- Other than motion sickness tablets, try these more natural ways to combat sea sickness. 1.) Book a cabin in the middle of the boat. This will minimize the amount of movement that your cabin experiences and will dramatically reduce the chances of feeling ill. 2.) Eat ginger. Ginger has been a motion sickness preventative for many years. A good number of contributing ingredients work to intercept the signals from the brain to the stomach, stopping the natural gag-reflex action. 3.) Walk about. It sounds like something that wouldn't work, but it does. The unique movement that the brain experiences when on a boat is something it is not accustomed to, therefore it reacts badly. If you stay upright and walk around the boat for awhile, you will start to get your 'sea legs', your brain will begin to understand the movement, and you will feel better. Visit White Star Luxury Cruises, where cruise consultants can handcraft your luxury cruise to make your very own personal itinerary. Tim Greyton ID2196 - We just returned from an 18-day cruise. We booked late, within the last week, and online. The itinerary quoted was 'ports of call' only. The duration at several ports of call was merely hours: 6 hours shortest, 8 hours longest. Not long enough to see anything UNLESS you splurge on the expensive tours. Traveller beware - check the time in port carefully, we would have enjoyed the trip more if we had more than a few hours in port. A. Greenwald ID52 - Taking a cruise travel vacation during the busy times of the year can cost you a lot of money. If you want to save money on a cruise travel vacation and to find great deals for cruise vacations, don't try to travel during the busy seasons. Check out when the off-peak seasons are for different cruise travel destinations. Early May to late September is off-season for Alaskan cruises. European cruises are cheapest before and after summer. Caribbean cruises have the best prices during the month of January. Do a bit of research on the popular times to travel and then plan your trip for an off-peak season.

There are always local tour operators - or hire a taxi for your group and make your own tour. You will save! JT Adventures JT Adventures ID399 - One way to obtain a cheap cruise is to go on a repositioning cruise. A repositioning cruise is where the cruise line sends the ships from one location at the end of the cruising season, to another part of the world for the start of another cruising season, such as ships that leave the Caribbean and sail to Alaska for the start of the Alaska cruise season in May, then sail back to the Caribbean in September. A repositioning cruise is a great way to get a one-way sailing opportunity at a discount, because the cruise lines don't want to send the ship back empty. These sailings are usually two or three weeks, and take place in April, May, September, October, and November. The upside is a longer cruise at a cheaper price. The downside is that the cruise is only one-way, so you have to purchase one-way tickets to the point of departure and from the point of return. Also, repositioning cruises tend to make fewer stops at ports of call. But, if spending time at sea is what you're looking for, then a repositioning cruise might be for you. Ask your local travel agent, or check online. Check out Repositioning Cruises for more information.
