Will I get seasick on a cruise ship?

Question:

I am a bit prone to seasickness and have gotten ill on small boat trips and scuba diving. Do folks tend to get seasick on cruise ships? Has anyone done this and what remedies did you use for seasickness?

Thanks for the help.

Answers:
The larger the ship, the less the movement. Other factors are weather. Going through hurricanes or the edge of them can rock and roll even the larger ships. Stabilizers on the ships of today make a big difference to ease things. You shouldn't have a problem. Yes, there's a reason that there are discounted rates during hurricane season, but many novices don't think that one through. Once you're in one, you don't forget. However, it's an opportunity to take an elevator at a 45 degree angle...

If you should start feeling seasick, lie down with a cold washcloth. Meds have to begin before the trip to be effective. Most ships are large now, and any slight queasiness at first should go away. I've been seasick on small vessels, but these big liners have been wonderful without any problems.

Bon voyage and have a great trip!
