This is a common chestnut, what to do if you suffer from seasickness.
Being ‘seasick’ is simply the ‘on water’ variation of suffering from motion sickness which you can experience in cars, on planes, coaches - in fact, you can experience the same nauseating feelings and suffer with similar symptoms when travelling on any form of transport.
In reality, what is actually happening begins with the effects that the motion of the ship on the sea is having on your inner ear and eyes which, as a result, starts to send confusing signals to your brain.
So how do you overcome it, you can buy both over the counter and prescriptive anti-motion sickness medication including tablets and injections; taking ginger in some form, such as in drinking ginger ale or eating ginger snap biscuits before you set sail have often been said to reduce the severity of the effects of seasickness and there are patches and wristbands which can be bought too.
Of course if its safe to do so, going onto deck taking deep slow breaths and focusing on the distant horizon rather than the motion of the cruise ship may help.
However, there isn’t one single solution that has been proven to absolutely ensure that you’ll not suffer from seasickness and it can very much vary between individuals. Some may suffer a little or not at all whilst another person close by might be severely affected.
