If a person is susceptible to motion sickness, there is a good chance they will be susceptible to getting sea sick.I've invited my SO to join me on a Halloween on The High Seas DCL with my DS. She's excited about joining but has never been on a cruise. She'd like to know if people get sea sick often on the ships or if that's not really something to worry about. Any thoughts or advice?
I did not know this. Thank you.Depends how rough the seas are. Stay low and midship for the least amount of movement. There are free meclizine tablets available at the Health Center, in a bin on the outside of the door at all times.
1 hurricane??and remember, folks can get "sea sick" after they disembark the ship. You can "feel the earth move under your feet" for several days. Happens to some, but by no means everyone. Sometimes the symptoms can be severe.
Cruising out of Florida is good for me because we frequently visit WDW after the cruise. If I feel wobbly on land, Tower of Terror always helps. But like any "medicine" you need to take it at regular intervals. But I'm NOT complaining!!
I will see if I can find the "everything you wanted to know about motion sickness meds" and post the link in this thread. It is quite old by now, but the "old" meds info is probably still accurate, and I am sure that there are newer treatments.
Found it .... click the link below
As far as Sea Sickness meds - here is a post that gives you a LOT of info about the various meds.
I get awful motion sickness on certain theme park rides (anything with spinning), but have never been significantly sea sick on the six cruises that I've taken on DCL, and I've sailed on every ship.I've invited my SO to join me on a Halloween on The High Seas DCL with my DS.
