Tips for First Time Cruisers 

A little help with getting your sea legs



Modern cruise ships offer stable and comfortable cruising like never before. Most people are not affected. Sea sickness is caused by movement of the inner ear. It is best to take precautions until you know if you are sensitive or not.

Avoid booking room for your cruise at the rear of the ship (aft or stern) and avoid dining in the rear of the ship.

Before cruising for the first time, a few days before departing, take medication like Bonine. During the cruise use a wristband with pressure points to avoid sea sickness.

Resist the temptation to eat too much food or drink alcohol the first day of your cruise.

Secure all doors in your cabin while on the ship, they can move since the ship is moving whether you feel it or not.

Look at the horizon, not down at the sea.

Other helpful tips:

Wear your sunscreen to protect your skin. The sun can be intense at sea, even with cool temperatures.

When aboard ship, as in any large environment with people, wash your hands many times during the day and stay well.
