Embarking on a cruise should fill you with excitement for ocean breezes and exotic destinations. If you have ever worried about getting seasick at sea, you are not alone. Many cruise guests experience some level of motion discomfort, especially on their first voyage or during rough waters. The good news is that there are practical steps and tried-and-true products to help keep seasickness at bay, so you can focus on having fun.
Preparation is key. Before your cruise, consider selecting a midship cabin on a lower deck, where there is less movement. Fresh air can work wonders, so spend as much time as possible outside on deck when you start to feel queasy. Staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and enjoying light meals also play a huge role in keeping your stomach settled. Some travelers swear by ginger candies or teas, while others rely on over-the-counter remedies like Dramamine or Bonine. For a hands-free approach, acupressure wristbands and prescription patches are helpful options that cruise veterans often recommend.
While on board, try to keep your eyes focused on the horizon or pick a stable spot if the ship starts to rock. Remember that larger ships with advanced stabilizers tend to be smoother during rough seas. Activities like swimming or engaging in ship events can distract your mind from queasiness. If you are prone to seasickness, avoid alcohol, heavy meals, and staying below deck for long periods.
