What happens if you get sea sick?
Don’t be embarrased! If you get sea sick try to stay outside of the cabin and keep your peripheral vision on the horizon. Make sure to drink plenty of water & stay out of the sun, and if possible, bring motion sickness remedies like ginger candies, pressure wristbands, or over-the-counter medication. The good news is the discomfort normally goes away as soon as you’re back on land.
