Question:
Never had motion sickness until last time I was on a boat two years ago. I was below deck in a 15-ft. dive boat getting thrown about as I tried to squeeze on my wetsuit for a dive. Once we reached our destination my equilibrium was affected. After I got my gear and tank on, I was sick. I finally got in the water and hung onto a line. Was fine in the water, but it started again when I got back on the boat.
My question is how much movement can I expect on a 96-ft. boat? Will it rock all over the place if the water is a little rough? Or is 96 feet so big it's not usually a problem at sea? I'm considering a trip from U.S. to South America.

OMG, the larger the boat, the worse the sea sickness, I'm lucky (I'm told) I get the good kind of sea sickness where after I puke, I feel better, (relieved). Take "Bonine" an hour before you "Board", it's in a candy form, no water needed, avoid alcohol, and don't go below deck until you get your "Sea Legs", stay toward the bow, eyes fixed on the horizion, don't look at the bow waves, "Bonine" is good for 24 hours, by then you should be ok, for God sakes stay away from the exhaust of the ship, Diesel fumes take on the most disgusting smell when mixed with salt air, it's one of the things thats really helps you PUKE FAST on a ship if you get a few whiffs of it, smells like Dog Sh-t, and oil burning together.maintenance manual for hurth reduction gear?
Easy cures :1)Take Dramamine.
2) Go to the very front of the boat, and face forward.
Stay there until the problem goes away.
This works great.

Unlike some things, size does not matter with motion sickness!What is the name of a ship's lowest deck?
Get ready to rock and roll! I was on a Navy Frigate that was 453 ft long and 45 ft wide and if we got in some rough seas some of the toughest salts would spew.I never got sick, The trick for me was to keep moving(can be dangerous) and don't look at anything to long.
Eat some crackers, drink some milk, take Dramamine and just have fun
I'm looking for a WW2 Polish Merchant ship SS Tobruk British Registered?
you can definately expect to be getting some pitch and roll on a 96' boat if the seas get to im guessing anywhere from 4-6 foot...that just a guess. I was on a 1000' ship for seven days and we experienced 12' seas and it was enough to rock that ship...take some dramamine an hour or 2 before you even step foot on the boat.You can get seasickness on even larger ships.
I was below decks on a Great Lakes ferry once, and as long as we were in smooth, calm water (leaving dock, going out between the piers), I was just fine.

96 ft. is not so big in the ocean. talk to your doctor about "scopalamine". hope i spelled that right. it looks like a round band-aid and is placed behind the ear. works great. most sea-sickness is caused by "fear". some, of course, is caused by "ear". hope you have good weather on your trip and don't need anything.info on a steel usn ships bell 9"x10"?
