Yes - I've sailed over 20 times in different parts of the world and still get seasick sometimes. Most ships now sailing have stabilizers to minimize rolling and the captain has certain maneuvers he can use in rough seas or wind, such as reducing speed or steering into waves. However, unless the sea is rough or the wind is causing movement, you won't even feel the ship moving.
If you are considering a cruise and start experiencing seasickness, contact the doctor on board at the first sign and they will either provide you medication or an injection. There are people who will tell you that you should wear a patch or take some over-the-counter remedies, but these don't work for everyone. There are also those who will tell you that you should always get a cabin in mid-ship at the lowest level, but since stabilizers have been installed, that's an old myth that no longer applies. The cruise lines take advantage of this fact to charge more for cabins that are located at mid-ship.
Make sure you take out travel insurance if you take a cruise. No only will it provide you coverage for a number of things such as lost luggage, missed connections, itinerary changes, etc, but if you need to visit the doctor on board, it will also cover charges for any visits and medication. Never travel without travel insurance. Its a small price to pay for the protection.
Bon Voyage! |

Yes they do. Our 1st cruise my fiance was affected by the motion, however; our stateroom attendant told us to go to the purses desk & they hooked her up with some awsome medication to counteract the mtion sickness and we wound up having a great time.
We are going to the Carribean this December for our honeymoon and can't wait. Freedom of the Seas here we come. |

Yeah, it is possible. It is not so bad, like on a small motor boat. You can barely feel that you are moving, and the waves don't do anything to the boat. Most of the time you forget you are on a boat. |

Yeh some do, they feel dizzy and want to vomit, but that depends on individual, I feel ok when on cruise. I guess you might know that there are pills to ease people of getting seasick. |

yes, many do--personally I do--Take care of this before you go on your cruise. Talk to your pharmicist--You can purchase a arm band for $5-10 that you simply just wear around your arm. It works--Ask the pharmacist about it.--Good Luck |

Sometimes. The ships are pretty stable but the motion bothers some people. |

You can also contact your physician and ask for a prescription for the patch to wear behind your ear. I know many people who use the patch and love it, never get seasick.
You could get dramamine, but that makes you drowsy! So becareful of that, you don't want to waste your trip by sleeping it away!
I would recommend the patch or the wrist bands that you can get at your local pharmacy.
Good luck and have fun! |
