what to take for motion sickness on cruise
Your dream cruise can become a nightmare if the ship's motion causes you to become seasick. Motion sickness brings with it nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, and cold sweats. While seasickness can be mild, for some people it can be completely incapacitating.Seasickness is the result of a complex physiological reaction to motion, says John Bradberry, MD, medical director for Carnival Cruise Lines. Because antihistamines block messages to the part of the brain that controls nausea and vomiting, taking a medication such as Dramamine works best if you take it before you get motion sickness. 2  So for best results, take the pill before you board the ship, if you're going on a short trip.
