What to Wear on Your Cruise
What about Seasickness?
|
Seasickness, a type of motion sickness, occurs when your inner ear senses movement that your eyes do not, causing dizziness, nausea, and discomfort. While it’s a common concern for first-time cruisers, it’s often manageable and preventable. To minimize the chances of seasickness, consider choosing a cabin located mid-ship and on a lower deck, where movement tends to be less noticeable. Over-the-counter remedies such as antihistamines, motion sickness patches, or acupressure wristbands can also be effective. Staying hydrated, eating light meals, and spending time on deck with fresh air and a clear horizon view can help as well. With proper preparation, you can enjoy your cruise without interruption from seasickness.
These are some of my recommendations . Ginger Chews help to settle your stomach.

Sea Bands - I use this product and it works great.
These patches need to be prescribed by a doctor. They work for 3 days, then you need to put on a new patch.
