When will my kitchen stop swaying???

[snewsie]

I just returned from my first short cruise (4 day to Bahama) and WOW...I still have that feeling that I am swaying! We had minor rough seas the first and last night but I didn't think I would feel like this 3 days afterward? When will it stop?

lol..yes it will. Some people keep taking the seasickness pills a few days after returning from a cruise.

 

here is an older thread about it

LOL. surely you shld have your land legs back by now.

[WorldCruzer]

And when you step out of the shower do you still lift your leg up even though you dont have to?:D

[zaandam_2]

it's an actual medical condition, called mal de debarque. click here to read more.

In all seriousness, it took me almost a full week last time. I got progressively better but I could still feel the sway for quite a while to the point of getting nervous it was going to be permanent. It should start getting better soon.

[alphakitty]

It took 3 weeks for this swaying feeling to go away after my last cruise. I'm leaving again in 4 days....woo hoo! I hope it doesn't last that long this time, but it won't stop me from cruising.

maybe when i get home in a couple of weeks i'll see if i can order room service and stateroom (turndown and cleaning) service. :p

 

i'll send the kids to camp carnival, and have DH take over as room steward, head waiter and beverage server. i'll sit in the backyard, on my lounge chair, in front of my ig pool w/ the cover on, water on top frozen from these deep freeze temps, and slap on the spf 15 while ordering a bucket of beer. ahhh to dream...

 

too bad that won't fly:p :D

This past Christmas I kept telling my husband..."the ship is rockin." Come to find out I had an ear infection.:eek:

 

I'm sure yours is simply that you have earned your sea legs, and now you don't want to give dem back.

[broberts]

While I don't have a serious problem on-board I do have a difficult time ashore and for several days after a cruise. I've gotten in the habit of taking Bonamine from the day before a cruise through to 3-4 days following the cruise. This seems to resolve the problem for me.

Good suggestion..........best one I've heard in quite awhile.:D

[snewsie]

okay...those were some good replies! :)

I do have to wonder...I had a lot of pressure pain/popping in my ears on my flight pre/post cruise. Maybe there is something going on with that that makes it worse for me. Yesterday I sat down at the computer and felt that gentle swaying..in the meantime...my son left the fan running in the bathroom (which is on the other side of where I was) and for a moment I thought we were docking at port. :) We had a very very forward room and heard that "ennnnmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" clunk everytime we docked. By the way...what was that?

Thanks for the help.....I'm going to see if there is a show going on the family room and stop by the gift shop now....:D

wow! So sorry; maybe your sea legs haven't morphed back into land legs :)

the bow thrusters and docking/anchoring stuff

We sailed the Conquest Jan 21-28 and it was Thursday Feb 1 (day 5) before my rooms stopped rocking. It's almost a drunk feeling. It's weird because I felt fine onboard and in port.

Hope it stops soon.

[golf43]

I love that feeling. Makes me feel like I am still in motion with the Ocean.

 

One time that helped me was to stay awake for about 24 hours. Then sleep for awhile.

[vacruizer]

Took me about four days to stop swaying. I probably looked drunk to the people at the office. DH thought I was crazy - he had no after effects at all.

[dansu]

I had to put my head down on my desk a few times at work last week, as it felt like I was still asea..but alas when I my eyes I wasn't...aghhh:eek:

[truecruiser]

Can't believe how many of you truly have this problem! Looks like only World Cruiser and myself were the only ones to take it lighthearted and put a fun little spin on it.

 

i really thought it was more of joke, as i have never heard of someone not getting their land legs back w/in hours -- minimum. i'm a boater, so the land leg thing isn't even noticable to me, but when people who don't boat very often come out on our boat they sometimes have this problem, but it's gone rather quickly...and my boat isn't 922', 110,000 tons LOL :p

The correct name for this condition is ( INEEDANOTHERCRUISE):) It's not a serious condition, but are just one of the many signs of the addiction you have developed.;)

 

Seriously though it takes a few days or weeks for some to get over it..It happens to me everytime i get off a cruise, sometimes when I stand up to quick or close my eyes when in the shower.

[we2cruze]

I've noticed that the longer my cruise, the longer my post-cruise swaying syndrome. I've also noticed that it effects me less on the bigger ships. It's really pretty funny and kinda takes me back to the cruise experience.

[phlydude]

I found I feel it a few days after when sitting and standing from a seated position.
