This is caused by the motion of the ship. Some of the symptoms of seasickness on a cruise include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and an "off balance" feeling. While this might prevent some from going on a cruise, it shouldn't. Several remedies can reduce or eliminate many symptoms, even for those prone to motion sickness. The most important way to prevent seasickness is to pick the correct ship and itinerary. Newer ships have stabilizers that reduce the sensation of the ship moving. Also, avoiding specific itineraries, with rougher seas or during hurricane season, will reduce the likelihood of feeling the ship's motion. The crew of any cruise ship does their best to avoid bad weather and less-than-optimal sea conditions. Your cabin location can also help reduce seasickness. The best place for those who might get sick is midship cabins on the middle or lower decks. If the ship encounters rocky seas, you are more likely to feel the motion on the higher decks or all the way forward. The first day of your cruise can help set a foundation to avoid getting seasick on a cruise. On the first day, spend time outside and get a sense of the horizon. This can help you adjust to the movement of the ship. For those prone to getting seasick on a cruise, avoid drinking too much alcohol. Also, reducing your intake of fried or other fatty foods would be best. Other natural remedies that many cruisers swear by are ginger candies and green apples. Another remedy for preventing getting seasick on a cruise ship is sea bands. These work by applying slight pressure to critical points in your wrist. We have family members that swear by these inexpensive bands. Of course, there are medical treatments. Before considering prescription over-the-counter options, please consult your doctor to see if they are right for you. Some of the over counter options include Dramamine and Bonine. If these options don't help, you can consult your doctor for prescription options. With these cruise tips and tricks, you shouldn't let the fear of getting seasick on a cruise prevent you from your next voyage.
