I was so afraid last year that i would as i am so prone to motion sickness so i took drammine an hour before i boarded(you can get it at walmart)but i really did not need it as the cruise ship was so big that you do not even feel the motion. I had to look outside to see if the ship was sailing cause i did not feel like i was moving. The stablizers keep the ship steady even during rough seas i was told. Happy sailing!!!


christen
the first day i felt a little uneasy, but that went away after that. Then we you get on land, you get "sea legs". It feels like you are still on the ship.


Missy
No, I never have gotten sick. Just try not to think about it, and stay busy! Have fun, and I am jealous!

I cruise frequently and get a prescription from my doctor for a sea sickness patch. It is a small round patch that you stick behind your ear. The patches last for three days. When the three days are up just replace with a new patch. Tell your doctor how many days you are going for and he/she will give you enough patches to last for the duration of your cruise. Put the patch on about eight hours before your departure to enable the medicine in it to get into your system before you actually sail. They work great! I hope you enjoy your cruise!

I never really noticed the ship's motion. I cruised the Caribbean on the Radisson Diamond, a huge catamaran. I visited Puerto Rico, St Barts, Antigua, St Lucia, Martinique and Barbados. I never experienced even a pang of seasickness. Neither did anyone else on the ship. If you do see the ship's doctor. He will be used to it and give you something suitable to take it away. Seasickness is caused by motion and the brain's lack of acceptance of it. Nothing to worry about.

Yes I did, the 3rd day in - which was good in a way because we were only staying onboard one more day and night. It was on a cruise through the Greek islands, from Rhodes to Crete. Our ship wasn't that big - it was the Emerald from Louis Cruise Lines, European owned. Our group leader came to my room and told me not to watch TV, to turn out all the lights, lay stay on the bed, eat a few salty potato chips, and try to sleep. She also recommended focusing my breathing with the rocking of the waves. The next day, I was absolutely fine onboard. What happened is we went through rough water and a storm - the rocking simply turned my stomach. It was a little scary - when planning your cruise, try to get a room in the center of the boat on a lower floor - we were in the back of the ship on the 6th floor and could feel each and every movement.

I felt a little queasy on my cruise, - but the seas were rough. I just put on a scopalamine patch, and I was fine. Your doctor will have to prescribe the patch for you.


Jojo
I got a little bit when the boat was rocky, but it wasn't bad, I just took some Dramamine and stayed in my cabin. I've heard the ginger thing too.

Shaun
I didn't get seasick. I assume it's rather rare.

on my first cruise I did a little but I think it was more the fact that as soon as you get on they herd you to the lido deck and the buffet and I at too much of the greasier food

enjoy but try to eat the just little bits of every thing and what till after you have set sail and are fine with that

and the best thing is still the ice water with lemon, had that on the second cruise with all food and had no problems at all

I am prone to seasickness. While fishing on the ocean, I always get sick. I have taken 4 cruises, and never have gotten seasick on any of them. There are doctors on every ship, so if you experience any illness, you can get medical help.


cupid struck
tis pretty common. many people get sea sick . usually it lasts during the voyage and a couple of hrs later as well

Kum by ya my Lord, kum by ya

Someone’s crying Lord, kum by ya
Someone’s praying Lord, kum by ya
