What if I am afraid of motion sickness?

faq
This has become less of a problem over the last several years as cruise ships are now equipped with stabilizers to minimize the roll of the ship. Once the ship is underway, these "wings" swing out into place and allow the ship to move more smoothly through the ocean. The waters of the Caribbean are comparatively shallow and generally do not get very rough. If you normally do not get motion sickness in a car or airplane, chances are you won't have problems on a cruise ship.

Chatter: What about motion sickness. Do you now experience motion sickness?

Dr. Diane - Frequently Asked Questions,Traumatic Brain Injur...
Dr. Stoler: I did, but no longer, thanks to a wonderful man, Dr. Igor Burdenko of Lexington, Massachusetts (http://www.burdenko.com). If you have balance problems, or motion problems, balance or gait, Dr. Burdenko has revolutionized water and land therapy. I credit him for my ability to ride a bike again, to dance, to stand on one foot, and to walk normally rather than like a drunken sailor. I used to stagger and fall down and then I couldn't get up. Now I ride my bike and do hikes.

What can I do to avoid sea sickness?

Holden Beach Fishing Reports covering Holden Beach Fishing
There is no cure-all for sea sickness. Some are naturally more prone than others. I suggest you take a Dramamine motion sickness pill with dinner the evening prior to your fishing trip and then 1/2 of a pill with a light breakfast on the morning of your trip. Taking more pills WILL NOT be any more effective and will cause you to be very drowsy and lethargic

This usually isn't an issue because if the seas are rough we get off the water. We have designed the tours so that we have ample time to cover the distance without having to paddle in rough water. Additionally if someone is sick we have a mother boat standing by so that a peson can take a break for a day or two to recover. The mother boat allows novices to participate since they don't have to feel pressured to exert themselves any harder than is enjoyable and safe for them.

Also, lots of fresh air and looking out at the horizon are good cures for mild cases of seasickness. A more serious case which persisted for more than the first day would be handled as an emergency.
