Symptoms of seasickness
A lot of people I speak to are put off cruises, worried they may be affected by seasickness.
Seasickness can make you feel like you’re moving, even when stationary, dizzy and some cruisers may have a headache. You may have also feel nauseous.
Seasickness can indeed affect even the most seasoned cruisers. Here are some remedies and tips to help manage and prevent seasickness.
Seasickness remedies
Kwells – Travel sickness tablets
I always carry these in my first aid bag on all cruises. I usually never suffer with seasickness. But was very grateful when on our last cruise I felt a little nauseous due to some very high winds.
These worked quickly and I was back to myself in no time. There are lots of options available, but these have worked for me. Just a disclaimer, I am not medically trained and please make sure you check with your pharmacist or GP if they’re OK for you to take beforehand! Also they will most certainly be cheaper at your local pharmacy.
Motion sickness patches
I’ve always seen a lot of cruisers wearing these and they have all sworn that they’ve prevented seasickness.
You place one patch either behind your ear or near your belly button, then let the patch do the rest.
Motion sickness bands
I always have these along with the Kwells seasickness tablets in my first aid bag. On a recent cruise with my parents, mum was struggling with seasickness. She didn’t fancy any tablets so gave these a go. Mum was suffering with dizzy spells and said these really helped ease things. Just place on the wrist to help prevent and ease seasickness.
