Video footage that reaffirms why I always have a balcony cabin when I am cruising. Got to be one one of the ultimate thrill rides though. I came through the Bay of Biscay on the Independence of the Seas when it was a bit choppy a few years ago, and whilst we had a bit of a sway (But nothing compared with the P & O ship following behind us) it was a flat calm compared with this trip on the Anthem which is itself a big ship. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...s-in-terrifying-footage/ar-AAodVIV?li=AAnZ9Ug
My one and only cruise consisted of 16 days, the calmest 'sea day' of which was a force 5. Luckily we were roughly at the ship's centre of gravity and high up, so it wasn't the bowel emptying experience of those poor souls in steerage, but with many of the visual cues of movement (most of the time these are all those normally connected with a hotel), the feedback could be quite bizarre, especially honestly and literally levitating slowly off the bed. Despite my pleading, the chaplain refused point blank to exorcise my missus. Even as a precaution.
That would be enough for me to lock myself in the bathroom. I really don't travel well. I once got sea sick on the Dover to Calais
I was a rally navigator for five years and was car sick for every single minute of it. I tried everything: drugs, homeopathy, magnets, acu-pressure... It got to the point where the marshals at the controls would take three steps back when they recognised our car coming in... But I have never suffered motion sickness at any other time (except once in a Citroen BX... but then you would, wouldn't you...)
