Simple fact: there is no special food against seasickness. Just eat normal food and try to get a good night of sleep.
Your brain needs to adapt it self, seasickness is caused because the brain detects motion while the surrounding seems not to be moving, thats why looking out of a window helps. If you use medicines you hamper the brain to adapt. Most people grow out of seasickness after a couple of days.
Try to avoid the forward, aft and upper parts of a vessel. Also try to avoid strong smells it can trigger puking. Last tip: if need to puke, try to puke downwind (the side where the wind is flowing to) otherwise you feel even more misserable. Have fun D

I never get seasick, but if you go on cruises regularly and you suffer from seasickness, may I respectfully suggest you choose another way of spending your leisure time. I know I am probably an unfeeling brute, but I have lost patience with people who bore on about this - if you know it's going to make you ill, and it's supposedly for pleasure rather than a necessity to get from a to b, then you'll get little sympathy from me. Obviously some people need to travel by sea, either as a part of their work or simply as transport from a to b, and for such people I have enormous sympathy.

As with any medication (let us ignore the ginger and Sea Bands) it is very important to read the label and/or present a list of the meds you are on and ask to speak to the pharmacist. Also. (obviously) what is available over the counter in one country might be behind the counter in another or require a prescription from a doctor.
I think it is best to be prepared and have the necessary stuff in your carry-on before you leave home. you may not need it, but a few $$ of prevention is worth every penny of a missed vacation day or two.

I bring Bonine when I'm going on cruise. Heard it makes you less drowsy. Thank god so far I haven't had to use it. I like the bigger ships cause they don't make me sick as the smaller boats do. Ahh you're videos are making me miss cruising. I go once every year but I'm saving to fly to Europe this year so not sure I'll get to a cruise till next year. And how do you know your wife didn't get sick from food vs being sea sick on the big ship? Are there different signs to look out for?

do you folks have any suggestions about what to look for if you wanted to go on a vacation with a touring company? for example if you want to go to Italy or the holy lands with some group that will narrate and take you through your trip? do you have suggestions about what you would look for in touring group? what you should expect when it comes to the cost? And any up charges? things like that. Thanks

A very unconventional but effective method against any kind of travel sickness is wearing a little pouch filled with Himalayan Salt (say one or two ounces) over your solarplexus area, the subtle energies of the salt help the solarplexus chakra (energy center. According to some studies this alone helps in about 80 percent of the cases. Ginger is also fantastic, as well as the sea-band.

The best prescription medicine for motion sickness is a nausea medicine called Zofran. It can be taken once every 8 hours. The patch is called scopolamine. It is worn for 72 hours. The downside is side effects of dry mouth, dizziness, constipation, blurry vision, and for you men who have prostates, urinary retention, as in not being able to pee when you want to.

Actually I am very glad you did this. We are going on a cruise in about 6 months. A friend that will be part of the group gets everything. I am going to refer her to this video. I'm hoping she won't because we're going to be on a huge ship. I take the bands just in case, but so far I've been fine. Thanks for doing this. It's nice to know these things BEFORE leaving

Mark: Finally you up load this video and giving me some answers. I have never going on a cruise because my biggest problem is seasick, dizzy, headache, nausea, and throw up.
I take Dramamine but the side effect worst, I feel can't keep my eyes open, weak, and sleepy.
That is why the idea taking cruise is nice but I can't. too bad!
