rebeccad Thank you! My seafaring legs are not too sturdy either, but that is probably a small price to pay to get to see the Antarctic!

rebeccad Thank you! My seafaring legs are not too sturdy either, but that is probably a small price to pay to get to see the Antarctic! Exactly. Though I don’t want to downplay how bad seasickness can be. I went 72 hours without eating or even drinking much of anything, and if it had gone on any longer I’d have had to check into the sickbay, I think, because of the dehydration. So I am glad to have done it, but I don’t think I’d do it again

That's rough! I might have set a new record for the ship. I tried to convince them to give me a prize—like a bottle of ginger ale :D And then there was the time I was sitting on the throne (and probably puking) and a nice little wave tossed me into the shower!

Plus for the seasick people coming after you, there would be something to aim for, a twinkle of light in between visits over the railing! :D

I doubt it would have helped much during the worst of it—it didn’t on the Cook Straight Ferry last year. But it sure went down well when I was recovering (but I had to buy my own :D) .

How many days did it take for that after effect to go away?

How many days did it take for that after effect to go away? I think it was fully 2 weeks, maybe even a little more. It faded gradually away, so I didn’t really notice the exact moment. Long enough to make me wonder if it was permanent—like some kind of tinnitus.
