After three cruises, it hasn't been a problem. Solution: cruise more

Not after leaving a cruise. I did however have symptoms after getting off a train trip that was over 20,000 miles in a month long rail odyssey. I met a friend in Denver where I stayed for a few days before continuing my journey. I found myself swaying as I walked down the street as if I was still on the train.

I didn't feel ill, per se, but on both of my previous cruises, it took about a week for the ground under me to stop swaying after we returned to land. It's not fun getting that dizzy feeling every time I move my head.

While I've never been seasick or used pill/patches, almost always I feel a bit dizzy when returning from a cruise. It's like I keep expecting the house to move ~~~~

In all our cruises I have never had that problem. Also never have gotten sea sick. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones!
