Motion sickness, commonly referred to as "seasickness," is a distressing condition that affects many travelers on cruise ships. It occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals about movement from the inner ear, eyes, and skin, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and cold sweats.
Seasickness is a common ailment that has plagued seafarers for centuries. As early as the 1st century AD, Roman physician Aulus Cornelius Celsus described its symptoms and suggested remedies. Despite advances in medical knowledge, seasickness remains a prevalent issue, affecting up to 50% of cruise passengers.
