Sea Change

Ideally, I prefer boats where there are good settee berths on either side, right at the centre of motion.
But in many modern AWBs this isn't an option, due to linear galleys and/or circular seating plans.
In these designs, I presume the aft cabins become the sea berths.
Just how bad is this likely to be? In our centre cockpit boat, the transverse aft berth was right above the steering gear and then motion and noise made it a hopeless place to sleep while under way. But perhaps these problems don't apply on an aft cockpit AWB?
