Day at Sea Blog

We are now on the return trip from Alaska, with our next stop at Victoria, British Columbia. Today is our last day at sea and I am interested to see if the seas are as bad as they were on the way out here.

We didn’t have a reason to get up early, so we simply didn’t. We got up around 10:00 AM, had breakfast and coffee in the room and just existed. Sea sickness started to show itself in the mid-afternoon, and the only place that we could hide from it was either lying down in bed, or in the hot tub. I spent a good portion of the afternoon in the hot tub, and napping.

It’s not  the wild type of sea sickness you see in the movies. It’s like gravity is pushing down on your head and shoulders as the ship rocks back and forth. I literally feel heavy. It has affected most of our day, I don’t want to call it a waste of a day but it was. I wonder if we were on a larger ship if we wouldn’t have felt this bad. We didn’t even try to venture out to a sitting spot, we just stayed in the room and only resurfaced for food.
