cruised on the Majesty of the Seas (since retired) and you could feel the motion continually: I didn't mind it at all (actually like it) but on one moderately rough day there were
bags hung at the bottom of each stairwell. Conversely, on Harmony and Oasis, there was very little sensation of motion even when in rough(er) seas: Sitting in "Central Park" there is nothing really to even remind you that you are on a ship: you can't see the water from there and no perceptible sensation of motion of any kind.
Also, stabilizer technology improves over time: a newer ship will have better stabilization technology.
So--biggest and newest.
