Worried about Sea Sickness

[Rich M]

My sister has gotten sea sick on a couple things in the past. Is a inside stateroom better then an oceanview for someone prone to it? Any other recommendations

What ship? The solstice class on Celebrity are very, very stable. Look at the horizon on an outside deck with fresh air. Also, lay on your back on a bed and not on your side. Finally, there is a liquid you can put behind your ears (Motionease?) that works miracles, is inexpensive and can get at Wal-Mart.

I am still booking so not sure.

OK. I got a behind the scenes engineering tour of the Celebrity's Solstice class ships; they are optimized for stability and guest comfort.

The bigger the ship the less you feel it move.

Keeping your cabin to the middle of the ship (versus front or back) you should feel less.

Bigger ship, towards the middle, not too high of a deck.

My husband gets seasick but has never had a problem on a cruise. Even though we live in NY he refuses to try sailing out of NY/NJ after seeing videos and hearing accounts from friends.

Another tip: do not drink alcohol if you/her experience motion sickness. It only adds to the disconnect between the brain/ear.

Ginger is also another excellent anti-motion sickness treatment.
