Yes, the body can be a pain in the behind. I love cruising but suffer from severe motion sickness. I get sick watching a car driving by. I was also hospitalized for Vertigo two months before my first cruise. After a couple of days of eating bad food and a CAT scan, it turns out that one of the small bones in my ear has attitude. In order to cruise without complete misery I must take a combination of drugs.

My Advice:

First, if you are taking any medications, please talk to your Doctor before taking over the counter motion sickness drugs.

Second, please try what ever you decide to take before your cruise. You do not want to find out on your dream vacation that the medication makes you tired, sick, or just does not work.

Trust me on this one. Thanks to my Dr. and I doing some pre-cruise medication testing, I had a great time.
