Getting seasick is no fun, but cruising is too good to pass up. If you want to dodge seasickness on your cruise, here’s a tip: avoid cabins with balconies. But why?
Even though cruise ships are built to keep things smooth, it can still be tough for those who get queasy.
According to sleep guru Rebecca, as reported by the Daily Star, choosing the right spot to catch some Z’s onboard is key.
“Cruise ships are designed to be as steady as possible, but the idea of snoozing out on the open sea can mess with your sleep,” she adds.
When it comes to picking your sleeping spot on a cruise ship, there’s more to think about than just the price tag, as Express points out.
Forget About Balconies
Sure, balcony cabins offer killer ocean views. You might even catch a glimpse of dolphins playing in the waves from your room.
But Rebecca reckons these cabins aren’t the best bet for folks who tend to feel seasick.
Surround Yourself with Soft Stuff
Besides steering clear of balconies, Rebecca suggests stocking up on all things cushy to ensure a good night’s sleep.
“Make your bed a cozy nest to guarantee sweet dreams. It might seem obvious, but don’t hesitate to ask the ship’s crew for extra pillows, blankets, and mattress toppers if you need ’em,” she advises.
Get Used to the Rocking
Cruise ships are pretty steady, with hardly any rocking. So unless the weather’s gone wild, you shouldn’t feel too much movement.
