I have been on many, many cruises and I've never been sea sick or even not felt real good. I've been on many cruises where the weather was a little bad and the boat rocked a little, i.e. 20 foot waves, and never had a problem.
But, each person is different. If this will be your first cruise, I would take some medication to be on the safe side. There are a lot of different options, which ones work the best I don't really know, so you may consider bringing a few different things. The cruise ship usually has some, but it is always a good idea to have your own in case.

I've never been seasick on a cruise. I do feel very nauseous on ferry crossings so was a bit concerned the first time I cruised but it was fine. There was quite a lot of movement on the last cruise I did but i felt fine. You see lots of people wearing patches behind their ear to help with seasickness. Cruise ships are normally stabalised so you shouldn't feel too much movement but it does depend on the weather. Lying down flat and fresh air helps so as a tip - lie on the deck around the pool !! Don't let it put you off a cruise, they make great holidays.

I have taken several cruises and have only felt seasick when their was bad weather or the seas were rough, but every person is different. You can take an over the counter medication with you if you are concerned. Some people see their doctors before they leave to get motion sickness patches which they wear the entire cruise, they are usually small and worn behind the ear.

If you are someone who usually gets carsick or seasick on just a small boat there is a good chance you will feel the waves. It also depends on when you are going and where you are going. For example I am going to Mexico at spring break on a cruise and my dad asked the travel agent about getting seasick. They told as around where, so my dad got seasickness medicine called Transderm-V. Either go to your family doctor or to your local drug store and i;m sure they can find you something. Happy Cruising!

My husband and i went on a cruise to the Bahamas last year and this was the very same question i had because i do get very sick on long trips in the car especially if i am reading. I was glad to find out myself that i did NOT get seasick on the cruise. When we first boarded the ship, however, i did notice that the ship was moving and it took some time to adjust my walking a bit, but other than that i was totally fine. I hope you have a great time on your trip!!!!!!

From what I understand, it depends on the boat. You will want to go on as big a boat as possible and a newer one that has the most state of the art stabilizers. I too had this concern. I get violently car sick and was seasick once. I cruised the NCL Dawn and had no problems. Stick to the newer bigger ships and you can't go wrong!

The MOST seasick I ever got was on a cruise ship between Fort Lauderdale and the Bahamas. The captain even warned us when we were about to cross the Gulf Stream. It wasn't just me -people were peuking their guts out all over the ship!

No, the hot ships are huge and you will not sense any action. Get a cabin/room for the duration of the deliver and you will sense such as you're on your front room at homestead. i'm getting carsick and dizzy very quite and that i've got under no circumstances gotten seasick on a cruise.

If you think you will be sea sick then you probably will be as I think a lot of it is in the mind. Most, if not all, cruise ships have stabilisers to reduce rolling. Most cruises are planned in areas at times when the weather is calm. In my experience, keep active, don't just lie in bed feeling sorry for yourself, walk around the deck and watch the waves. If you have trouble sleeping a few gin and tonics help. Happy sailing.

When went on RC i had no problems. These cruises have stabilizers that keep the cruises from rocking so really you don't have to worry about that. They are sooo big and you stay soooo busy you wont even realize you are on a cruise. Just go and enjoy!
