As Paul Harvey might say, from the for what it's worth department, some folks suffer from motion sickness in an automobile, while others are practically oblivious to the motion of a small vessel in 10 foot seas. At other times, at least in my experience, something else is at work when an attack of motion sickness comes on. I have been deep sea fishing many times in pretty rough seas and had never experienced motion sickness until one Saturday a few years back. We left the dock at 7 AM in a 36 foot vessel in relatively calm gulf waters. By the time we got out to the first reaf, I was fighting to keep from heaving my guts out. I remained nauseous until we returned to the dock. It has never happened since; go figure. I do think that Grand class ships seem to have a lot of motion, especially pitch. This is somewhat strange given the size of the ship. I recall being in the lap pool one morning and the waves in the pool were enormous due to the ship pitching back and forth. I thought it to be much fun!

[QUOTE="Cruzman, post: 714977"] As Paul Harvey might say, from the for what it's worth department, some folks suffer from motion sickness in an automobile, while others are practically oblivious to the motion of a small vessel in 10 foot seas. At other times, at least in my experience, something else is at work when an attack of motion sickness comes on. I have been deep sea fishing many times in pretty rough seas and had never experienced motion sickness until one Saturday a few years back. We left the dock at 7 AM in a 36 foot vessel in relatively calm gulf waters. By the time we got out to the first reaf, I was fighting to keep from heaving my guts out. I remained nauseous until we returned to the dock. It has never happened since; go figure. I do think that Grand class ships seem to have a lot of motion, especially pitch. This is somewhat strange given the size of the ship. I recall being in the lap pool one morning and the waves in the pool were enormous due to the ship pitching back and forth.
