Cruise 🚢

Well, I’m I’ve just returned from my first ever cruise. Have been wanting to go on one for about 20 years but because I have suffered from motion sickness in the past I’ve always been a bit hesitant. Decided it had to happen sooner or later so started with just a short 4 day cruise along the east coast.
The great news is I didn’t get sick! Had all the tablets ready and only needed them for the first day. Slowly reduced the number of supplements and by the end I didn’t need anything at all. Perfect weather also helped with smoother seas I guess. So all of that meant I was able to enjoy the great food selections and activities on board. Even won a medal at table tennis. Overall had a fantastic time and will be planning another cruise soon.
Now I may become a full-time cruiser! 🚢
 
Cruises are the best holidays ever! We’ve had the pleasure of many.
Definitely go again if you can, but avoid going over the ditch, when we did that trip even half the crew were off sick, it was 😳

Congratulations, I absolutely love cruising, its allowed me to visit every continent. I'm not sure who you cruised with, but I do small ship cruising, less than 200 passengers. And have made many cruising buddies that have become very good friends. So Mikev sail away and enjoy the wonders of the seas.
 
I've done a lot of cruises , one of my favourites was actually a 4 day cruise from Sydney to Moreton Island.
I too was always concerned of getting sick and the only time I did get sick was when we did a cruise to Tasmania and gad a room with no window or balcony. I usually go for a balcony room
