Do not confuse apprehension with fear..

I felt like this on my first cruise at 55 .. but I used mind switching…instead of being filled with dread..I told myself I was being set free to explore a new experience.. when you see nothing but open water you realise just how beautiful this world really is…observe the light.. it is absolutely magical .. and you are in good company.. with good food.. it is an experience few get to enjoy…

stay strong.. you can prove to yourself that fear is a waste of thought… please try to enjoy yourself.

I’m scared I’ll get sick from the waves and the food

Most ships have stabilisers…

Take some raw ginger with you or ask the ships chef… carry chewing gum..just nibble a little when you feel a little queasy.. sea sickness is a one off… your body adjusts to it very quickly but avoid fish based food or rich sauces for the first few days until you get your sealegs.. and remember to hydrate…… it’s easy to lose electrolytes too…
