Yes, that happened to me. It lasted for nearly two weeks and was worse when I was sitting still. Its motion sickness/ vertigo. Ask your pharmacist or doctor about bonine for vertigo, its OTC. I took it and after a few days I was better. You usually take one pill every 6-8 hours.

Yes, just last month. It was also my 4th cruise and we had 2 full sea days. A hurricane was brewing and we had 4 days of rough weather. It has never happened before, but this time I had that "my feet aren't firmly on the ground" feeling for a couple of days afterwards. It went away without doing anything. Good luck!

Yes, it happens to me everytime I take a cruise. It feels like I am still on the ship for about 4 days after I get home. It is not unusual and it will go away.

Your body had adjusted to the movement of the sea.
And its trying to adjust to being back on stable ground.
The dizziness is associated with symptoms of motion sickness.
Take some Less Drowsy Dramamine and this will help your dizziness.
It is for prevention and treatment of symptoms associated with motion sickness:
1.Nausea
2. Vomiting
3. Dizziness
You can find it in the pharmacy section of Wal-Mart with the motion sickness meds. If you have trouble finding it ask the clerk or pharmacist to help you find it.

Maybe the dizziness is not related to the cruise. It could be an "inner ear virus". This type of virus affects the equilibrium and makes you feel light headed. Sometimes you feel like you are going to loose your balance. If it does not stop soon, you should see your doctor.

Yes. But it probably has more to do with the snorkeling you did than the cruise itself. Do you feel like you just got off an elevator? If so, it will go away in 1 1/2 weeks.

Your body should have adjusted by now. If you are an exercise person, you might try some moderate to high level exercise to see if it brings you back. Otherwise, call a doctor, it has been a week. It doesn't take this long to get used to the boat.

Yes. It's like jet-lagged feelings but in your case, cruise-lagged. Don't worry, it will go away. If not, consult with your doctor. My boss have this kind of issue but I can't remember what it is called.

I felt dizzy in the shower when we got back. It went away pretty soon after returning home.
