Ive done this one. I dont get sea sick, but that sea can get quite rough, lots of up and down.

I get seasick very easily. Travel by ferry a lot.

Have a light, plain snack just before you board, take the pill as soon as you get on board, find somewhere to lie down (cabin ideally, otherwise take a sleeping bag and find a quiet corner of the boat). You should have no problems.

The pills are not much use if you wait until you feel sick to take them.

I don't get seasick, but tip is drink Ginger beer, ginger will calm the stomach.

I get seasick, especially down in the bowels of the boat. I try to stay on deck so I can see the movement of the boat as well as feel it/sense it. Good luck!
Shoes give me endorphins, endorphins make me happy, happy models don't stab photographers!

Do you get carsick?
If you do, you may get seasick.
If you don't, you probably won't.

Supposedly your inner ear is what senses which way up you are. All the motion of the ship disorientates this, and makes you feel sick.

I'm usually OK, but I have felt a little off in the past. If you manage to lie down and sleep you can usually avoid it. Alternatively, it's supposed to help if you get yourself a window seat and look out... since seeing the horizon stops you from feeling so disorientated. There's no shortage of fresh air at sea either, so going outside to have a bit of a breather may be a good idea (well, if it's not too stormy!!).
