I work on cruise ships. If you only feel nausia and dont actually vomit, ask your doctor for prochlyperyzine it is actually used for morning sickness, but has got me through the last 10 years.

I done portsmouth to le havre overnight three weeks ago in crappy weather, I took some sea sick tabs, can't remember what brand, had 6 cans of strongbow and we had a cabin.

I slept most of the way lol

I get motion sickness a fair bit, can't do simulator rides etc

I researched this a few years back when I took my family on a cruise.

Root ginger, bought from a supermarket, cut into small squares and chewed. It really does work.
