You cant say if the flight is shaky depending on the route, it depends on the weather. Usually if you fly through thick cloud you get turbulance. But it depends what its like on the day you fly. But going a long distance, you almost always get turbulance. So I would say yes, you will get it, and you will always get it.

weather plays a major role. for the most part airplanes fly over clouds but if there is a very big storm you could get some rough and bumpy air...

Few flights of any length experience turbulence for the entire flight, but on the other hand, a long flight will typically encounter at least a little bit of turbulence at some point. Turbulence is often seen when crossing from sea to land, or going over mountain ranges, or in cloudy weather (especially fluffy clouds as opposite to smooth overcasts). Sometimes turbulence occurs unpredictably in completely clear air. Most turbulence is very mild, but it's good to keep your seat belt on whenever you're in your seat in case you suddenly encounter a pocket of turbulence. Turbulence is not normally a threat to aircraft, but people inside have been known to fall and hit themselves or break things if they happen to be standing and the aircraft zooms through an area of turbulence. It's a bit similar to what would happen if you were standing inside a bus and the bus suddenly went from smooth pavement to a dirty road with potholes, and then back to smooth pavement again.
