Do you think I would get seasick on an Alaska cruise? What about on the excursions? |
I'm not terribly prone to seasickness, but I have been known to get pretty green in a smaller boat on choppy waters. I'm told the big cruise ships with stablizers don't even feel like they're moving, so I'm not too worried about that part; but I hope to go on side trips to see whales and sea otters. Has anyone done this, and do folks tend to get seasick on them? |

If you aren't prone to it, then you will probably be fine on the ship. Unless there are particularly choppy waters, or if you imbibe too much, you really can't feel too much action. It also helps if you have a window or balcony in your room. Focusing on the horizon anytime you feel a twinge can help to alleviate it.
The small boat trips are a different story. Carry some sea sickness pills with you in case you need it. You are supposed to take them beforehand, but the problem is that they can make you quite sleepy. Instead, carry some gingersnaps that contain real ginger on the boat with you. Eat those the night before and that morning and keep a baggie with you. The ginger naturally helps some people with their sea sickness symptoms. If you get halfway through the trip and start to feel it coming on, pop the pills and continue looking at the horizon.
And avoid drinking more than a drink or two at any time. The problems that alcohol can cause can intensify sea sickness symptoms as well.
Good luck and have fun! : ) |

If you are prone to sea sickness, you can try some alternatives such as Dramimine (sp?) or the wrist bands that have presure points. I have been on many cruises and the stabilzers work very well. I can feel very little movement while at sea. |

No...the waters are very calm. But a little tip, go on the cruise in the summer. It's still very cold, but not as cold. |

My friends/family and I just got back from our Alaska cruise last week. Most of us did not get sick, but there were a few who did because of the choppy waters. I think maybe 3 of them had to take a dramamine or two, but were otherwise fine. The land excursions may help you when you get off of the ship. Have a great time! |

I didn't when I went. and if you do, stare at the horizon. and just the horizon. it'll look unmoving, which will trich your body into thinking its unmoving. |

Yes, you can get seasick on a big boat, I just take dramamine, never been sea-sick, it's a cheap way to keep a nice trip from getting ruined. |
