Avfrattner Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Upon reading a topic about sea sickness I thought about after my first cruise and how I got land sickness. God it was horrible especially in the shower, it felt like I was in rough seas in the damm shower hahahaha. Even a week after the cruise! What was yours like and do super seasoned cruisers still get it? sammy79 1 Quote

Sitting at the desk working I would feel the room shifting from side-to-side. Yes, it could last up to a week. So annoying. After I had been cruising for a while I no longer got it. It will be interesting to see that, after a year of no cruising, this syndrome will return. This is a great science experiment ! Quote
jticarruthers Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 I am extremely sick of the land at the moment, desperately in need of not being on land. I do remember getting "landsick" after a few cruises, my solution was just to cruise more often sammy79, emmef and WAAAYTOOO 2 1 Quote
smokeybandit Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 I used to get it for a day or so after disembarking. Haven't had it in years though. Quote
sk8erguy1978 Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 "Stillness illness" my wife gets it, not bad, just random moments of feeling like she's still out to sea. I've had it happen a handful of times at best. She is also more sensitive to getting sea sick than I am, if that matters. Quote
rjac Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 I would GLADLY welcome a case of land sickness right about now!! WAAAYTOOO and SPS 2 Quote
Jill Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 My husband had the flu about 2 weeks before a cruise several years ago. By the time we boarded, he had that left over head congestion. (*he had been fever free for 8 days prior to sailing.) He ended up with vertigo for several months afterwards. Really messed up his inner ear. He was fine the whole time on board but as soon as were home it started. It was awful. WAAAYTOOO and rjac 2 Quote
ChessE4 Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 My physician printed off exercises I could do in bed to re-train my inner ear (turning side-to-side in a particular sequence). Only happened to me once in about 15 cruises. So it is a well-documented phenomenon. Quote
Sharla Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 I used to get this after a day at Six Flags. Would close my eyes and feel like I was riding. It's happened once or twice after a cruise, but never lasted very long. Such a strange feeling, though! Quote
Neaxan Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 I only had this once - after a week-long Med cruise where we didn't get off the ship in any port. Land sickness lasted for several weeks, I felt horrible. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure it was due to the ship (AIDAperla) as I had no problems after the Symphony TA - that had way more movement and we were onboard for 8 or 9 days straight. Quote
sammy79 Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Can you even feel the boat swaying on an oasis ship? I did feel wobbly for a few days after our last Disney cruise. Quote

SpeedNoodles Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 My land sickness tends to last a long time. 3-4 weeks. I just deal with it by reminding myself what an awesome time I had (seriously, I've found nothing that relieves it, I just accept that it's a thing with me). WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

You can feel it, though I think it's less noticeable compared to smaller ships. Feeling the pitching was nothing compared to seeing the real extent, especially on the jogging track looking back to the Aqua Theatre. sammy79 1 Quote

emmef Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 I have gotten this after riding water slides for 6 hours. Usually it goes away after a night's rest. Quote
SPS Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 I came to this post expecting it to be about how we are all "sick" of only being on "land" for the past year. WAAAYTOOO and DD474 2 Quote

What was yours like and do super seasoned cruisers still get it? After many, many cruises, I still get "land sickness" when I return home. Sometimes it's worse than others, with really no rhyme or reason. It generally peaks in about however many days I was onboard...for example, if it was only a 4 day cruise, then the land sickness peaks at day 4 after the cruise. It sucks, but it's worth it to cruise. I think I was just meant to live on the water! SpeedNoodles 1 Quote
