After consulting with a crew member, they went to the lowest deck possible (in the crew area) and sat dead center. No motion at all... A crew member gave me a great tip for quelling a rolling stomach. Eat apples and crackers (order from room service) which absorbs the acid in the stomach. Do not drink anything or lie down. Go out on deck and stare at the horizon. Works great. Also, pregnant mothers can try ginger (buy it fresh in the supermarket).

Great tips! The looking at the horizon is the best one that works for me. I do that for a few minutes and I am fine. I never thought about getting a room in the center of the ship, that would make sense. You wouldn't be swaying back and forth like you would in the outer rooms. Thanks, Doug!

I would also say not getting all worked up about it is key. Many times people sych themselves up that they will get sick. I have been on several cruises and rarely are the seas rough like during my navy days on a small frigate. Cruiselines make it a point to avoid rough seas! They know if you are sick that you wont gamble or drink... which means less revenue! Also, most ships have stabilizers....so relax and enjoy! The tips are great.
