Do passenger`s still get sea sick these days? I don`t know, but here`s a nice cure from 1898! The small print reads; (Specially engaged for the cross channel service). "Dr. Paul Farez asserts that he has found in hypnotism an absolutely infallible remedy for sea-sickness and similar discomforts".

I think when seas are heavy i get sea sick but otherwise ok
when i mean heavy, i mean when your breakfast slides from one end of the table to the other every 2 seconds

My advice to anyone who suffers is to get as near as possible to the middle of the ship, you will feel a lot less movement.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Thats an old one Jan. I remember being given that advice on the ould sea crossings back and forth to Dublin. Cue for the ould Princess Maud again. It didnt matter where you stood, the thing rattled and rumbled back and forth without the use of any of those modern niceties that all you modern big softies need, like stabilisers, or rails to keep the customers from falling overboard
okay they had rails but there were horrifying areas on deck with just a chain swung across the open spaces.
Coupled with that they used to carry cattle in the deck below...so the smell from their inevitable ermmm..bowel movements, coupled with the dreadful lurching of the ship and only the hardened sailor could make it across without upchucking into the wind. Ye get terrible howling gales in the Irish Sea, its in that unfortunate weather pattern, and upchucking without covering yourself in...glory..was an art in itself.

Simple instructions for a vomit free crossing.
1. When on board go to toilet immediately. This will avoid the need to go to the toilet later where you will see people throwing up whereupon you will join them.
2. Stand at bar and drink 'shorts'. (If you go on long drinks you will have to go to the toilet - see 1 above)
3. (the tricky bit). Focus on the bottles above the optics. Your task is to keep yourself perpendicular to the top of the liquids in the bottle. If you succeed in this, whilst the rest of the vessel rocks and rolls, you will be transported gracefully to France in a state of total equilibrium as though mounted on gimbals.
4. Do not consider for a minute driving afterwards. You are now pissed.
Always works for me!

sensible advice bob, when i travelled from harwich to the hook, i noticed that the dutch passengers used to have a massive breakfast washed down with endless bottles of flavoured milk.
yet is was us english that used to chuck up, never worked out why.

Melissa
by sitting under a tree means that you are not at sea hence cannot be seasick.
