Today, it's day two of my two-month summer job on a Mediterranean cruise ship. I'm incredibly seasick, and the ship is still docked. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I boarded my very first cruise, in order to relax and unwind for week-long vacation. However, when I got on the ship, I found out that I get seasick REALLY easily. FML
Today, I returned from a 5-day cruise for my senior spring break, filled with gorgeous sorority girls from all over the country. I was seasick the whole time. FML
Today, I found out that my most amazing spring break ever, will be spent stuck on a ship with my ex. It's been almost two years, and he still isn't over me. Yay. This cruise shall be fun. FML
Today, I overcame my debilitating seasickness long enough to have a shower and take a breath of fresh air on the cruise ship balcony. Then as a reward, a passing seagull shat on my head. FML
Today, I was dumped by my boyfriend. We're currently sharing a room on a cruise ship. FML
Today, while working security at a welfare office, I had to listen as a claimant gushed about her upcoming Caribbean cruise. I work two jobs and haven't had a vacation since 2006. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went on a 1 day cruise to the Bahamas. It happened to be on the same day of the worst sailing conditions. We spent 6 hours throwing up together. Him into the sink, and me into the toilet. We spent $200 to see the inside of our cabin's bathroom. FML
Today, I'm on spring break on a tropical island, visiting family I hadn't seen in years. They invited me out to eat, and won't take no for an answer. All of this would be wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that I've been vomiting to the point of expelling bile and dry heaving for the last two days. FML
Today, I work on a cruise ship, and I just learned that we have a morgue on board. How did I learn that? It's right next to the crew laundry room, and I opened the wrong door. It was occupied. FML
Today, I arrived for the two-week scuba diving vacation I spent months saving, planning, and looking forward to. Today, I also developed an ear infection and can't scuba dive for 2 weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

why would you get a job on a cruise ship if you get sea sick? unless you didn't know. you could always call in (sea) sick and slip off the boat...

I think there's a pressure point in your wrist that you can massage to ease sea-sickness. You should try that. It may make your trip more enjoyable. However, you should bring motion-sickness pills the next time you take a trip like that.

I get very seasick, also, and I made it through a 2 week cruise fine. Dramamine (the type that lasts 24 hours) taken daily made me not ever feel sick as long as I took it RIGHT on time. So get some!

Quit with the drama. Get with the Dramamine.

Non drowsy Dramamine should help you hope it gets better

Go to the doc and get scopolamine patch behind ear. Stays on for 3 days, and by then hopefully you'll be used to rocking ship. I hope you feel better and get to enjoy it!

Sounds like part of it is in your head. Either way talk to your boss about getting some medicine to help you with your sea sickness until you get your sea legs

There are different climates where this could be the warmest time of year. Maybe this person does not have class, at least for now.
