There is nothing worse that feeling travel sick when you're stuck on a cruise, in fact its something that puts many people off booking one. there is a sliding scale of how badly people can suffer from motion sickness, but it is never very pleasant. It can bring your holiday to and end pretty quickly and make you want to walk home. So what are the best ways to prevent you luxury cruises going wrong?

1.) Position of your cabin. If you ensure that the person booking your cruise is aware that you are a motion sickness sufferer, they should have the power to locate you accommodation cabin near the centre of the ship. This will minimise the amount of movement that your cabin experiences, even on steady river cruises and will dramatically reduce the chances of feeling ill.

2.) Eating ginger. Ginger has been used to combat travel sickness for thousands of years. It has within it a number of different natural chemicals that inhibit the gag-reflex of the stomach, there reducing your chances of throwing up. You may however still feel a little nauseous as ginger doesn't prevent this.

3.) Walking about. It might sound basic but often works. The movement that we experience on boat is completely new to most people's brains and this is why we suffer. If you're up and about and able to walk around the whole boat for a little while you movement sensory organs will begin to be more comfortable with the sensations and you feel much better

4.) Motion sickness tablets. This is generally considered the most power form of travel sickness reduction and for this reason it is the most popular. These tablets reduce the amount of signals sent to the brain from movement sensors around the body, having the effect of minimizing nausea. This is also why they can make you feel drowsy, so be careful taking them before swimming. You should take motion sickness tablets ideally a couple of hours before you start the cruise to allow the ingredients to get into the blood stream. This will mean that you’ll be protected against sickness from the minute you step on the boat.
