How To NOT Get Seasick On A Cruise

what's up paradise crew my name is Griffin and I'm Melissa and today we're gonna talk about how to not get seasick on the cruise it's a popular question the answer here's some ways you can avoid seasickness let's do it [Music] now even if you usually don't get seasick sometimes the weather isn't in anyone's favor so just be mindful of these tips they may help you out in the future alright so here we go there are a few things you can do before you actually get on the cruise to help prevent that seasickness you're so afraid of and that starts with booking your cabin in the middle of the ship but a little bit lower right there okay so according to Sir Isaac Newton whatever those laws are just think about it this sense you're gonna be right in the center as everyone that's booking their rooms right here alright there it goes up and down up and down you'll be nice and comfy right and also while you're planning your cruise try to avoid itineraries with multiple sea days in a row so if you can get on land after every sea day that would be ideal think about it as in jogging and then taking a small little break to get on land instead of just running a constant grueling marathon on the high seas next up is packing the Oso fashion I most see bands now these come in handy for a lot of people they use acupuncture sorry acupressure technology inside of the wristband on their super cool super comfy they come in black now what I really like about these things is they are reusable so you can actually find these things that target not two locations it'll either be in the pregnancy aisle or actual like nausea and stuff I'll so Dramamine pepto-bismol it's around that area and you can find it for seven bucks at Target so good find here see bands now if you are prone to getting severely sick due to any kind of motion that means getting in the car and getting sick flying on a plane and getting sick I would recommend going to see your doctor to see if they will give you the ear patch so if you been on a cruise before you might have seen a few people walking around with a patch behind your ear they got it from their doctor so if you're worried about that go see them and see if they'll give it to you and if you have first-time Cruiser it just looks like a little bit of band-aid so if you're wondering what it looks like you never seen one before our next recommendation is taking Dramamine before you board preferably non-drowsy now personally I don't take Dramamine it hasn't worked for me but because it has worked for others we figured we mentioned it to you so it could be a winner for you but for some it could be a loss so it comes down to what you think on this one so I think the key with Dramamine is to try to start taking it one to two days before you actually board the ship as a precaution it'll give some time to get in your system you should be safer that way okay so you've boarded the ship the ship starts to sail away and you don't feel well what do you do well one of the first things that you can do is to make sure that you are on deck in open air somewhere where you can see the horizon there's nothing like fresh air to kind of just help you reset your system to kind of put you back on track fresh air get on top of the deck the next tip is eating something now personally when I'm feeling a little seasick I don't like eating something but again this is one of these tips that when you do eat something and has shown great benefit to others such as Alyssa so for me if I start to not feel well I typically go for some heavier carbs kind of like breads croissants pastries something like that from the buffet that's easily accessible just kind of gives my stomach a little more not to fullness but a little more substance I guess it just kind of helps a little bit more other things we would recommend eating are actually great apples and I didn't know about this until our crews on the Paradise when our cruise director Lee came over the announcements the weather was so bad they had to like remind people of how to prevent seasickness but he mentioned green apples and they shouldn't have them all over the place in the buffet so make sure you grab one of those and don't forget about anything with ginger so that's ginger choose ginger pills ginger tea and obviously ginger ale that's right one of my favorite combinations to help prevent seasickness has actually ginger ale a little bit of fresh hair on deck at the Sun and obviously a much more holistic approaches to just not think about it as crazy as that sounds it actually goes a long way and when we say not to think about it try watching a show go along dad go play a game going to water slides go hang out in the pool just try to take your mind off of the big elephant in the room which is being seasick and focus on something a little different and so the last tip that we have for you is if you like essential oils I would recommend packing peppermint and lavender oil they will both help in settling your stomach and kind of clearing your mind oh now we are putting out good stuff here these are good tips man if you could combine all these tips I bet you would almost make yourself foolproof to getting seasick on a cruise but let's leave you guys with the question of the day have you ever been seasick on a cruise this is your first time
