However, someone told me that if you are really bad the Ships Doctor can give you a 'magic' injection which will cure you in an hour.
If it is not so serious, tablets and fresh air is good. Position yourelf at mid-ships.

Who told you this! Better not tell that to anyone who has hung over the Porcelein bowl all day I don't know if it was sea sickness or food poisoning but ye gods, I never want to go through that again
quote:Originally posted by PeterUK:Those who suffer say that an equal measure of port and brandy mixed together works wonders.
Peter, as an ex-Brit I'll drink to that - it works on land, sea and in the air - nothing better!
And DONNAW - If you do feel queasy it's very important to eat - preferably crackers or dry bread - stay away from rich foods and go easy on fruit and veg. when it's a bit rocky- ginger ale (no ice) and/or ginger pills work well too - getting up on deck for fresh air, no matter the weather, is also very beneficial.
Most important, for most people, is your state of mind - if you keep thinking you might get seasick, chances are you will. I've heard about those 'shots' but have never had one. At the start of my cruising days I was too young for the port and brandy - it was rough and I just wanted to die - my ever practical Scottish Mum slipped some brandy into the ginger ale and dragged me up on deck - I've never been seasick since despite some pretty rough trips.
My cruise nightcap now is a brandy with a splash of ginger ale….I sip it in bed before turning out the light .
Go and enjoy - Happy cruisin'
