If you are referring to a cruise liner, the ship's purser or doctor can give her something to help (dramamine). If she's vomiting and it's to be taken orally, it won't be much help, though. If she gets very sick, the doctor can give her an injection.
The best thing to do is plan ahead. You never know when you'll run into rough seas. I always get a perscription for a patch to be worn behind the ear. You need to apply it 24 hours before you sail and each patch lasts for about 3 days.
I'm not bothered by boating motion except when there are really high seas. Without the patch, an otherwise fun experience would have been ruined more than once.

I went on a navy boat recently and those are much more prone to giving sea sickness than a commercial cruise. What I used was basically some "gravol" before the actual complete effects were felt. It is a practical solution being as you can take some along and take them when needed. But to tell you the truth, most commercial cruise boats now a days are constructed to diminish almost completely the effects of sea sickness. So most cases are rare. Just in case, you can bring some "gravol" and also, consult your physician, there is a shot you can get prior to departure that will protect you from the effects permanently for the trip. And also, check with that boats Cruise info, they also must have a medical staff on board with the necessary meds if needed. For quick natural cures, always keep a little food in your stomach, it really helps! And when the feeling is strong, head outside and look at the horizon, it give you the air in your lungs to clear the mind and gives you a steady reference point! Good luck and have a good cruise! I'm certain you'll be fine!

So simple - get some Bonine at the drugstore and take it the day before your departure and everyday of your trip (I think you only need one a day). It's easier to prevent it than treat it. It also doesn't make you drowsy like Dramamine. She could take a Dramamine at nighttime to help her sleep and enforce the Bonine.

The best remedy for me has been dramamine. It kept me from getting sick and didn't make me drowsy. Also, there are patches that are offered over the counter.
