Question

After a cruise why do I still feel the ship's motion?

Answer 1

When you go on a ship's cruise you must gain your "sea legs." Often people get seasick until they do. We land lubbers are used to a stationary platform (the earth) to walk on and the balance mechanism within our inner ear (channels filled with fluid and tiny hairs that sense motion) is used to only compensating for our tendency to fall over while standing. At sea our balance mechanism must also get used to compensating for our tendency to fall over on a moving platform, especially one that cycles with large rolling waves. When the cruise is over and we are back on dry land, our brain has to re-learn that we are now on a stationary platform. For a while it still compensates for non-existing waves (so you won't fall over!).

Answer 2

that happens a lot, kind of like when you get off an airplane you feel it for a few hours, don't worry, you will get back to your normal self, if it really bothers you and doesn't go away, ask a doctor what to do
