Answer 1

Jessica, very few people get seasick and there is no reason to believe that you will be one of them.  If you get claustrophibic go out on deck.  The deck with the pool is usually wide open and you will lose that feeling.  Have fun.

Answer 2

I think you are just so excited about going on a cruise, your mind is racing. I do the same thing and can't sleep well for a few days before. Then while on the ship all is well and I sleep like a baby. If you do not get car sick, then most likely you will not get sea sick, but you can always buy something to help you over the hump right on the ship just in case or bring some stuff from home. Most cruises you go on go to lots of ports so the feeling of being trapped never really happens and I have been on a ship for 29 days before, no problem. Have a great cruise, and don't worry. You will have a great time.

RELAX!!  You probably won't get seasick - the ship is so big and built so that you barely even know you're on the water - and there is plenty to do on a cruise to keep your mind off anything that might upset.  Just go and have a wonderful time!!

Answer 4

You are probably just anxious about going on the cruise because you are getting an adrenaline rush of excitement and emotions.  If you didnt get sea sick before then the chances of now are slim to none.  Plus, the seas tend to be calmer during the summer months.  I have been on a cruise with only 12 decks and 2600 people as well as a 15 deck ship with nearly 4000 people and I never once felt closterphobic or overly crowded or cramped.  There will be plenty of room.  You are more likely however, to have more fun on this cruise since you are older and will get to hang out in the teen clubs and do a little more.  If you are still worried about being sick then take some ginger root (it eases motion sickness) or get some of those ear patches before you go.  It is always a good idea to have something on hand for a "just in case".  That way if something does happen you wont spend a fortune at the infirmiry.  Relax, take a breather, and pack your bags.  You will be fine and have a blast!

Answer 5

You most likely will not get seas sick. It is pretty hard to get sea sick with the big ships, and their stabilizers. Trust me, the ship will not be too small. There will be plenty of room for everyone. You will be fine. Cruises are amazing, and you will have on eof the best times of your life.
