- Hey sailors
If you are thinking of working on cruise ships then definitely watch this!
There is a chance you could get seasick, and having been there my self, it is the worst feeling when you feel sick but you still have to work. Normally, taking seasickness medicine would do the trick but, most of them make you drowsy which is no good for those of us who have to work so, I have gone through some cures that I swear by when I'm working onboard cruise ships and feeling sea sick.

Thank you for watching
Usually what I always do if I get seasick is 1 of 3 things and all of them work. 1. take a gravol( it's an over the counter you can buy here in Canada, other countries may have it not sure) I always bring 2 tablet bottles with me on the ships. 2. Drink a ginger ale and eat rice, this fixes it pretty fast usually. 3. If I can get outside on deck I'll walk out for a few minutes so I can see the horizon, get some fresh air. It helps me get my bearings and I can focus on something that's static and not moving. My stomach usually calms down after a bit and I don't feel nauseous and dizzy.
The pectin in green apples helps neutralize acid in the stomach, while the natural sugar helps settle the stomach 🤣
I used Bonine instead of Dramamine or other seasickness because it doesn’t cause drowsiness for me, so I could still work all day and not feel like crap! But I hate having to take it often so definitely used those other options you mentioned and most of them work! Sea bands don’t seem to work for me🤣🤣
Thank you!
We took on our last two cruises both sea sickness tablets (the natural ones which are mainly ginger, as the original type ones have had me totally spaced out before), plus the sea bands :) i did not believe that the sea bands would work, i was very doubtful, but they worked fantastically :) they helped both my partner and I with nausea through some rough seas when used in conjunction with the tablets :)
Thanks 😊
"Sick..." 🤣🤣🤣
The pectin in green apples helps neutralise acid in the stomach, thats why green apples are good
Amazing. Thank you so much!!
@@CruisingAsCrew and
I felt so bad for people that get seasick. I was on a cruise and we went through the tail end of a hurricane. I was fine but the center of the ship was full of seasick passengers. Get to center mass.
Lucie , so if you wear a green shirt like you have on now , and eat a green apple, you won't feel sick, right ,sure I won't. Yass. I have been on all the big ships and you still feel it when it's a bit rough ,lol .
How about getting off the ship? I have just come off a week of being in a 50 foot catamaran sailing the BVI’s. I have been waking with migraines and a bit dizzy.
and while you are feeling sick, do not lay down on your bed! That will make it worse :-(
❤️🙏🏴☠️
Do the bands really work or is it a myth?
This might be a really stupid question but is it common for people to feel sea sick ? Do you always feel sick when it’s choppy ? Does it depend on the person? I’m only asking as I’ve never been on one so like I don’t know how I would feel ? 😂😂
It's not a stupid question! You may feel sick if it's really choppy but the ships are so big that 9 times out of 10 you cant feel the waves!
If you dont get car sick then you probably won't get sea sick.
You never answered me. Older with experience. Why you do not hire us ???? Only 20 yr olds. 43 cruises. Let me know.
I'm 52 yrs old and start next month. Age is not an issue 😊
eventually you get your sea-legs don't you?
Yeeah. It only takes a few days.
I wonder how long before she sorts out her audio problems. The right side is basically turned off and is only picking up bleed-over from the left. As someone who is completely deaf on the left this is extremely irritating.
Anecdotal evidence suggests eating green apples can help with seasickness. Green apples are especially high in pectin, a soluble fibre which turns water into a thick gel in your intestines. This slows down your digestion and settles your stomach.
