Rough Seas Makes Michael Sea Sick for the 1st time onboard | Disney Fantasy | Cruise VLOG 3

[@katestrange]

I’ve never seen someone still be so sweet and positive whilst feeling sea sick and sleep deprived! I’ve been on choppy seas and it certainly gives you even more respect for mother nature and the power of water. Glad you got through it - can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode!! 👍

[@kingwagner1299]

Thats why I love watching you Michael, even with bad times you are always looking for the positive!!!

[@JourneyTogetherToday]

Luke Wagner you are so kind. Thank you

[@kellyweingart3692]

get well soon Michael ❤️

[@michaeld766]

Honestly, I love this video. Rough seas and sea sickness is real! This is what real traveling is like. Good show of character for still being positive and tired and barfy.

[@DisneyCruisers]

Bonine 👍🏻 Start taking it the day before and then once a day everyday of the cruise 😃😃

[@gloriahill6461]

Disney Cruisers yes! I swear by bonine!

[@Jacque_with_a_q]

Exactly what we do - and we take it for a couple days after the cruise to help getting our “land legs” back. Also, from our experience, the seas look more like a 3 out of 10 😉

[@kellygirl6911]

Yes! Bonine worked great for me on my first cruise when I had sea sickness, took it a half hour before The show, and I felt great at the show, and dinner💙

[@joycehardy9422]

It’s the only thing that works for me too.

[@Gigitravels2.0]

Yeah that's a bit better than Dramamine

[@brittanydiaz5465]

No need to apologize. I love that you were still sharing with us even though you were not feeling the best!

[@kcusa1973]

This is the Michael and vlog style your viewers miss so much. So sweet and enthusiastic all the while enduring sea sickness. Love the genuine conversation with us.

[@DaveKay]

It was definitely very rocky! Glad we made it!

[@susanlangford3340]

Our very first cruise was that way. Cast members admitting that they didn't get much sleep. I guess that broke us in so we always say, nothing else has come close to that rocky! The last night coming in to port, I got up about 2am and the toilets were turned off! I assume because the rocking was so bad.

[@CJsWorld]

Now those were some "Waves of Disney!"

[@CASmerk]

😆I see what you did there 🤣

[@AbbyDee1015]

Sorry that you weren’t feeling well. Nausea is one of the worst feelings. Thank you for staying so positive and upbeat; I can imagine that was difficult.

[@adaadler4215]

This vlog is an incredible teaching opportunity re how to approach some of life's challenges, your attitude re making the best out of a bad situation is a lesson and an inspiration Thank you

[@JourneyTogetherToday]

Ada Disney thank you 😊

[@charoescobarte7345]

We are on the same cruise and YES it's a rough one!

[@fblakley3563]

I went on my first Disney cruise (and first ever cruise of any kind) in April of last year and since I'm very prone to motion sickness in general, I got a prescription for scopolamine patches from my doctor before we left. My husband, who had been on a Disney cruise before, assured me that I wouldn't need the patches and that I wouldn't even feel the motion. It turned out that there were storms in the area on our sail away day, the sea was super choppy and I could in fact feel the motion as a result. Lol. I tried to make it without the patch but at dinner on the first night, I had to go back to the room and put a patch behind my ear. Within an hour or so, I was completely fine! I could feel the motion but it didn't bother me at all. The patch stayed on until I was snorkeling at Castaway and I accidentally loosened it when I was adjusting the strap on my snorkel mask. I put on another patch when we got back on the ship though and I was fine for the rest of the cruise. I will never cruise without those patches after that experience, they were a life saver!

[@danncarbaugh6252]

So sorry for you not feeling well. Even through the rough seas you brought us amazing content! We are learning so much along the way! Thanks for sharing and don't need to apologize and thank you for sharing even though you weren't feeling well. Here is too smoother seas in the future!♥️

[@coastie1119]

On my third cruise (I’ve been on 8) we had 10 metre swells and it was so bad they had to lock us all inside for safety reasons. People were bringing their mattresses out of their cabins and sleeping around the atrium midship it was that bad. The ship docked the following day with smashed windows, roof damage and a LOT of very sick travellers! But, it was all part of the experience of that cruise and we keep coming back for more - just as you will Michael 😁

[@jillmason2776]

that seems like an experience to see people bringing their mattresses out of their staterooms to sleep in the atrium midship

[@tamivoss3523]

Was that a Disney cruise?

[@joiviolette]

Oh my goodness Michael. I know you felt so bad in the begining. Such a horrible feeling being sea sick. I would have been incapacitated. I do not do well with that sort of thing. Plus the anxiety of moving about too! Sheesh! So gkad you felt better towards bruch and dinner. You have had a few things "happen" now while on the cruise! You lost your go pro, not being able to dock at cast away cay ,and now rough seas! Its all part of the experience for sure . Thank you so much michael for bringing us all the magic! 💖💖💖

[@walkingwithmellow5955]

Michael you are amazing! You could still find the positivity and magic even when you did not feel well!

[@hannahstone0619]

hi michael! i don’t normally leave comments (because my family and i watch you on the tv together most evenings and you can’t comment on our tv!) but i had to reach out and say that you never have to apologize for something like this! we all completely understand that you can’t always be high energy or fast paced and you shouldn’t feel the need to apologize, especially not multiple times, to us!!! i also wanted to add that i started watching you back in early 2018 as a way to overcome my anxiety of cruises and because of your vlogs and happiness and energy i have been able to go on two disney cruises since then!! (our last one, in september of 2019, had really rough seas too and my mom spent the last night in the bathroom suffering with sea sickness so i extra sympathize with you in this video and hope that you made a quick recovery!!)

[@wishes4ever972]

Give you much credit that you were still able to vlog. I felt bad for you, but you always kept your positive thoughts going. Thanks for what you do Michael

[@TheCoolCookieKitchen]

Don’t apologize to us. I feel Bad for you you’ve spent this money done all this planning you’re so excited. I got food poisoning in Disney World and was down for a full 24 hours and with all the hard-core planning and reservations I had made it was heartbreaking to let that stuff go as I lay in bed because I just didn’t have the strength to get up. I hope you feel better on this trip soon.

[@bethterra3957]

Michael you made the best of what you could ❤️

[@Lena-qk7qq]

Aww hope you slept better the next night but nice to see you still enjoyed the day and the awesome food made up for it:) Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!

[@jeansvacation1583]

Hi Michael how sad you got sea sick. Glad you are feeling better

[@FunFiero]

Oh wow!! Those were some pretty big white caps Michael!! Way to handle the rough seas with grace and style!! The brunch looked amazing!! Enchanted Garden for dinner?! Yes please!! I love the ahi tower and the sticky date pudding!! Love that restaurant!! Hope you get a better night sleep!!

[@oscareddrivera2337]

I went on a cruise that same week and the sea was really rough as well never experienced that before. Also I had a chance to meet Michael and Dave in the island of Tortola!

[@lesliwithPixieVacations]

Bonine, taken consistently, and Sea bands. Plus, I think staying mid ship makes a difference. Rough rough seas and didn’t get sick a bit. And, I’m very prone to motion sickness.

[@melaniewhite7677]

We had terrible seas coming out of Port Canaveral and the crew said those are the worst seas every time they leave port! Even coming back it was just if not worse. Once at sea it’s so much better. Get midship too! Just sorry to hear it happened before your Palo Brunch! Love following your videos dude!!

[@jenfletcher990]

When I went on my Disney Cruise, I used seabands and ginger gum, in addition to the non drowsy Dramamine. The gum was great because it was an instant relief!

[@kerrybreezy701]

Yes ginger gum / ginger ale is good. Make sure Dramamine hasn't expired.

[@samflower6612]

Mythbusters did a whole episode on seasickness.

[@belindaboatwright5369]

Seabands are a must!

[@sumiller833]

Next time ask your doctor for an Rx for Scopolamine patches. You stick it behind your ear and it will last for three days. You just switch out the patches every 3 days. They are for sea sickness and work wonders!

[@charlottegervais1755]

Awwww Michael, your positivity and kindness still shines through even when you aren’t feeling well. That is a major skill!

[@mjones963]

Thanks for that awesome sunrise. I am glad you're feeling better!!

[@sandynorris2571]

God Bless you great vlog Michael even though your sick, never giving up and still smiling some. Bless you. Didn't sleep much longer. Oh my! Deck 7 wow

[@HOGI1]

i always take 1 24hr non drowsie dramamine a day while cruising and it works great, i get motion sickness very quickly and by doing this im able to always enjoy our magical cruise, michael we were on the same cruise last september with ya we saw you and david vlogging but didnt want bother you guys disney cruise #12 coming again in sept and yes we are in countdown mode already lol, love these vlogs your passion is so genuine like prince dev and thats what makes your vlogs real, thank you and david for the vlogs

[@Kelz1141]

I’m glad you were still able to have fun. I went to Disney last October as a graduation present to myself and unfortunately I got the flu! Had to leave my very first Mickey’s Not So Scary about an hour in. It’s a bummer when feeling sick happens on vacation!

[@elizabethmoon1776]

Yesss when we went on the fantasy for star war day at sea two weeks ago the whole ship was sea sick because it was so rough

[@jenstrebelinski1457]

You walking on the deck with the winds reminds me of Weather Man Michael during the Hurricane at Walt Disney World 🚢🌊

[@makingmonsters1643]

jen strebelinski Stormtrooper Michael!!

[@MayForz912]

Glad you were able to recover from the sea sickness. Love your dining reviews. Great description of the flavor profiles. Thank you.

[@moonriser1964]

Its ok that you got seasick, we still love you! Thanks for hanging in there and continuing to vlog!! 😊

[@spmarsh3747]

Good Morning Michael! Oh, this video broke my heart! On the first cruise VLOG, I was very concerned about your cabin location for this reason! I was seasick only one time and thought I'd die, afterwards my Uncle gave me very good advice: try to have a cabin as midship as possible, always have crackers or something in your stomach no matter how bad you feel and NEVER go up on deck to look at the ocean or the pools (that'll do you in for sure)! Glad the non drowsy Dramamine helped you! Thanks for all the work you put into all these VLOGS :-)

[@JourneyTogetherToday]

SP Marsh oh don’t worry. It’s all part of the experience

[@lauragier1500]

i have been on 3 disney cruises. one i did in february was rough and our cabin was forward as we booked late and usually book midship. i felt bad as my husband and i were slightly nauseated but my daughter got sick and cried she wanted off the ship. once we got between the islands it was better but got bad again on the way home. medical did offer dramamine which helped my daughter sleep. so... i would avoid winter cruises AND never book forward again

[@Islandgirl58]

During my first disney cruise we got upgraded to front of the ship. Bad idea I felt sick the first night. Once we got into the Caribbean I was fine. We now always get our stateroom in the middle. Our Alaska cruise on the wonder wasnt that bad. I think I'm slowly getting use to crusing.

[@louisewalker2309]

I feel for you, I hope your feeling better soon! Good to see your still happy as ever! Xx

[@getawayswithangela]

Oh man Michael- the worst feeling EVER- but you stuck it out w a great attitude! Awesome footage!

[@juliannelaird43]

Hi, Mike! I'm a friend from Pennsylvania. You met my husband last year at Epcot when you were there with your dad. I watch you and Dave nearly every day, and really enjoy your fine work! I have major motion sickness issues, but I love to cruise. My first cruise I was able to use seabands, but later cruises were rougher. Once I was cruising solo and was quite ill in my cabin. My cabin steward was quite compassionate and brought me meclezine (which I believe is the same as the non-drowsy Dramamine). It worked quite well, but is NOT to be mixed with some other meds. In the past 15 years, I have always cruised with a scopolamine patch that is prescribed by my doctor. It takes me a while to wean off the scop patch after the cruise, but I can enjoy the whole cruise, regardless of the seas. (I am also able to enjoy Forbidden Journey and FoP with the patch. It really has been a lifesaver!)

[@angelad8841]

At about 14:07 did anyone else notice a rainbow?

[@melaniekriner7999]

You did so good for being so sick! Thanks for all of the tips.

[@Staren01]

Feeling sick in rough seas, and still able to put together a 30 minute vlog. That's dedication Michael.

[@SPB222]

I love watching your videos!!!! it makes me feel like I am still on bored! I am going on my 8th Disney cruise in October and i cant wait. I hope that you can go on more so there can be more vlogs!

[@bazzkrycek7982]

I was soooo happy to see you enjoying the rest of your magical day after the rocky start :) when I read the video title I was heartbroken for you, but so happy to see you still smiling through :)

[@hilda1170]

So sad you were feeling so sick. The sea has a mind of it’s own. So glad you could enjoy your yummy food.

[@Parkhopper1985]

I've been on 15 cruises (but my first Disney cruise in December 2020) and I've always said I would love to be out at sea during a huge storm - I'm rethinking that now. I hope you feel better Michael.

[@arniogerio8328]

3 Ahi tuna tower!!!😋 yummy..!!! Definitely you can feel more movement in forward section of the ship. Same thing happened to us when we went on a Cruise with RC. That’s why we requested mid ship room when we went on our Disney Cruise. And you still did a great video even though you’re seasick..!!!

[@lorrifrench4460]

Sorry you weren’t well. You still managed make great Vlog. God Bless you Mike.

[@GNML6836]

Even under adverse conditions you still shine through! We on the Disney Fantasy September 21 to 28 2024. Hope to see you onboard! 👍🏻🇨🇦👍🏻

[@sheilan208]

Michael, so sorry that you got sick! I find that Pepto-Bismol can really help the nausea. Trying to sleep when you’re nauseous is near impossible and is so uncomfortable! I’m sorry that happened!

[@LeeAnnAnderson]

Glad you were feeling better by the end of the day. Really like the thumper pin!!!

[@paulettebanning6353]

Oh, Michael I am so terribly sorry! My husband and I we're on the Wonder in December and on the last night we had some major waves. My husband and I were both sick, as was at least a quarter to a third of the passengers and crew. We also stayed in the center of the ship instead of going to our room which was at the bow.

[@susan1831]

First of all, I'm so sorry that you weren't feeling well. Be nauseous sucks! So, glad that you started feeling better. Can you explain exactly how the fish extenders work? Thanks for sharing and I'm so looking forward to your Star Wars Day! Keep sharing!

[@live2travel301]

It’s amazing how much you and your bro can eat. I love watching it all :)

[@AWlpsSHOW36]

I absolutely love how positive and cheerful you are despite feeling seasick and the rough waves. I found it rather uplifting and inspiring! It looks like lots of fun to be wandering around the ship early in the morning with no one around!

[@beckettsart8799]

Next time you go to Palo brunch try the artichoke ravioli. Our sever told us the chicken parm is the most popular dish but the artichoke ravioli is the best dish. I will say it was the best bite I’ve ever had on a Disney cruise.

[@ourfamilyvideos7283]

Love seeing y’all…you and your brother have different videos…it’s nice to see you both

[@caitandrews533]

sooooo glad you didnt have to miss that brunch!!! yay!!!!

[@lizattwood5167]

I tend to get sea sick so was afraid to cruise. I take the non-drowsy Dramamine each morning just in case and I’ve never had a problem with getting sick even when a ‘little’ rocky. Glad you started feeling better! Love your videos!

[@emmie595]

Ugh I feel so bad you felt so sea sick and your cruise looks pretty rocky... big thank you for still putting through a vlog! Lots of helpful hints for cruisers too 🙂

[@crasicatlady]

Once I was told by a boat owner (we were doing some whale watching on a small motorised boat) that focusing on the horizon helps with the nausea/dizziness. I think that's what happened when you were on the balcony where Mickey meets, and in the morning when you could actually see the horizon :)

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

Thank you for posting this. Taking my first cruise next year. I'm not prone to motion sickness but knowing particularly rough seas can change that, I'll make sure to bring some dramamine (and maybe a sea band)

[@rhondalockrey9592]

I felt so bad for you. My first cruise was in Nov 2 weeks after Hurricane Sandy the one that damaged the Jersey shore really bad. Lucky for me I wore a sea sick patch I was ok it worked lots of people were sick . One funny scene was after a comedy show was over everyone stood up to leave took 1 step then wobbled in unison from the rocking it was looked like it was a planned movie scene. I wondered if they sold out of patches & meds at the gift shop that cruise. Hope it improves for you.

[@billpaulk1058]

I had this same thing happen a few years ago on a Fall cruise to New England and Canada. It really was rough and I was so glad when the cruise was over after 7 days of choppy seas. Thanks for sharing Michael. I am glad I am not the only one who has experienced this kind of thing.

[@ladyj522000]

Hi Michael. Sea sickness is the worse feeling. Because I know I am sensitive to movement I start taking Dramamine 24 hours before my cruise and the first few days into the cruise. That way the medication is already in my system. Dramamine also expires so hopefully you didn't rate its performance based upon an expired package you brought for your first cruise. Also, for the first time ever I had a hard time watching your video because of the focus on all the movement. I still liked the video, I appreciate your content and I look forward to watching your future videos!

[@kaireenchesnut7924]

You are a trooper! Wish you felt better, but I do appreciate the realness. Some times, things aren't always so magical and don't go as planned. Its nice to see that too, because that's life! Not gonna lie, all that food at brunch after not feeling well. Well it was making my mouth water🤢

[@melaniehartlein2899]

Bless your heart! So sorry! I use Bonine beginning day before cruise and each day-I think I would be very seasick without it! Thank you for all of your helpful information and positive Disney vibes throughout!

[@AllisonMertzman]

Being sea sick is so hard. I'm so sorry. I have horrible motion sickness (how you felt is how I feel every time I do anything including FOP 😜).

[@christamarie211]

Hi! I was on the same cruise and we met! I was the girl w the red hair and Chewbacca ears! Anyway my husband and I had a hard time all cruise because of the rough seas! Not that we were seasick the whole time but it gave us a lot of sour stomachs every night. It didn’t ruin my cruise or anything but i could feel it. Also grace was our waitress at Palo too!!!! We LOVED Palo brunch! So awesome meeting you!

[@nadialambert8415]

Trust me I felt it too! Wristbands are great !

[@jademoore1423]

Pure ginger powder tablets and green apples are life savers for sea sickness. Been on 8 disney cruise and always feel horrendously sea sick for the first 2 days

[@susanmcinally7228]

First cruise I ever went on I had the Scopolamine Transdermal Patch....they work amazing....don't feel bad at all, it happens!

[@paulinewalker6471]

You should try the ‘grape and Gorgonzola pizza ‘ at Palo . It’s not on the menu , apparently it used to be but we ordered it in December and I have NEVER tasted something so wonderful in my life ! I guess it’s how you feel about the chicken !

[@marykay8587]

Maybe it's just me but I love the rough seas, I found it very soothing and relaxing but this is coming from someone who had a waterbed as a kid

[@gnuhbeana]

We did our cruise last January and I got super seasick the first 2 days and somewhat through the rest of the cruise. Might have been the waters. Laying down in the room and sitting outside with the sea air helped. I had dramamine, excedrin and Ondansetron which helped during the day time with shows and meals.

[@KimmyJane89]

After getting off we found outselves bracing as we walked as to not bump into the wall. lol. Very rocky cruise. I take Dramamine every day just in case but I was intense for sure!

[@conniefrank4510]

I have been craving that Ahi Tuna and Avacado tower since my cruise a couple weeks ago! Also, as someone who gets sea sick, sometimes sitting at the bow and looking at the horizon is the only thing that helps me.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Wow those are rough waves! Don't apologize, we understand. I was sick for a day during a Puerto Rico vacation in 2009, had to stay at the hotel

[@donernst6680]

My wife always wears a patch when we cruise. We always get a room in the middle of the ship. You do feel the waves more in the front and rear of the ships.

[@11142002th]

Oh no! Sorry you got sick. I have never been on a cruise before because I am scared of things like this. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

[@HeatherLass]

I’m so glad you were feeling better in time for brunch!

[@rachelslife6546]

Late- I love how positive you always are through everything your an incredible person❤

[@awesomeapq7086]

I enjoy waking up to these vlogs!

[@candicea7765]

Sorry to hear you got sea sick. Thanks for keeping it real with us and tips if we ever take a cruise. Glad you felt better for Palo Brunch and your excitement level came back 😁.

[@shannonp7824]

Sea sickness is horrible. Land sickness is even worse. I was fine on my first cruise, but when I got home I experienced land sickness and I couldn’t escape it. My bed felt like it was swaying, the couch felt that way. It was horrible.

[@maryanneburdock9123]

I really appreciate your ability to vlog and keep us informed even when you’re not feeling well. It says a lot about who you are. Thank you so much. I learned a lot.

[@inky2034]

I put the patch on 4 hours before I ever get on the ship. Then after I get used to it (usually 3 days) I peel off the patch! Get a RX from your doctor! Yes, you can prevent if u use the patch prior to getting on the ship!

[@donaldstevens932]

My family and I were on the Magic during these same high seas last week. Smaller ship, rough ride. Even cast members were seasick.

[@Gigitravels2.0]

Awa don't apologize mother nature happens. I'm glad u were still able to enjoy Palo and the rest of the day. Definitely get the wrist bands for the next one. Or if u can get something prescribed.

[@nikkolyne8944]

On our very first Disney Cruise, first night...I got sea sick. Couldn’t make it through dinner, went back to the room. Opened the door, thought I was doing good to make it to the bathroom sink to be sick. Didn’t realize that it wouldn’t go down the sink. Our room attendant had to come use a device similar to a shop vacuum to clean the sink. Was so embarrassing. He said he had done about 100 clean ups that night. Husband talked to crew members that said seas were so rough that half of the crew was too sick to serve dinner that night....compared it to going through a hurricane waters.

[@jkpanigel4896]

I get right into the water if I’m on a dive boat and the seasickness goes away immediately. Obviously you can’t jump off a cruise ship, but maybe jumping into the pool same principle?

[@lorettawhite5437]

I used sea bands they were awesume a must have when u go on a cruise hope u are better now that your probably home by now

[@brendan4184]

I understand what you sent through, sorry, but for me, the choppier waves the better. That's one reason I sleep so well on board. On my Fantasy cruise last week, we couldn't stop in Grand Cayman or Jamaica because of weather, and one day at sea, when I was in vibe open house, one could hear the ship crashing through the waves. By far the toughest seas I've ever had, but, I have to love them.

[@billon2wheels]

Love your videos! We just had our first Disney cruise in November and we are honeymooning in April in the Disney dream! Also with dinner at palo, I was shocked and glad to see your review if rekey glad we are going to palo! Keep up they great videos we enjoy them very much!!

[@sandynorris2571]

Love both your shirts Michael.

[@cromulus6877]

Love how you laughed through it all!! Hate sea sickness.

[@s1mpliixfamily786]

When we went to Wonder last year we experienced a very rough sea as well. We were at deck 5 front of the ship and it feels like we falling out of the bed, and til the next day it was so bad that my daughter had a very bad headache. We were walking like in one of the scene of the movie Inception. 😅. But to see you really sick, I can’t help but remember that exact time. But we still had a great time ofc. Thanks for sharing and we like to watch your videos.

[@JaredHoutsma]

I was at sea on the Wonder during your taping. I talked to a disney employess and she said this was the worst she had expeirenced since she came on in 2011. She also said on previous boats her bed faced the direction your brothers and now she had a bed in similar position to the main bed. She said she slept a lot better when it was in the couch position, I guess that makes sense. My head kept going up & down in the main bed, my kids kind of got rocked back and forth side to side, that sounds a lot more pleasing to me.
