Happened to me after 70,000 Tons of Metal a bit. Never bothersome though, but probably because I never took anything on the boat and never got seasick. I could just feel the rocking still in confined spaces. Went away after a couple of days. That was my second cruise by the way, so I don’t put much stock in the it only happens to you the first time train of thought.

I never really found the sensation that disagreeable. I kinda liked it, in fact. Landlubber.

I spent nine days on a houseboat on Lake Powell. I felt the slight rolling of the boat during the trip but it never really bothered me. After the trip, when I got home, I could still feel the rolling even after a couple days. Again, it didn’t really bother me but I was amused that I could still feel it long after we left the boat.

The effect is sometimes referred to as “getting your sea legs” and it should go away in another day or two. I had similar sensations following my first extended trip on a Navy ship, which had me out at sea for about ten days.

Come to think of it, I’ve never heard of it lasting quite as long as you’re describing. Perhaps all the extra time you’ve spent in a moving car has prolonged the sensation?

In any case, the funny thing is that you will probably never feel it again. Even if you go on another cruise your body will now “know” how to automatically switch between sea and land legs.
