There are many people that like to travel who really would love to take luxury cruise vacations or holidays but are concerned that they may get seasick. If they feel that it may be a problem they might try booking a short one to three day cruise. Also, the information below may help change their minds concerning seasickness on cruises.
Modern cruise ships have dramatically reduced the problem of seasickness. Today's larger ships cut through waves instead of riding on the top of them. Also, the new technologies such as counterbalancing systems and stabilizers have greatly reduced the pitch and roll of the ships, all but neutralizing the problem of seasickness.
However, if you think you have a severe seasickness problem, you may want to book an inside cabin located on a lower deck and in the middle of the ship. This is the area of the ship where the least rocking motion is felt. If you are planning to book a trans-Atlantic cruise, it is possible that an ocean crossing may be rough at certain times.
If needed, the ship's doctor can prescribe medication such as Benadryl, Bonine, or Dramamine tablets that will treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, the worst symptoms of motion sickness. There is another very effective, physician prescribed, anti-seasickness product called Transderm Scop. It is a small patch that is placed behind each ear. These patches can lessen the effects of, or even prevent, motion sickness.
Sea-Bands, which apply gentle pressure to the acupressure points on your wrists also work well. They have been clinically tested to help provide relief from nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness when traveling, anesthesia, chemotherapy, pregnancy, and any condition that may induce vomiting. They are available in pharmacies and drug stores as well as most travel oriented stores and don't require a prescription. They do not cause any side effects so can be used safely, again and again, whenever you feel nauseous. They also can be purchased online at Sea-Band.com.
Health care professionals such as a physician, or pharmacist should always be consulted about drug dosages and their possible side effects. There can also be side effects caused by different drug combinations, even with over-the-counter medications. - 29868
