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

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 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, 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

How did you not know that you get seasick that easily...

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...

Take some meds, it'll help

I just got back from a cruise vacation from where I discovered I'm incredibly prone to seasickness. I recommend Dramine which worked numbers for me. Also, I had some luck with the bracelets they sell on the ship. One other suggestion which may sound funny but did work was rocking with the ship. If you're waiting for the Dramine to kick in, go to the corner of your room and rock in rhythm with the ship until the medication starts working. Good luck and at least you have an interesting job!

There are a few over-the-counter meds to help with that. Maybe you should check into it. the main one I know of is called Dramamine. Good luck

If you knew that you get seasick, then you are just a moron to take the job o.O

Big assumption to think the op already knew that, how did you know?

You guys do realize that FMLs take a while to get posted after they are submitted right? For all we know, this could have been submitted during the summer.
