Solstice and motion sickness
Several people commented to me that there was something about the
Solstice's motion- particularly in the first few days- that gave them more motion sickness-type grief than other ships. I don't get motion sick easily, and didn't have any problems. Did anyone else notice unusual or odd movement aboard the Solstice? Also- are the stabilizers "tunable" or "adjustable" aboard a cruise ship. For instance, are they "dialed in" over time? -- Nonny Some people are like a Slinky: not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. |

Hi Nonny, We did not experience any motion at all on the Solstice; in fact I was puzzled that anyone complained. To me, it seemed a rather smooth sailing. --Jean |

We both thought the Solstice handled the seas just fine, but then we never get sea sick. People have to realize that it is a ship on the ocean and there is going to be a little movement. sue |

I read reports about a lot motion on other forums. It is sounding like it does not effect those of us who don't get sea sick but those who do get sea sick feel the motion more than they do normaly. -- Charles |

I may not get sea sick, but I do know when the ship is rocking and on this cruise it was NOT rocking. For a few minutes one day we felt a jerky movement, right, left the right and left again. This felt like someone goofed and made a correction, maybe turned too quickly. Other then that minute or two the ship was very smooth. When we were on the Carnival Legend at Halloween, now then the seas were very rough and there were barf bags all over the ship. Even though I don't get seasick, I knew the ship was not very smooth in the rough seas. sue |

One in our group has a fairly "tender" tummy and experienced sea sickness (perhaps) for the first time. Other than that, nobody else had any problems. The comment was actually made to me by others than our own group. Personally, I did detect motion. However, I actually enjoy motion and consider it a neutral-to-positive experience on a ship. This is particularly true when sleeping. One person speculated to me that with the Solstice being so new, that they might still be experimenting with the stabilizer system to tune it, or dial it in. That was the reason for the question following my post. It makes sense that a stabilization system for such a new and massive ship might need tuning. -- Nonny Elected officials should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers.

Last cruise I forgot I was on a ship and there is little Renee saying WOW this is really rocking? and I said ROCKING whats Rocking? it ws smotth as silk. But the Solstice does have Staabilizer probs I been told! |

On the Solstice, I found it to be such smooth sailing that it wasn't needed at all. Deck 9 rocks, but doesn't roll. LOL Ermalee |

Solstice and motion sickness
[Default] Thus spake Nonnymus :
Several people commented to me that there was something about the Solstice's motion- particularly in the first few days- that gave them more motion sickness-type grief than other ships. I don't get motion sick easily, and didn't have any problems. Did anyone else notice unusual or odd movement aboard the Solstice? Also- are the stabilizers "tunable" or "adjustable" aboard a cruise ship. For instance, are they "dialed in" over time? Well, can't address the first question. But, the stabs are dynamic. What they do is to sense the motion and deploy appropriately to correct it. Sea trials are supposed to work out the issues, but this doesn't always happen. The stabs depend on feedback to work properly. Also, they are slow, so sudden changes get slow responses. -- - dillon I am not invalid Hi, I'm Michael Phelps and Olympic Gold isn't the only Gold I'm thinking of.
