You will not know until you try it. My mother said she could be seasick in the bath! Whereas I am never sick. Having a cabin is good because you will be away from others who are sick, and that makes you feel sick.

How much the boat rocks will depend on the weather.

You'll be fine jingl.
Take some stugeron with you, and take some before the ferry leaves. It works better if you take it before you feel any sickness coming on.smile

I have only ever done 'abroad' via aeroplanes or the tunnel, but I have seen online a little place near St Malo that I would like to go to. The obvious way of getting there is ferry from Portsmouth. This would be an overnight cruise (as they call it) We would have a cabin, so we could be sick in private lie down, and perhaps even sleep.

TBH I am totally freaked out about all that water under me shock I know you fly over water in an aeroplane, but it's not for so long. Can anyone tell me it will be ok?

Yours, shivering at the very thought, Totallycowardycustard.
